Here is the snapshot of an application bundle structure: A bundle for an application typically contains the executable and all the resources it needs. On macOS, a GUI application must be built and run from a bundle, which is a directory structure that appears as a single entity when viewed in the Finder.

The Qt installers for macOS include a deployment tool that automates the procedures described here. We demonstrate the procedures in terms of deploying the Plug & Paint example application that comes with the Qt installation package. This document describes how to create a macOS bundle and make sure that the application finds the resources it needs at run-time.
