When it comes to bundles, there’s a golden rule (or many more).
Main Executable application goes in the /MacOS folder.
Additional executable code goes in /Frameworks, /Plugins, or /Helpers.
Non executable files should go in /Resources
So in theory your data files should be in the resources folder and the
externals that LiveCode create should be in PlugIns (especially as they roughly
conform to a bundle).
It seems like LiveCode likes to have the data files in the /MacOS folder, you
might be able to fool it by using a relative symbolic link, then again you may
not.
Have you spoken to any other LiveCode users on their forums or support about
this?
LiveCode has already dealt with this and that's why you see two folder
structures. See the release notes for LC 6.7 under the heading
"Non-executable file redirection on Mac" which contains a full
explanation. If you aren't building with 6.7, you'll need to do that.
To preserve backward compatibility while still conforming to the new iOS
rules, an empty folder structure is created in the older location, and
the actual non-executable files are moved to Resources where Apple wants
them to be. The engine will look in both places so that your existing
scripts will work without errors.
I trust the team to know what Apple will accept, so I think you are
probably okay, though the explanation in the release notes doesn't
mention plugins so I'm not sure about those (you could ask support.) Do
not delete the empty folders or change anything in the bundle though.
The engine needs those to find your files.
