Hello.
We currently distribute an app that allows the end user to choose where to install their copy of the app.
Options provided are “installing to all users” and “installing to this user only”.
When installing to all users, we’re able to use the pkgutil tool to manage the installation as expected. Receipts in this case are stored at /private/var/db/receipts.
When installing to the user only, i.e. installing to the CurrentUserHomeDirectory (as per installer lingo), receipts are stored at ~/Library/Receipts and the pkgutil is unable to manage such installations, apparently.
Is there a proper way of managing installations performed targeting the current user home directory similarly to those performed targeting all users?
Thanks,
André.
