Script: Quickly create package from simple application bundle

Cool @athomson . Seems to work nicely. Thanks for sharing...

@athomson Good Afternoon!

Great scripts thank you for your work posted here.

Please forgive my ignorance with this script. I can't seem to get it working and not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have put Terminal in ROOT user mode and still it will not work. Keeps saying permision denied. What am I doing wrong? I would love to use this one and have already implemented the Hard Drive wipe one in Casper and will test it this coming week.

Have a very great day my friend and thank you for all that you share!

I moved a bit further along but I now get this error when running it:
ERROR: Unable to set permissions.
Exited with code #126 after 7 second(s).

Any clue? Have a great day!

@skinford

Have you tried running:

sudo sh /pathtowhereyousavedthescript/scriptname.sh

@hjcao Thanks for the tip.

I did try and I still get the error. Weird It looks like it should be working. Here's my script feedback:
/Volumes/Firefox/Firefox.app
Application Name: Firefox
Application Version: 51.0.1
Application Identifier: org.mozilla.firefox
Application Source: "/Volumes/Firefox/Firefox.app"
Application Destination: "/Applications"
ERROR: Unable to set permissions.
Exited with code #126 after 4 second(s).

I found a bit more here is what the error code means: 126 - if command is found but cannot be invoked (e.g. is not executable)

on github is app packager which does the same thing from either a dmg with a drag and drop install or directly from an installed app. I use it quite a lot.

@marklamont Good Morning!

Thank you for the tip. I downloaded it and it seems to work fine. Funny that's the way the window looked when I tried to turn @athomson script into an app using Platypus

I do appreciate the heads up. Have a great day and if anyone needs anything please let me know.
