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 !
