Hello, Our Production packages and executables were signed with a Developer ID installer and application certificates, that have expired yesterday. These packages were notarised but not stapled. After the certificate is expired, will the users be able to download and install the packages that were signed those certificates. (In our quick test we are able to download and install these packages but will they continue to work )

Hello, I need to monitor and take an action, when the user tries to move our application /our folder to Bin. With FSEventStreamCreate able to monitor after it is moved to Bin, but need to get notified just when 'Move to Bin' is clicked before it is actually moved to Bin.

Hello, We have an installer plugin as part of installation, which is responsible for checking few product related logic, eg: authentication etc. When certain conditions are not met installation will be aborted with an alert message and then [[NSApplication sharedApplication] terminate: self]; called on clicking "ok" on Alert. This is having issue starting with 10.15.x, that on calling terminate, Installer app is putting up a message " The "XXXX" installer encountered an error and "Install Anyway" and "Quit" and also Installer app becomes unresponsive. Any pointers on how can we avoid this alert from installer app being displayed, how to gracefully abort installation. With the current situation user is not able to click any button , but if they will be able click we need to avoid "Install anyway" since this may cause erroneous installation.

Hello, Is there a way we set header search path per architecture in Xcode build setting. eg: we are using a third party library which we are am building their source, the headers are differing when built for different architecture(arm64 and x86_64). we plan to build them seperately and create FAT file using lipo command. Now is there a way that we specify architecture specific header search path for excutable that links with these libraries. Thanks, Swetha

Hello, Application is failing to get CPU information when executing commands from an emulated app. Trying to get system information using systemprofiler SPHardwareDataType, when this is run on developer Transition kit from an emulated app, there is no cputype info available in the returned xml. When the same is executed from universal app, it has a valid value for cpu_type .(this code works on Intel based systems without any issues ) There are other dependencies to be sorted out, before our app can be made Universal. Meanwhile how can the CPU information for Apple silicon be obtained programatically from an emulated app.

Hello, We are seeing an issue with security preferences that it is has an error when trying launch security preferences to allow system extension or kext . We have tried deleting these plists ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences* ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systempreferences* ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.systempreferences* But didn't help. This is happening on beta7 on Intel systems and also on Developer Transition Kit too.

Hello, When trying to load our Audio kext, kextutil or kextload are not returning the user not approved error when trying to load the kexts. It doesn't return any error but kexts are not loaded. On prior versions of OS (starting 10.13), they returned error 27, when trying to load the kext . https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2459/_index.html We try to check for the error code and then instruct user through our own prompt with instructions on how to "Allow". Now since it is not returning any error, we are not able to capture this case. Any inputs here on how to get the error /status that kext needs user approval from these kext loading commands.

Hello, We are trying to develop an application, which is like a custom installer app, where it asks for certain user input or performs certain checks before the actual package in run. As the package needs to be run as sudo or with priviliges , (using NSTask with sudo is giving error that needs ask pass). So using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges to perform install pkg using /usr/sbin/Installer. This works . But the documentation says AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges is deprecated and also console has a message AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivilegesExternalForm are deprecated and functionality will be removed soon - please update your application What is the replacement API or approach to install a pkg from a user launched app. The deprecation Notes says Deprecated Use a launchd-launched helper tool and/or the Service Management framework for this functionality. But how to use this for installation case?
