Hello
I was trying to understand how to build an installer package with
PackageMaker, and have faced with a problem.
I want to install an *.app bundle that i have created, using a *pkg
file, that i created with PackageMaker. The problem is that Installer
(or PackageMaker?) doesn't want to install *.app bundles to
Applications, while it successfully install anything else - folders,
ordinary and binary files there. I can't understand, why?
The "lowest" MacOS version specified is Leopard 10.5
Is it because of some security issues, that i haven't counted?
Do these bundles have to be signed with a certificate to be installed?
What can cause that problem?
Thanks!
Let me guess…
If you look at the Installer logs, does it say that the application
was relocated during install to another location (like where another
instance of the application already exists)?
If the answer is yes, this is a known issue that can be addressed by
unchecking the option to search for previous instances.
That being said, I'm wondering whether this "bug" is going to make it
to the Mac App Store.
