Application Package keywords
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of application packaging is to package an application into a self-contained entity and hide its content from users. However, users often want to operate certain files of the application. For example, a user may want to add or delete a plug-in, localized resources, and so on. Developers can specify projects that can be maintained by users in the Info. plist file. The Finder will display these items in the bundle information panel and allow users to browse, delete, or add them.

 

CFBundleInstallerInfo
The root keyword of the application packaging information is CFBundleInstallerInfo. The keyword defines a dictionary that contains the keywords listed in the table A-7. The "required" column lists the features that you must support.
