Where do I find PackageMaker

Question

I'm in th eprocess of creating an application for distribution, and since it needs to

have some dynamic content (beyond the basic application created by Xcode) it would

seem PackageMaker is what I need to use.

Unfortunately, I have looked just about everywhere and I can't find it. All the Xcode

app appears to have is some basic documentation. This documentation says

PackageMaker can be downloaded from Apple as part of the DeveloperUtilities.

However, in the download area (where I downloaded Xcode) I can't find anything

appropriate.

Have I missed something obvious?

Go to connect.apple.com and search for "packagemaker." Of course you must first be logged into your developer account.

That was truely wierd.

Yesterday, I logged in and went to the download page:

and did a search for PackageMaker, and only turned up two hits, both for documentation.

Today, I logged in and went to the same page, and a search returned one hit: the

Auxiliary Tools for Xcode - February 2012.

I guess "it" needed me to say I couldn't find it before it would show up :-) :-P

For whatever karma was imparted... thank you. :-)

There are two search boxes in the page. Use the one on the left rather than the one on the top, which is a more global search.

It's deprecated in Xcode 4.6.

Xcode release note :

What to do then?
