I have an NWJS Mac App hello.app.

I signed the app using entitlements and created a package hello.pkg which works fine.

Now I wish to add an EULA agreement inside this package. Can someone suggest me how should I achieve this?

What I tried:

  1. Generate distribution.plist or xml from hello.app

    productbuild --synthesize --product "hello.app/Contents/Info.plist" --package hello.app distribution.plist

  2. Update the plist with readme/license files

            <installer-gui-script minSpecVersion="1">
               <license file="LICENSE.html"/>
               <readme file="README.html"/>
        </installer-gui-script>

  3. Now again build to create the package.

    $ productbuild --distribution distribution.xml hello.pkg

But I get error:

Cannot copy package "hello.app" into the product. (Bundle-style package "hello.app" is not supported.)

Please provide suggestions.

As far as I know --package must point to a .pkg file created by pkgbuild.

As mentioned by @asr create a .pkg file using pkgbuild before passing it to packagebuild
