App Wrapper 3.8 Public Beta with App Diagnostics Now Available
App Wrapper from Ohanaware is included with Omegabundle for Xojo 2017. This tool is essential for preparing your application for deployment on the Mac App Store. Get started with App Wrapper 3.8 right from within the news stream in App Wrapper!

Let App Wrapper take the chore out of application deployment. Once configured App Wrapper makes it super easy to prepare applications for App Store submission or web site distribution. App Wrapper takes care of adding the required App Store properties, creating high resolution icons, code signing the application and its components, correcting the permissions, placing the app into a App Sandbox and packaging it in a signed installer or creating a zip file.

"App Wrapper, the premium tool that we at Ohanaware and 100s of other developers rely on every day to prepare applications for deployment."

MBS Linux Plugin for Xojo
As a cross platform solution, Xojo is excellent! But sometimes you want to address specific underlying APIs of the operating system. With MBS Linux Plugin for Xojo, a part of MBS Complete Plugin, you can do that with Linux only stuff, such as HTMLViewer extensions and avahi classes for zeroconf. Check the documentation for more information. You also get this plugin as a part of Omegabundle for Xojo 2017.

App Wrapper 3.8 for OS X, High Sierra DP ready & new App Diagnostics
Select "Updates" from the "App Wrapper" menu (you may need to click the refresh icon) or download from http://www.ohanaware.com/appwrapper/

What's new in App Wrapper version 3.8
The headline feature of this update is the new "Application Diagnostics" function, designed to check an application against 120 App Store rejection reasons, 70 potential code sign failures and critical issues, 37 possible improvements and when wrapping will auto fix 20 different kinds of issues. This function is based upon our PTE4 wrapping engine, which will debut in a future version of App Wrapper.

Other changes include:

  • Option to wrap Mac App Store apps to a different folder.
  • New identity selector, more informative and should reduce incorrect identity usage.
  • Now auto adds the Entitlements to the Resources folder (like Xcode).
  • App Wrapper is now built with the latest version of Xojo.
  • New Tools menu.
  • Selecting "Updates" from the "App Wrapper" menu, now forces it to check for updates, rather than showing already downloaded information.
  • No longer generates errors in App Wrapper when wrapping a "BitRock Installer".
  • Some slight visual improvements.
  • Some tweaks to ORCA.
  • Visual adjustments to the "Help Checker".
  • Right Click, Remove in the DMG signer, can now remove all selected rows.
  • Removed all the legacy code that was preventing App Wrapper from being built in the most recent version of Xojo.
  • Fixed a bug with ORCA's error reporting.
  • Fixed a typo NSPricipalClass instead of NSPrincpleClass.

Note: App Wrapper currently doesn't decompile or compare actual code; so code related issues cannot be checked.
