Location of helper app

Targets macOS
1

I need to place the ExifTool helper within my app bundle. It is composed of an Unix executable, and a lib folder containing the stuff it needs to run.

Several times, Sam posted the place where helpers are supposed to go, but of course now that I need it, no search helps.

If I remember right, Helpers can be placed in MacOS. Sam, is it OK ?

TIA.

The “/Contents/MacOS” folder is a good place to start, also “/Contents/Helpers”.

Thank you Norman, thank you Sam.
