Hi Jonathan. I don’t know the answer, but I do have a related question :)
Has /Applications moved or changed on 10.12?
I have the classic .dmg approach to installation, where a disk image includes an alias for /Applications and the user drags the app icon to it. On 10.12, the alias appears to point to nothing, and has a generic file icon. Has this kind of installer image been obsoleted by 10.12? If so, what can we do to replace it in a way that works across various OS versions?
