Get Out of Squircle Jail Free With InstallAware MP!
« on: October 26, 2025, 08:30:29 pm »
Icons for macOS setups you build using this advanced installer, as well as apps you deploy with it, don't have to worry about their icons being placed in squircle jail:

www.installaware.com/iamp

The tool takes care of it all using documented macOS APIs, and overrides the squircle jail defaults to display your original icons - exactly as they were designed to appear!

Star the source code repository at www.github.com/installaware/iamp - and build it from sources free.

Guess what - InstallAware MP is built with Lazarus, too!

Thank you for sharing, especially since IAMP is open source. 👍🏻
