B4J Question Using B4JPackager - Bundler "DMG Installer" (dmg) failed to produce a bundle

[Eric Baker]

Trying to use B4JPackager on Mac OS High Sierra

In the end I get the following error:

Erics-MacBook-Air:Desktop Eric$ java -jar B4JPackager.jar
App identifier: xxxx.asap.main
Success: true
StdOut: No base JDK. Package will use system JRE.
No base JDK. Package will use system JRE.
Building DMG package for XXXX
Did not find a key matching 'Developer ID Application: '

StdErr: Error: Bundler "DMG Installer" (dmg) failed to produce a bundle.

ExitCode: 255

Some googling indicates, that this seems to be some code signing, or gatekeeper issue?

Any ideas how to do this the easy way?

Test it with v1.50: UI apps packaging - self contained installers
It might show more information in the logs.

I tested the new version on a Mac. The dmg was created successfully although it did show a different error in the logs.

Tried it with 1.50

Had to install xcode as i needed to agree to its terms and conditions according to the previous logs

Here is my current log:

It looks like it failed to find the icon file.

 

[Eric Baker]

It looks like it failed to find the icon file.

It does seem so. There is no ".VolumeIcon.icns" in that directory indicated.

B4JPackager seems to find it, as during the process a dmg file gets generated and mounted, asking me to drag my app icon onto the applications folder.

 

[Erel]

This is the same thing that I saw. It seems like an issue in the javapackager tool: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-error-with-javapackager-on-macos-high-sierra

However I was able to find the dmg file. You can right click on the drive icon and choose Get Info. It will lead you to the relevant path.

You can also try to change the packageExtension (in B4JPackager) from dmg to pkg. I haven't tried it.

We Have a Winner!!

I changed the package extension to pkg, and it ran without error and I got a nice installer.

packageExtension = "pkg"

Thank you very much, Erel!
