I need to get simple executable file (resource folder must be in the same dir) without pack it in .app. How can i do this? Thanks!

Use Xcode to create an OS X command line tool project: File, New, Project..., OS X, Command Line Tool. See http://www.bricewilson.net/blog/2013/01/11/command-line-tool-resources/ for details.

After building your project, find the executable from the Xcode Organizer: Window, Organizer, Projects, your-project, Derived Data.
