A “tool”, as Xcode calls it, is a traditional single-file executable. Depending on what data you need in your bundle, you can stuff it inside the executable. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4-SW6 <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4-SW6> If you need the power of a typical bundle, then you can modify the project to assemble a real bundle. That comes with the price of being awkward to install in the OS like most tools. If your tool has an owning application, I suggest putting the tool inside the owning application bundle.
