Are there any instructions or guides on how to publish a CoreCLR project as an OS X Application Bundle?

I'm about to start porting my desktop application from Windows to OS X and trying assess the suitability of CoreCLR to the task. From what I've seen and given that I don't require any exising GUI libraries (I'll be custom building all that myself) it seems to be a perfectly viable option. With previous versions of CoreCLR I've managed to get this working by manually construction the app package in a script.

What I'm wondering though is whether there's already a pre-existing method for assembling these app packages. eg: a way to dnu publish to an app package.

  • What's an `OS X Application Package`? If you're using `dnu publish` you'll get an nupkg that can be installable if the assembly inside is a global command. Otherwise, you just get a regular nupkg. There's nothing OS X specific in that. – Victor Hurdugaci Apr 19 '16 at 16:17
  • @VictorHurdugaci An OS X Application Package (actually the correct term is Bundle) is the standard way an OS-X desktop application is packaged. Typically just a folder with .app extension and a well defined folder structure inside. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_(OS_X)#OS_X_application_bundles – Brad Robinson Apr 19 '16 at 22:39
