Prev: Can't Create a NOTE In Apple Mail? Where are Notes Stored?

I've got a small application that I would like to release as beta and
it's coming nicely, except I've never packaged an XCode app before.

My application is really two projects, one creates a shared library,
and the other is the application. It also requires a project directory
with some example files that users can learn with.

Can anyone point me to anything that would help me understand how XCode
projects should be properly distributed?

Any help much appreciated.

Assuming the app uses the shared lib, you should put the library inside
the app's bundle, because users shouldn't have to deal with it.

The application and the folder of sample files can go on the same disk
image. Alternately, put the sample files within the app bundle and, on
first run, have the app offer to copy them someplace where the user can
find them.
