I think you create the updater as just a standalone executable, not as a
normal Mac bundle.  Then you'd have to copy it by hand into the bundle.

Remember that myApp.app is just the bundle folder, your real executable
is just myApp located in myApp.app/Contents/MacOS/myApp.  You don't want
to replace the bundle with a new bundle, you just want to replace the
actual myApp executable with a new executable.

I could be way off here though, I've never attempted to do this, it's
just the first thing I can think of as to a way you can do it.
