Possibly I could also take a look on this, if you provide:

1. Name and path to your mypackage recipe, like:

meta-isar/recipes-app/libhello/libhello.bb

2. The variables from your mypackage recipe: PN, PROVIDES.

3. The content of your conf/bblayers.conf file.

4. The full line IMAGE_INSTALL you've added.

P.S. Also, am I right, that you are able to run 'bitbake mypackage' 
without errors?
