I was originally told this in a direct communication with Apple engineering
almost a year ago, when they were still trying to figure out the right way
to do it. It now appears officially in the last section of Technical Note
2206: Mac OS X Code Signing In Depth.
The key sentence is this: "A suitable place for a helper bundle is the
support directory Contents." The emphasis should be on "bundle," because the
rule is stated differently for non-bundled items. The sentence is a little
unclear when it says "support directory Contents," but based on my earlier
direct communications I take that to mean the main Contents folder of the
parent application package. I do it that way in my own apps, and they are
working as expected.
