I'm not sure I understand the issues raised. From a Mac product 
building point of view, the feature works as expected. I can imagine 
that the IUs are causing issues with p2 mirroring. But I'm not sure if 
that's Tycho's fault ot p2. :)

FWIW, building Mac apps is pretty easy with Tycho. Here is my pom.xml snippet:

<build>
 <plugins>
   <plugin>
     <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
     <artifactId>tycho-p2-director-plugin</artifactId>
     <executions>
       <execution>
         <!-- install products using p2 director -->
         <id>materialize-products</id>
         <goals>
           <goal>materialize-products</goal>
         </goals>
       </execution>
       <execution>
         <!-- create product archives -->
         <id>archive-products</id>
         <!-- move this to the pre-integration-test for signing to work -->
         <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
         <goals>
           <goal>archive-products</goal>
         </goals>
       </execution>
     </executions>
     <configuration>
       <profile>GyrexServerProfile</profile>
       <products>
         <product>
           <id>org.eclipse.gyrex.products.server</id>
           <archiveFileName>gyrex-${buildId}</archiveFileName>
           <rootFolder>gyrex</rootFolder>
           <!-- note: this doesn't work properly with Mac signing -->
           <rootFolders>
             <macosx>Gyrex.app</macosx>
           </rootFolders>
         </product>
       </products>
       <formats>
         <linux>tar.gz</linux>
         <macosx>tar.gz</macosx>
       </formats>
     </configuration>
   </plugin>
 </plugins>
</build>

As you can see from the comments, the tricky part /was/ getting it to 
work with the Eclipse.org signing service. But with the help of Than 
and some updates to the signing service, I was able to get it working 
with the following profile:

<profile>
