Creating AppStoreApp Overrides With Recipe Robot


Thanks to Nick McSpadden's AppStoreApp recipes, we can make munki and pkg recipes that you can use to distribute apps from the Mac App Store.

First, it's important to read the readme on Nick's GitHub repo to understand how these overrides work. Crucially: In order for these overrides to work, you must have the app installed locally on the Mac running AutoPkg.

Once you have the app installed, you can just feed the app path into Recipe Robot per usual. This will produce an AppStoreApp override, which you can use to package the app.
