Important side note that installer plug-ins do not execute when the package is executed via CL (like is commonly done via Jamf or other deployment suites). If the only thing that the plugin is doing is tossing a dialog, it may be worth looking into other ways to do that from within the preinstall or postinstall scripting.

The command-line installer is spelled with lower-case "i" and will not be affected by kill command.

The issue with calling system("killall -9 Installer”) is that if other installers are running simultaneously, those will be killed also. -Lora On Aug 19, 2019, at 4:36 PM, Vachik Hovhannisyan <vachooho@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Lora, As I pointed out in my previous posts, Installer plugins are running outside of the Installer process so all the ext()/NSApp.terminate/etc calls are dealing with another process hosting the plugin, not Installer itself. You still can use brute force kill command though system("killall -9 Installer"); Cheers V.

In this alert, I have a button which, when clicked, should exit the installer. This works fine on OSes prior to Catalina, but on Catalina, the installer hangs when clicking on this button. To exit the installer, I have tried the following six alternatives: exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); [[NSApplication sharedApplication] terminate:nil]; [[NSApplication sharedApplication] terminate:self]; [NSApp terminate:self]; [NSApp terminate:nil]; However, they all result in a hang (again, only on Catalina). For example from the console log when calling [NSApp terminate:nil]: default 15:33:16.841249-0700 distnoted unregister token: f4260 pid: 11340 default 15:33:16.841301-0700 distnoted unregister token: f425f pid: 11340 error 15:33:16.843817-0700 WindowServer CGLayerKit called back to a dead connection default 15:33:16.843990-0700 hidd Connection removed: IOHIDEventSystemConnection uuid:E9477186-1BC5-48C2-AC7E-F34BDEB7AFFD pid:11340 process:InstallerRemotePluginService type:Passive entitlements:0x0 caller:HIToolbox: ___GetIOHIDEventSystemClient_block_invoke + 26 attributes:(null) inactive:1 events:0 mask:0x0 error 15:33:16.844238-0700 WindowServer CGLayerKit called back to a dead connection default 15:33:16.847986-0700 runningboardd [executable<InstallerRemotePluginService(501)>:11340] Death sentinel fired! default 15:33:16.848452-0700 launchservicesd QUITTING: pid=11340 asn=0x-0x189189 foreground=0 wasFront=0 default 15:33:16.850220-0700 CommCenter #I handleLSNotitifcation_sync: Application exited: <private> default 15:33:16.851097-0700 loginwindow -[PersistentAppsSupport applicationQuit:] | for app:InstallerRemotePluginService (Installer), _appTrackingState = 2 default 15:33:16.850615-0700 runningboardd Invalidating assertion 324-133-1049 (target:executable<InstallerRemotePluginService(501)>) from originator 133 default 15:33:16.952295-0700 runningboardd Removing process: [executable<InstallerRemotePluginService(501)>:11340] default 15:33:16.956649-0700 runningboardd Removing assertions for terminated process: [executable<InstallerRemotePluginService(501)>:11340] I can also provide a [lengthy] .hang file if that would help.
