I'm looking for an easy way to make an application non-executable, for
example, by compressing or encrypting it. Any ideas?

Couldn't you use some C code to make a Unix system call, changing the executable bit to off for user, group, and others? You could then change it back when it comes time to install it.

The file I'm taking about is this:

MyMasterApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyMasterApp

The system call would be found here:

% man 2 chmod
