Additional pkg file builds for MacOS.

Supports installation by package and avoids the procedure of running commands from the terminal.

It is no longer necessary to enter the following commands.

xattr -rc /Applications/OpenUtau.app

I think there is a reason why it was provided in a dmg file, so I have kept the instructions for creating the dmg file.

Is pkg better than dmg? Does it make sense to get rid of dmg? Can pkg seamless replace previous install via dmg?

@stakira It provides a new option for the installation method and does not intend to erase the dmg file installation method. I think the pkg file is a better choice for some users than the dmg file because both have advantages and disadvantages. I think the pkg file will be for users who use a Mac but are not familiar with Terminal or commands.

dmg file.

Advantages.

  • Traditional method
  • Fully compatible with automatic updates.

Disadvantages.

  • Requires command input from Terminal (difficult for users who use a Mac but are not familiar with Terminal or commands)
  • Security permissions need to be granted for dmg and app files.

pkg file.

Advantages.

  • Security permissions only once
  • No need to enter commands from Terminal

Disadvantages

  • Administrator permission required when updating.
  • Partial support for automatic updates (it even downloads the pkg file automatically, but you need to follow a few steps to update it).
