I'm on Godot 2.1.1 on win7x64. Exporting to Mac OS X on 32+64 works OK, but on either 32 or 64, after choosing the location, I get the following windows:

  1. Exporting for OS X, creating app, 0%; then immediately:
  2. Alert!, Error exporting project!

Meanwhile, the Fat format doesn't quite work either because it puts the .app file inside a .zip file. You then have to unzip it, presumably, before uploading e.g. to itch.io.

update

I forgot about the debug window. More info:

Does the standard export templates file not come with OS X 32 or 64-bit? Does everyone just use Fat? If so then why doesn't it want to export .app instead of a .zip of a .app? Oh, for permissions. How do you distribute in a way that's friendly for the end-user then?

The error when when trying to export 64 or 32 sounds like a bug, on templates or the export options (thought they were leaving Fat option only since 2.0.4).
