How to include an executable program with release

Ozster123

Hi,

I am writing an application using Godot. All going well except that I need to include a helper program to be included with the installed package. I tried just copying the program into the project folder. This works fine during development but when I package for my Mac the program is not installed even though I set the resource filter to include it. Probably doing something wrong or perhaps their is a better method? I am using 3.4.2.stable.mono on OS X.

Running executable programs in an exported project with OS.execute() will always be troublesome on macOS, due to its stringent signing and notarization requirements. This is also not feasible if your project uses the hardened runtime (which is required to publish on the Mac App Store).

Either way, you'll need to copy the binary manually to the .app bundle folder, likely in the Contents/MacOS folder. You can open an .app bundle as a folder by right-clicking it.
