How to create a dmg file for a .app for mac.?

Question

I am a developer of iOS, and developed a mac app. Now I want to distribute my app so that a searched for it and found that we need to upload .app to Mac App Store it looks fine. While for self distribution we can have three options:

1. is to share our app
2. is to create .dmg file
3. is to share .pkg file (Package Maker).

In pkg file my client want to install app without introduction, read me as well as license agreement, I removed the license and readme but unable to remove introduction section. Please help me out from here…

Thanks in advance

If you dont need any introduction, readme etc, the best option is to create a DMG.

You don't need any external tools for this.

• Copy your app to a new folder.
• Open Disk Utility -> File -> New Image -> Image From Folder.
• Select the folder where you have placed the App. Give a name for the DMG and save. This creates a distributable image for you.

If needed you can add a link to applications to DMG. It helps user in installing by drag and drop.
