How does one set a background image in an OSX .pkg?

installation, macos, package, pkgbuild

Solution

Ah ha! There is a resources flag that goes along with productbuild. Here is a stackoverflow question addressing the resources: How do I build an OS X installer package with a custom background with productbuild?

It mentions --resources /path/Resources

and an en.lproj subdirectory, and an XML resources file. You can specify the background.jpg or modify an existing one.

Hope this points you in the right direction(s).

Problem

I am creating a .pkg installer for my OSX application and I am having trouble figuring out how to set the background image. I am creating my installer in my build script like this: ``` pkgbuild --root $APP_FOLDER --identifier "com.company.product" $FINAL_PKG ``` This works great but I have not been able to find any information about setting the background image in the man pages. I have seen package installers that have custom background images, how does one set it? EDIT: Here is a screenshot of a package installer with a custom background:
