包装

Packaging

Users begin making assessments of your application based on its presentation in the physical or electronic package in which it arrives. Delivering a great user experience begins with thinking about how your product is presented prior to installation. Whether you distribute your application in a box or online, your goal should be to make the packaging aesthetically pleasing and informative.

用户首先是从您软件的物理包装或者电子包装来开始评测您的程序。仔细思考您的软件在安装前的呈现形式以给用户良好的用户体验。无论您是在包装盒中还是在线发布您的程序，您都应该让程序包装具有良好的审美效果，并能够提供足够的信息。

标明系统需求

Identify System Requirements

Including system requirements on your packaging is critical. Be sure to identify which version of Mac OS X is required for your software to run. Mac OS X runs on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macintosh computers. If your application targets a specific platform or processor, make sure it’s clearly stated in your system requirements. Be sure to test on as wide a variety of configurations as you can. If you know your application does not work under certain conditions, make that clear by stating it on your packaging.

在程序包装中包括系统需求至关重要。确保在包装中标明了您的软件需求的Mac OS X版本。Mac OS X可以同时运行在PowerPC的计算机和Intel的计算机上。 如果您的程序专注于特定平台或者处理器，确保在您的系统需求中已经明确声明了这一点。尽可能针对广泛的硬件配置进行测试。如果您已经确定您的软件在特定的情况下不工作，请在程序包装中明确声明。

ADC members can take advantage of the ADC Compatibility Labs to test applications on a variety of different types of hardware and operating system versions. The labs are equipped with every supported model of Macintosh and every Apple display. Lab technicians can install different versions of operating systems on these machines. This is an excellent resource for you to test your software in many different environments. Visit Apple’s ADC Testing Facilities website for the latest details.

ADC会员可以利用ADC兼容实验室来在不同类型的硬件和操作系统版本上进行程序测试。实验室具有所有Macintosh的模型和Apple显示器。实验室的技术人员可以在这些计算机上安装不同版本的操作系统。您可以使用这些优秀资源来在不同环境下测试您的程序。请访问苹果ADC测试设备站点获得最新细节。

打包您的软件

Bundle Your Software

If you are creating a new application, make sure it is contained in an application bundle. Application bundles provide a structure for your executables, resources, and configuration files. Application bundles also simplify the user’s interaction with your application and make it harder for the user to delete critical resources accidentally. Even applications that must support both Mac OS X and earlier versions of the Mac OS can use the bundle format. For more information on application bundles, see Bundle Programming Guide.

如果您在创建一个新的程序，确保它已经包含在一个程序包中。程序包提供了一个包含执行文件，资源文件和配置文件的目录结构，同时简化了用户和您的程序的交互，并且让用户很难误删关键的资源文件。即使您的程序需要支持Mac OS X以前的版本，您也可以使用程序包格式。更多信息请参考程序包编程指南。
