First upgrade is OK, second fails.


I've run into this as well. This post describes it as well:

Thanks for the pointer!

Basically PackageMaker is storing the original version in it's xml file and then keeps using that old version for it's upgrade check. Delete all occurrences of version="1.0" from the xml file and it will use the apps Info.plist version instead.

Wow, that's really egregiously bad programming. I can't believe Apple didn't fix that in 10.6.


I was hoping it was just me...
