[Q] Howto: make Mac .app from the downloaded folder?

[michaelsboost]

So so if you have a Mac you can run Automator and add the code in run.sh into a shell script and create a mac app (hello.app) with automator. After that you can load in your project folder into it (inside "contents" if I recall correctly)

Otherwise no you can't.

Successful! Here's all what I have done following your instructions, as an example and reference for future inquirers.

1. Convert, for example, http://wikiwand.com/ as an Mac app (name: Wikiwand for example) via WebDGap, and download the generated zip file. (I've got wikiwand-macsite.zip here)
2. Unzip the file, and change the filename, icon, bundle name etc. per instructed in the video.
3. Run Automator, choosing "Applications" as the project type.
4. Find "Run shell script" item and add it to the workflow.
5. Copy the code in the run.sh generated by WebDGap, and paste it into the "Run shell script" process.
6. Save the application in Automator. Here I'm using "Wikiwand". The app name must be the same as what was given to WebDGap, otherwise the script will cause error.
7. Open the saved Wikiwand.app with Finder "Open bundle"
8. Copy or just move the /data folder into /Contents of the app bundle
9. That's it. The Wikiwand.app is now fully fledged.
10. Optionally change the icon of the app via Finder "Show Info" window or using 3rd party tools like LiteIcon★.

Thanks to Mike for the great work WebDGap!
