I need to copy some files into the application bundle which will
replace some files installed by my installer.
I wrote an installer plugin to do the work and the files are being
put into the installer bundle on the server before the installer is
downloaded by the customer.
When the customer runs the installer, it goes through the normal
install process and then runs my installer plugin which is supposed
to copy files over from the installer bundle to the application
bundle.
Installer.app runs with the current user id. It doesn't matter if you
ask for root authentication or admin authentication.
Therefore if you need to change the contents of a root:admin 775
application, you need to belong to the admin group.
If you want to copy files, do it from a postflight script for instance.
