Folks,

I've used Packages for a number of years and thing it's a great tool. I currently have a new need that I'm stuck on. I've scoured the resources I could find regarding Installer Plug-Ins and have managed to develop the framework for a basic Installer plug in. But I've come across a challenge, that I believe I know the solution two but would like some input as to best approach.

Fundamentally I need the installer to request a site name, user and password and then do a secure POST to a web site to get an authentication token and then a subsequent file. I have mocked this up with curl in a postinstall script.

a) Originally I was going to merely have the installer plug in request the user input, but I don't see how to pass this data to the postinstall script. My reading leads me to believe I will need to pass this data via temporary file. I see the various shell environment variables available to the postinstall script but am uncertain how to grab a handle on this same temporary directories within the plug-in itself. For example the environment variable for SHARED_INSTALLER_TEMP or INSTALLER_SECURE_TEMP are available to my postinstall, but how are these referred to in the actual Plug-In?

b) Or I can do all the URL stuff in the plug-in, dump the file to a temporary directory and then have my postinstall merely do the final copy and move into the users directories etc, but again I face the same issue as above.

And finally as an aside, is it possible to debug the plug-in somehow. I've tried adding the Installer.app to the debug executable in the XCode scheme but can't seem to get the debugger to stop on my break points so I can investigate the stack, variables etc within the plug-in. If I could see this information a) might be obvious to me and if I do b) I will for certain need to be able to debug it. The Installer.app opens and prompts me to open a file but it won't let me open just the plug-in bundle, it want's me to open the Test .pkg I've made with Packages (with the plug-in installed), and even so no debugging.

Thanks

Colin Ryan
