In OS X, an .APP is a directory, not just a single file. The executable binary of the application is in the directory Contents/MacOS of that .APP folder. To make this visible in Finder, right-click on the application and select "Show Package Contents".

Since Mac OS X uses this concept, there shouldn't be a need to append data to the executable itself. Just put your stuff somewhere in that .app folder.

Just the same as you would normally, it's just in a different folder, it's still a regular `exe` file.
