Hi,During my software Installation process, four services and two plug-ins are launched to finish the installation task.When I install my software in macOS 10.14 and lower, installation time is very less, but when I install my software on macOS 10.15 beta installation process takes long time to finish it.Below is Installation summary on macOS 10.9:Installer[1684]: Finalize disk "Macintosh HD"Installer[1684]: Notifying system of updated componentsInstaller[1684]: **** Summary Information ****Installer[1684]: Operation Elapsed timeInstaller[1684]: -----------------------------Installer[1684]: disk 0.04 secondsInstaller[1684]: script 0.06 secondsInstaller[1684]: zero 0.03 secondsInstaller[1684]: install 43.73 secondsInstaller[1684]: -total- 43.87 secondsBelow is Installation summary on macOS 10.15 beta:Installer[610]: Finalize disk “Catalina HD"Installer[610]: Notifying system of updated componentsInstaller[610]:Installer[610]: **** Summary Information ****Installer[610]: Operation Elapsed timeInstaller[610]: -----------------------------Installer[610]: disk 0.01 secondsInstaller[610]: script 0.00 secondsInstaller[610]: zero 0.00 secondsInstaller[610]: install 450.79 secondsInstaller[610]: -total- 450.80 secondsOn Activity Monitor it seems that process launched during installation takes too much time to launch on macOS 10.15. Why does this happen?Can you please guide how to increase the performance of installation on macOS 10.15 beta?Note: my Installer (.pkg) file is Notarized.Thanks in advance !

Hello,Please refer my Installer Plugin code as belowIn sub class of ‘InstallerPane’:- (void)awakeFromNib { BOOL boInstallSuccess; InstallerSection * tInstallerSection; boInstallSuccess = [[tInstallerSection installerState] installSucceeded]; if (NO == boInstallSuccess) { [self gotoNextPane]; } else { // Do other task } }In above code install state of InstallerSection always returns false value.And my plugin goes into hangs state at line#10 .This issue found with macOS catalina 10.15 beta only.Is there any changes done related to Installer Plugins ?Please guide how to get Installer success state ?Thanks in advance !

Hi,I have macOS 10.14.5 (18F132) installed and having three different builds of my product as below :Case 1. Kernel extensions signed on macOS 10.9.5 in Oct 2018 (with —timestamp=none) These extensions were loaded successfully on macOS 10.14.5.Case 2. Kernel extensions signed on macOS 10.9.5 in Feb 2019 (with —timestamp=none) These extensions were unable to load on macOS 10.14.5.Case 3. Kernel extensions signed on macOS 10.13.6 in June 2019 (with —timestamp) These extensions are notarized using Apple notary service and loads successfully on macOS 10.14.5My query is :As per macOS 14.5 release notes : Kernel extension signed after Apr 7, 2019 has to be notarized in order to load on macOS 10.14.5 but in above mentioned case#2 extension signed in Feb 2019 is unable to load.If we consider this due to missing timestamp, then how come in case#1 kernel extension is loaded successfully?Somewhere our observations do not match the release notes of macOS 10.14.5, but we are unable to understand the reason behind it.

Hello,Recently I have notarized my product with Apple Notary Service, which contains unsigned kernel extensions. My product was successfully approved by Notary Service. But previously it was not approved if my product contains unsigned kernel extensions.So can I notarize my product without code signing my kexts for future release of MacOS X ?Thanks
