Director publishing through Mac App Store

Hey Friends,
Has anyone had success in packaging a Director App for the Mac App Store?
I have a number of software items I am looking to update and release for this channel. But want to make sure they can go in to the store first. Anyone care to share their path to publishing with the Application Loader of the Mac App Store?

Hey Steve,
Thanks. Was doing this on my phone and must have taken a wrong turn there Will clean it up.

I need the steps to publish my game to the Mac App Store.

Hi
I am working on a project using Unity3d game engine, it started as a free game but i thought that i could create something that sell so i need all the steps to be mac developer to be able to distribute my finished game at the Mac App Store!
Please notice that i am not from the USA, and there is no app store for my country, is that gonna be a problem regarding me getting paid?

Start at the [Mac Dev Center|http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/index.action]. Everything you need is there.

No. When you join the Mac Developer Program you'll get instructions on how to set up your bank account and how to place your app in the correct stores.

About Apple Mac App Store?

#1 When Will Apple ever Update Apple Mac App Store? cause it's starting to look like it's getting old even though it's working great but i think there needs to be an Update on Apple Mac App Store, they should make it look more like Apple iTunes in the Very end, that would be a good idea.
#2 in Apple Mac App Store they have a Papular Puzzlers Brain-Testing Games part of the Store, ok when you click it & or see it the Backround has a Red Maze of Some kind of game, what is the Name of that Mac Game or iPhone Game or both? cause i really wanna see what that game is, i realize they don't have that game in the link in Papular Puzzlers but there has to be a Certain Red Maze Game with that backround there using i know there is a game like that but don't know the name of that game so does anyone here know the Name of that game that Papular Puzzlers has the Red Backround Maze ? do you know the game name? or they just made a Design that way & thats it?

You can also search for apps by title, developer/publisher, category, or description by typing into the search field in the upper-right corner of the App Store window.

Mac App Store Export

Is it possible to export for Mac App Store with certificate etc.?
OR
Will it be possible in the future?

You don't need a special export, you just publish a regular projector. You then have to strip out any PowerPC code, and go through all the code signing and packaging that has to be done for any app.

Flash Builder and AIR 3.3 for Mac App Store

The new AIR 3.3 will bring "Improved Mac App Store Support": http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-3/
But I have 2 questions:
In what way will have be the improvement ? What do different from the past in this aspect ?
Will be (and when) a new Flash Builder version in the configuration of the Mac App Store certificate to deploy AIR apps for the Mac Store ?
As I can see from here: http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide there is a lot of procedures to make that a new Flash Builder could automate/make the developer life easier and what will be different from the guide in the new AIR 3.3 from the AIR 3.2 about the App Store ?

Trying to install new version of software from the Mac App Store

My iMac is running OS X 10.6.8
I purchase a copy of Swift Publisher 3.0.1 back in June of 2012.
I paid $19.99 U.S.D for this upgrade, then.
I just went to the Mac App Store to download a more recent version ( ver 3.5.5).
It is not coming up in the Mac App Store as an Update and appears as if I will pay another $19.99.
Is this what will happen? There is no indication on BeLight's web page about any update charges to any 3.x.x version of Swift Publiser,
When I click the buy button, it looks as though I am going to be charged for this, again. Nothing appears as an indication that this is just an update.
WHat will happen?

I solved it.
I, originally, download and installed the software under the Mac App Store when I was using OS X Mavericks.
I was getting all sorts of error messages from the Mac App Store under Snow Leopard.
I simply copied that version to my working OS X Snow Leopard disc and it is working fine, now.
Thank goodness for having multiple backups on three drives!
Whoo! Spent a good chunk of the day trying to figure this one out!

Mac App Store Notification Center

Hello many smart people on this forum,
As the days have passed after downloading Mountain Lion, I have receieved many updates on the Mac App Store. The weird thing, I find about this, is that I have not found any notifications about these updates, or recieved any banners. I'm wondering, what's going on? Is there some secret setting to do this, or does it just take time, or is it only spontaneous?
Many thanks, Daniel.

I understand that the MAS is not in the preferences for notification center. I guess my question is this: when it gave you the notification for an update, was the update already downloaded and you just had to install it? If so, how much time did it take for the update to be published to the MAS, to be automatically downloaded? Just curious. I'm just a bit disgruntled Apple hasn't said a lot about how automatic downloads work in Mountain Lion.

Flash Professional CS6 -- Easy Mac App Store Export ????

I Downloaded the Flash CS6 Trial yesterday and was really blown away over this amazing piece of software. What i noticed was that the "Mac Installer" publish did only a part of the job. It really also should had addressed Codesigning and packaging problems associated with getting Air apps on the Mac App Store. After all it was promised “Improved Mac App Store Support” wasnt it??
YES the Published .dmg had a .app inside, thats an improvement, but i had hoped for more plug and play.
Hope for changes when AIR 3.3 is out of beta...
So which options do we have left to achieve our goal? different tries with different command line tools ? 40 steps walkthroughs from non verified and often old sources ??? much guesswork, much time spent...
Does it exist a solid step by step tutorial that will not fail and covers CS6 AIR 3.2 // 3.3.B3 Publishing, Apple Certificate codesigning and packaging .pkg´s for the Mac App Store??
Any help greatly appreciated.

I've got the same problem!
I'm currently using Adobe Flash CS6 and I don't gave an idea of how to deploy my apps to be published on the Mac App Store!
If you find the answer, please, let me know!
Here's my email: [email protected]
Thanks a lot!

JavaFX apps for Mac App Store

There is an AppBundler project: http://java.net/projects/appbundler
There are the JavaFX deployment tools: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/jfxpub-deployment.htm
Oracle documentation for packaging apps for the mac says to use AppBundler:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/packagingAppsForMac.html
If I want to package a JavaFX application for delivery to the Mac App Store, should I use the AppBundler or the JavaFX packaging tools?
If the JavaFX packaging tools can be used to package an application for distribution to the Mac App Store, what are the steps to do this?
Can the JavaFX packaging tools also be used for packaging a non-JavaFX Java application for delivery to the Mac App Store?

If I want to package a JavaFX application for delivery to the Mac App Store, should I use the AppBundler or the JavaFX packaging tools?JavaFX tools is way to go. At least long term (as you need to use current beta from http://jdk7.java.net/download.html and it might have bugs).
If the JavaFX packaging tools can be used to package an application for distribution to the Mac App Store, what are the steps to do this? See materials from Scott's talk at JavaOne:

Air 3.3 and Mac app store?

The release notes for Air 3.3 suggest that you can package for the Mac (desktop) app store but I cant find any documentation on how this is achieved? Has any one done this?

EDIT : I have completely rewritten my post and made it complete so that if anyone subbles directly on this, all infos and links on building on the app store are on the same page.
Air 3.3 DOES support sandboxing for the Mac App Store. You have to enable it in the .app entitlements, just as you have to do it when coding directly from XCode.
Our App just got approved today using those exact steps!
1 - Follow all required step to build your (yet) unsigned .app. There is a pretty complete walkthrough here, just add the following steps to the codesign related steps : http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide/ .
2 - You now need to add 2 icons in the generated YourApp.app/Contents/Resources/Icons.icns file : 512x512 and 1024x1024 (yeah, that's huge, it's for retina display). I did this on Windows using a trial version of IcoFx, I don't know on Mac but a little googling should do the trick in no time. Note that you MUST do this before signing the app.
3- Create an entitlements.plist file that defines sandboxing as enabled
entitlements.plist :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
</plist>
4- When you codesign your application, define entitlements with previously created file. This will NOT overwritte the Info.plist file found in YouApp.app/Contests. Also note that paths can be relative.
codesign command :
codesign -f -v -s DEVELOPER_CERTIFICATE_NAME --entitlements /path/to/entitlement.plist /path/to/YourApp.app/
source : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8385252/how-to-build-sandboxed-app-without-xcode
NOTE : I don't know if you need to enable sandboxing for each of the Adobe bundles you have to sign with your developer certificate. In the end, I didn't do it, we'll see what Apple will decide.
5 - Confirm that sandboxing is enabled by running the following command. Don't forget the lonely ' - ', it specifies standard output as display output. You should see the path of the executable followed by the content of your entitlements.plist file. If not, you did something wrong and you should check out step 1,2 or 3 again.
codesign display entitlements command :
codesign --display --entitlements - /path/to/YourApp.app
6 - Package and submit your app by following the rest of the instructions on http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide/ . Note that you MUST specifiy /Applications as the installation path or else you won't be able to submit your app to Apple
product build command
productbuild –component /path/to/bundle.app INSTALLATION_PATH /path/to/installer.pkg –sign INSTALLER_CERTIFICATE_NAME
There you go!

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Unable to login in to Mac App Store using valid account.

I recently inherited a spare MacBook Air from my wife (who got a new one). I deleted her user account, and set up a new admin user account for me. The machine is running 10.7.5.
Now, I am absolutely unable to login to the App Store. I am using my valid Apple ID -- for example, the same Apple ID that I used to gain access to this very forum. System Preferences accepts my ID. iTunes accepts my ID. BUT the App Store will aboslutely NOT respond. It will not load. I get the red "connection failed" alert, and then after several tries it doesn't respond at all.
It doesn't give any option to switch users -- perhaps once the original owner has used the App Store, the computer will never again allow anyone else to use it? It doesn't say that there is another user logged in. There appears to be no way of deleting and reinastalling the App Store. There is no cache file I can find to be cleared. There is no preference option. There is no information. There appears to be no way of fixing this at all, short of wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system. Is that what I have to do? WHY IS THIS SO HORRIBLY DESIGNED? And why is there no support short of the forum? I hate this about Apple (despite being a long-time Apple evangelist and OSX devotee).
Thanks.

The first thing you should do after acquiring a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
