Delphi, MacOS and dmg file

Does anyone have recommendations for a MacOS installer?  Something along the lines of Installshield for Mac??

Personally, I create .pkg files - using the create installer function of Mosco.

I am distributing outside of the Apple Store for this Macos product.  I need to install the app and its supporting files in a specific way.  Pkg files don't do that, and I could add it to the app though, on startup...  Just would prefer a real look and feel installer

We use DropDMG (https://c-command.com/dropdmg/). It's inexpensive and very convenient. It has multiple templates for different installers and creates a signed DMG package by just dropping the app on its window.

Could you elaborate on what you found impossible to do with .pkg files? FWIW we use Packages as a comfortable way to build these. And if all else fails, you could make the .pkg run a shell script so there's almost no limit on what you can do.
