Some of the documentation I have read regarding packaging has suggested using pkgutil for generating component packages when appropriate, and using productbuild to wrap them all together. However, the man page for pkgutil says that if you intend to distribute on the App Store, you should not use pkgutil and instead use productbuild directly. However, I'm having the previously mentioned issues. What general architecture should I be going toward if I would like to be compatible with the App Store?

Interesting. That explains the lack of documentation for my goal. I'll keep the App Store on the back burner until this project gets some momentum again.
Until then, I just need to get the installer working without PackageMaker. Is there any documentation that explains how to include install scripts?
Thanks,
