Someone mentioned the issue with not being able to call "open
myApp.app" in a postflight script because Leopard notices it's
downloaded from the Internet. I'm seeing the same thing with
launchctl.
Anyone know a way to launch your program after the install on Leopard?
Thanks very much.
The problem is that Apple attaches to those files coming from the
internet an extended attribute. Run this from terminal to see it
xattr -l myApp.app
Once attribute is removed with
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine myApp.app
You can launch it without user interaction.
Hope this helps,
Martin
PS.: Apple heavily uses now extended attributes for various things in
Leopard.
