Product Builder allows to create packages ready to be transmitted using the Application Loader (by Apple and included with the Developer tools) to the Mac App Store.
It is an indispensable tool for any App Store developer that want to submit application to the store using an alternate method to internal XCode sending mechanism.

WHY USE IT

• Indicated for LiveCode users, Xamarin users and any other alternative development environment that can't create a package and send directly to the App Store.
• Allows to correctly submit applications with a spaces inside the application name
• Can optional check for MASReceipt inside the app to avoid creating from an already authenticated app
• Can optionally add the app release number to the package (to avoid submit old packages in the submission phase)
• It makes the repetitive creation of packages a pleasure and avoid errors creating and submitting to the App Store!

USAGE

• Insert the correct setup one time only, to create a package
