Apple provides an entire document on the topic of software distribution, and it is on your computer already. See
file:///Developer/Documentation/DeveloperTools/SoftwareDistribution/ index.html
for details.

The preferred distribution styles are gzipped tarballs or disk image files. For the former, use

gnutar -czvf DestinationPath.tgz SourceApp.app

. For disk images, use hdiutil or Apple's Disk Copy program. Apple has documentation available on distribution methods. DMGs are the preferred method.

Either of these techniques will have the added benefit of reducing the size of the binary you'll be transferring.

I posted awhile ago, about not being able to e-mail apps, but this is gettng
bizarre.

It turns out that only Apple's Mail client will allow me to select apps as
attachments, but has anyone ever done that? When you then become the
recipient, the apps are broken down into many separate files!

At first I thought it was something in the cocoa development process, but
then I attached the Chess and Clock apps and sent them to myself. Even
those apps are fragmented into many files.

What's going on here? I can't be developing with cocoa, if I can't e-mail
the finished apps.
