Just like Apple does, when shipping your .pkg file, you may want to place it in a disk image .dmg with a beautiful background and perhaps a license agreement as well. Package Builder integrates with DMG Canvas which is the perfect tool for building your disk image. With this integration, building your disk image in DMG Canvas will now automatically build your installer in Package Builder, and place the .pkg file into your disk image, code signed, notarized, and ready to go.
