Standalone application for Mac

I have a standalone application created in Matlab. If I want to run it - I have to open a Terminal, set environmental variables, navigate to a directory with this app and then type "open MyApp.app". But could anyone tell me if it is a possible way to run this app like Finder or Safari - just click them on the Dock?

Yes this is possible since MATLAB Compiler 4.13 (R2010a). You will need to install and configure a preferences pane though; see the following documentation page for details:

Ok! Thank you very much, I'll try to find MATLAB Compiler 4.13!

Can you please help me with the updated instructions? The above link does not exist anymore.

My standalone application (.exe) is unable to run on MacOS - it gives the error "MacOS cannot run a windows application"

You will need to compile on Mac to be able to deploy the Mac.

The only way you could compile on Windows to deploy to Mac would be if the Mac had something like Parallels installed.
