Deploying and Signing OSX app the right way

Recently, I've complete my 'geshtalt' - migrate and release Windows FMX app, Ecolight-AP under MacOSX platform. And, by God, it was painful and hard, mainly due to EMB toolchain tried to fracture my butt on almost each final step.
The dehydrated knowledge here is crystallized two weeks of pain and swearing, and sweatting.
Problem starts reveling itself after all Debug stuff was successfully brushed on MAC, under PAServer session, and Release for App Store was created with Developer ID * certificates, which allow to install from signed local pkg.

PO2TXT converter script for FMX TLang

For the recent mobile FMX application development, I had a challenge, do not use any service from my full-featured cross-platform framework, to minimize application bloat, besides, FMX framework itself is rather big piece of cake.

One of the cornerstones is a I18N support which in my framework is based upon custom implementation of gettext. In current case, I decided to wrap I18N manager coode around FMX's TLang. As far as TLang may use, besides its binary stoarage, the plain text files as well, formatted as key=value pair.
