How can I zip app

Post by Wolfram »

How can I zip an OSX application.app?

If I use AddPackFile(0, destinationFile, programName) it will not add the contents of the application package.
Is there an easy way or must I run true the application.app directory?

Thanks mk, but I want to build a program which helps me to automate things and I hope I can do this easily with PB.
So the question is, it normal in PB if I use AddPackFile(0, destinationFile, programName) to add a program.app that I get a zip
with just a empty folder inside?

Program.app is also just a folder.
So you have to pack the contents of the app folder individually to a ZIP
