    Creating a Mac App on a mac doesn't work!

    I'm running Windows 7 on a mac (using Parallels) and I tried building a mac application. Unlike on a windows machine, MMF2 creates a .app folder in the desired location but fails to fill it with the application contents.

    Is there a work-around? Can this be fixed in a later build of MMF2?

    EDIT: I tried building the app to the parallels-created C: drive, figuring it might work correctly since it's within the Windows OS. It did. Sort of. The .app folder if filled, but when I open it, it flashes in my mac's doc for a second before closing. Yet, when I open up the package contents of the .app folder and click on the Application.jar file, my application opens and runs. Why can't I run the application without opening up its contents and clicking on the .jar file?

    It think you should simply try to build a standalone java application, then create an app with the latest JarBundler (part of the Apple Developer package). It works for me very well!

    Have you tried to build a Mac application directly on a PC? Does it work?

    Yes, when I build it on my PC, it works fine on my mac. I'd just like to be able to both build and run applications on my mac. That JarBundler thing looks like it might work, but it doesn't easily do everything MMF2 does (like the menu bar and icon). Could this bug be fixed in the next build? I suppose that's a lot to ask since MMF2 is a PC application.

    EDIT: I could upload the .app file MMF2 creates on my mac if Clickteam wishes to diagnose this bug.

    Yes, please make a zip with the app file and post it. By the way, when I copy via FTP the app folder from my PC to my Mac, it does not work. I have to zip it to make it work.
    Can you try to ZIP the app folder on your Mac-PC, and once in the Mac unzip it and try it? It may work...

    I tried zipping the .app folder in Windows (on my mac) and then unzipping it in OS X, but I got the same result.
    Here is that zipped file.
    Here is the respective MMF2 file.
