用于Shell脚本的Mac OS X应用程序捆绑包不起作用

Question

I just did a app bundle like it's shown on this blog , but the app is not working. It looks like it will open (the OS X effect of the app opening) but then nothing happens, no window, no process, nothing. Running the script as ./app.sh on app directory works perfectly and opens app window. The steps i'm doing are:

1. Copy appify script to my app directory.
2. Run appify. Generates My App.app with shell script inside of Contents/MacOS/ and Info.plist file on Contents/ .
3. As my app needs other files, i copy my data/ directory onto app bundle directory Contents/MacOS/data/ .

I tried using appify script shown in the blog post and also the updated one . I also tried chmod +x on both, the .app bundle and the .sh inside of My App.app/Contents/MacOS/ .

I'm lost on how to make the bundle run my app. Any clues on this?

You don't need appify to create a script that can be executed with a mouse click (like an app), just follow this simple procedure:

1. Create your script file (ex. myscript)
2. Give it execution permissions (chmod 755 ./myscript)
3. Contextual menu on the script file -> Get Info -> Open with: -> (Associate: Application->Utilities->Terminal app)
4. Contextual menu on the script file -> Get Info -> (Put the icon you want by drag/drop your icon file on the high left corner little icon)
