Package Builder 2.0.2 by Araelium Group is a Mac software to create installers for. It allows you to create signed and notarized .Drag and drop installation of pkg installers for apps, fonts, extensions and almost any other software component.

Package Builder 2.0.2 Overview

Package Builder is a macOS utility to create installer packages that aims to remove the confusion and frustration developers often encounter when trying to build a proper .pkg installer. No more fighting with Apple’s command line tools -- pkgbuild, productbuild, altool, notarytool, and all the various component and distribution files that have to be created -- Package Builder makes it all a simple graphical workflow: give your package a name, drag and drop the files you want to install, customise destinations if you want, and click Build. The app will create installers for just about any type of Mac software component you can think of — Applications, Fonts, Screensavers, Automator workflows, Shortcuts, Extensions, Device Component Plugins, Sounds, Preference Panes, Input Managers, Colour Pickers, Desktop Pictures and more. Package Builder not only handles the basic file installation, it also allows developers to provide a “typical look” that users expect from a proper Mac installer including a background image, an Introduction and Read Me prior to installation, and a Summary screen following the installation. Version 2.0.2 continues the ongoing refinement of the app on the 2.x track. Package Builder requires macOS 13 or later, and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel. The package is fairly small at about 14.8 MB. It’s made by Araelium Group, the same people behind DMG Canvas, and the two apps are designed to work nicely together for developers who also want to package their .pkg inside an image of a disc designed.

Key Features

Create Package Drag AndDrop Drag in files, set a few config options and click Build to build a full macOS installer package – no command line work needed. Support for Virtually Any Software Part Create installers for Applications, Fonts, Screensavers, Automator workflows, Shortcuts, Extensions, Device Component Plugins, Sounds, Preference Panes, Input Managers, Colour Pickers, Desktop Pictures and more. Custom Install Locations Drag in components or files and set their exact location in which they should be installed on the target system. You have complete control over the structure of your package. Background image, better installer design. Select a custom background image for the installer window that looks like a typical macOS installer to give the finished package a professional and expected appearance. Introduction, Read Me and Summary Screens Add an Introduction and Read Me screen before installation starts and a Summary screen after installation is completed so the user always knows what is happening. License Agreement for Support Require users to accept a license agreement before installing . Support localised license agreement in multiple languages . Custom Pre & Post Install Scripts Run custom shell scripts before or after install to handle advanced use cases like managing existing files or restarting system services as part of the install process. Requirements Verification Make sure users are on supported systems (for example, certain versions of macOS, Intel or Apple Silicon, or a certain amount of free disc space) before the installer can proceed. Code signing & Notarization support Create fully code signed and notarized macOS installer packages directly in the app, eliminating one of the most error prone parts of manual.pkg creation. Build Diary See a full build log, showing all the steps Package Builder takes to build a package. This makes it easy to tell where the problem occurred if the build fails.
