Thanks to a headstart from Dennis Birch I'm now able to use an IDE script to build and bundle my Mac UB app. Thanks for the nice script Dennis.

After a while I noticed that often there would be only the default icon shown on the built app and not my custom icon, and then I discovered that the AppName.icns file was not in the bundle as it should have been.

It turns out that the IDE does not include icons in UB apps unless the UB build is enabled in the BuildSettings dialog, eventhough the script requests a UB build using the BuildApp(8) command.

So to get an icon included in your UB app you need to either make sure that UB is enabled in the BuildSettings dialog or use something like this in your IDE Script.

// build UB version
BuildMacMachOUniversal = True
path = BuildApp(8)

Passing the build type to BuildApp eg. BuildApp(8), is insufficient to get a UB build with an icon.

Not sure if it's a bug, but it's certainly a subtle trap. :-)
