When I double click .pkg which contains cocoa install plugin

They are called "Installer Plugin". And they are always written using Cocoa so the qualification is redundant.



to run it using installer, one warning dialog will be shown:
"this package contains a program that determins if the software can be installed. Are you sure want to continue?"

That is correct.


I don't want this dialog be shown, how can I do ?

Your Installer Plugin is a piece of code not written by Apple. Therefore it is suspect of not being as trustworthy as the Apple- supplied code of the Installer.app. This is why Apple warns the user about this situation. It's a security feature for the user who can then decide if they trust you enough to allow running your code.


To answer your question:
a) Don't use an Installer Plugin.
b) Don't use the Apple Installer. (Either by not using any installer at all which would be best in many cases or by using a different installer. The later would also be a potential security problem for the user but they will not be lulled into thinking that because the installer is from Apple it is trustworthy.)
c) Change your attitude about not wanting this security message and accept that it is A Good Thing™.



Thanks!
