I have an application that needs a support folder in /Library/ Application Support. This folder is created when my installation package is run and has the following permissions: When running the 10.6 upgrade to Snow Leopard from 10.5, the permissions get changed to: This has the side effect of preventing the application from writing to the folder when run as a user other than root. Changing the permissions back to drwxrwxrwx after the upgrade fixes the problem, but I'd rather release a preemptive patch to fix this rather than dealing with it on the customer support side. Any suggestions? You can try storing your data in in /Users/Shared instead of Application Support. I'm not sure what the official recommendation is, but I'd take Apple changing the permissions behind your back as an unofficial recommendation, since it's obviously too late for them to change.
