I am trying export my patch as a stand alone app.

How can I include audio files in the application so they aren't missing when it opens?

How can I add an icon, so the app doesn't have that missing sign as it's icon?

makes no sense to repeat it again and again

thank you for the link. i was searching for some instructions but couldn't find it. Thank you I will search for that article. 

if you don't manage to include your files,

post again, but this time with infos about max version, OS etc

Ok I am using Max 8 on a M2 Mac, running Ventura 13.2.1

After I opened the patch I wanted to make into an App, I selected "Build Collective/ Application" in file, 

Then a dialog box opened up which allowed me to add files and folders. 

To add my own custom App Icon, after I made the app, I selected it and control clicked on it and went to "show contents" . I went into the "resources" folder and  deleted the Max.icns and all the other .icns files  I saw. I added my own custom .icns file with the logo i wanted and named it Max.icns. 

It seemed to work for getting my own logo to be used the the App I made. 

it is important to include standalone object in main patch and set it up properly.

from what needs to be included, overdrive, prefs name  etc

Ok i will do it again with the {standalone] object.
