This is the preferred method of deployment. Experienced Mac users hate
it when an installation scatters crud all over the filesystem. You
should especially not be polluting /usr/local/lib.
The sole reason for the existance of /usr/local/lib is to hold
libraries used by user installed apps.

Hi,I have number of static and dynamic libraries in my application.
At present i have kept all the libraries in "\usr\local\lib" folder.
I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to keep all these
libraries inside the application bundle itself? Similarly there are
number of input files that my application uses. At present these
files are kept in "Library/Application Support/MyApp" folder. These
files also be kept inside the bundle.The advantage with this approach
is I dont need to create different directories on target machine at
the time of deployment since all the user data is inside the app
bundle itself.What could be the major disadvantages of this
approach?Thanks & Regards AbhijeetDear cocoadev ! Get Yourself a
