OSX Installer

In my testing, I was able to sign a regular .pkg installer with a Studio 5.1.1 that ran successfully under 10.10 DP 5, which has the same requirements for Gatekeeper 2 as 10.9.5. I was not able to get the bundle completely signed thanks to the changes in Gatekeeper 2 and how TigerLogic distributes its Mac OS X applications. We've deployed a drag and drop application bundle install until now, and it looks like we'll need to switch to a package-based installer.
