Whenever you need to create an installation package or distribution for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, Packages is the powerful and flexible solution you're looking for. With Packages, you can define which applications, bundles, documents or folders should be part of the payload of your installation packages and where they should be installed.

The quickest way is to Open iTunes - Select Apps from Top Left Corner - Type the App in Search in Top Right and download it. Drag the downloaded app to your Desktop. To find the App file, select Library - Right Click the App and choose Show in Finder. The Upload to App Store and Validate buttons are grayed out in the Archives Organizer. If the Archives Organizer shows Upload to App Store and Validate as shown in Figure 5, then your archive is likely a generic Xcode archive rather than an app archive. You cannot package generic archives nor submit them for. Show iOS Simulator – Brings the iOS Simulator window to the front on the Mac. Show IPA File on Build Server – Opens Finder on the Mac to the location of the application’s IPA output file. IOS Output Options Output Window. There are options in the Output pane that you can view to discover build, deployment, and connection messages and errors. Click on the Action Button in the Finder Toolbar, control-click, or right-click with the mouse button (this example demonstrates the Action Button option) Then select 'Show Package Contents' from the drop-down menu You will now see a folder called 'Contents', click on it.

Or use Chromium, which uses Sparkle and avoids all of this custom silent unremovable Google Updater nonsense.
I second the 'use Chromium'. It feels slightly cleaner, and doesn't have Flash. I keep Chrome around for when I need Flash, but prefer Chromium.
Trance making software for mac free. That is a common misconception. If you right click on Chromium, select Show Package Contents, go to Contents/Versions/version number/Chromium Framework.framework/Internet Plug-Ins you will find Flash Player Plugin for Chrome.plugin.
Thanks! I had about 12 versions, all over from 16.xxx to 17.xxx
On two of my Macs, there were only two versions of Chrome present, so I didn't bother performing the hint here. On a third, however, there were 14 total versions and I deleted all but the most recent one. I, too, saw a noticeable improvement in Chrome launch time after dumping all the old versions.
I would delete your copy and download it again.. I have nightly builds option and my copy is only 220MB (and only 2 versions in the package)..
My copy had hit 14 versions and was over 950MB. I deleted all but the two newest versions and for some odd reason, the size actually increased to 1.4GB. I'm going to delete, download, and install a new copy.
I have been running chrome for quite a while now, and mine only has the current version, and the previous version - total 220 MB interesting that some keep more copies than others..
Thanks! Mine was at 2.2 GB
If you happen to be faced with a package (.pkg) or meta-package (.mpkg) file and want to inspect its contents before you initiate an install, there's a nifty OS X utility that can dump out the files contained inside for your inspection.

Application Packages
First, I need to backtrack for a minute.
As OS X users, we're familiar with the fact that applications are actually complex folders in disguise—packages in developer lingo. OS X recognizes application packages and knows how to give them their unique icon. There is a contextual menu item, 'Show Package Contents' that allows one to drill into the guts of an application and view all its resources.
Sow Package Contents on an app. Right click for contextual menu.
Inspecting Installer Packages
One might think, at first, that the OS X command 'Show Package Contents' will work on another package file, an installer that ends in .pkg or .mpkg. That may or may not work depending on how the package file is constructed.
Note that .mpkg files are meta-packages that may contain .pkg files inside them that may be amendable to Show Package Contents.
However, if Show Package Contents isn't provided as a contextual menu option for either type of installer, don't despair. A different kind of tool is needed to analyze it. In this case, one can use a nifty OS X command line tool called pkgutil. It extracts the contents of the package file into its component pieces and can write it all out to a folder for inspection.
The easiest way to get started is to do a simple expand option and write it out to a named folder. The 'man' page, of course, shows all the options. In the simplest case, the terminal commands would be:
In these examples, the destination folder will be in the same folder as the package file, but one could define a path to somewhere else.

In researching this command, I discovered a nice GUI utility called Pacifist (OS X 10.8 or later) that can drill into, amongst others, .dmg and .pkg files. It's $20 shareware, and if one works in the above mode a lot, it could well be worth the investment. But for casual inspection, the pkgutil command is nice to know about.
