I have some internal application bundles inside my main application bundle (in Resources). After installing (with Installer), my application is placed in /Applications, but I can’t find my “internal” application by their bundle ids.

If I manually go to the /Applications, select my application and navigate to its content in Finder, my “internal” application became visible.

I know that lsregister is responsible to register application bundles, I have this script in my postflight in pkg:

SREGISTER="/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister"

$LSREGISTER "/Applications/MY.app/Contents/Resources/MyMini.app"

But I need administration privileges in my installer, that’s why this command is executed by root and does no effect to current user.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks!

    It seems that there is no solution for this. Because I need to run the lsreginster for every user of the system, and newly created users after the installation will not see this helpers app.

    The only way is put this application outside the main bundle (in subdirectory of the /Applications for example)
