I'm sorry for the late answer but I'm still fighting with a cold.

Stephane tried to help and it seemed that I was able to solve the problem but this was a false positive.

The root cause of the problem is the owner of the application. This was not changed to root. And so the application didn't have access to it's own plist file.

Have just been trying again. Now I got a new behavior. The permissions of the app and it's plist are okay. But the main app contains a helper app. This this plist is now NOK.

The finder shows

system: read & write
everyone: no access

This is a 384 while it should be 420.

A bit later...

I've now got a workable solution: chown the helper app to root , chown the main app to root. Then both apps seem to get the correct permissions when I create the installer.

But I still don't understand why I have to do this.
