Build Ye Package! Ah, the fun part! I'm not going to try to give a huge best practice diatribe on building an installer package.

In addition, if you’re deploying for previous versions of Mac OS X, you have to live with all the bugs of the previous versions of the installers in order to be able to target them. And that’s where things get really, really icky. You’ll get reports from users about your installer not working, and you will struggle to figure out just what that problem is. This article serves as (what I hope will be) the definitive guide for knowing all the pitfalls and workarounds to the atrocious bugs that exist in Apple’s older installer technology. I’ve actually had this guide semi-published for a while now, but never got around to finishing it. I’m doing so now. It’s kind of outdated what with the Mac App Store, but if you do ever need to touch PackageMaker and/or Installer, hopefully this guide will help you through the nightmare.

If you encounter this condition, sign a new (unsigned) copy of the image on MacOS Sierra or later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem: Does Gatekeeper verify my app everytime it is launched?

Thankfully a little searching on the interwebs brought me to two nifty third-party alternatives. Both are from, and both are freeware. Packages is a Freeware package building app from WhiteBox The first one I tried was. It's an older piece of software but still runs under OS X 10.8. It's a no-thrills, utilitarian and somewhat confusing application. That said, it go the job done and I've built working Cumulus install packages with it.

Even though Automator is easy, I still think creating a package would be better, though it would cost you a bit of money. More packaging options: For what you're trying to accomplish I think rolling up a installer pkg file is the best way to go. Any end user will be familiar with installing software. Signing up for Apple's developer program ($99 per year) so you can obtain a code signing certificate will also get you around Gatekeeper (prevents installation/execution of code not signed by an Apple developer.) Getting around Gatekeeper is trivial, but it's one more step your BYOD users would have to do that can be avoided with the $99 subscription and a little effort on your part to get the package signed. If you want to stick with just a shell script, curl might be a more universal way of grabbing something a file via HTTP/FTP: /usr/bin/curl -O or /usr/bin/curl -o '/tmp/filename.ppd' If you are going full BYOD, you might want to look into a management solution such as Apple Profile Manager (included with OS X server), Absolute Manage, JAMF Casper Suite, etc. For basic BYOD Macs it's hard to beat the price of Apple Profile Manager. Just get a Mac OS X server and go to it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem: How can I verify the signature of my dmg file? Solution: On MacOS Sierra and later, spctl can be used to assess a disk image's signature, like this: $ spctl -a -t open --context context:primary-signature -v MyImage.dmg /Users/me/Downloads/MyImage.dmg: accepted source=Developer ID ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem: Can I sign ISO images? Solution: No, there is no provision for signing these. Preferably, do not ship apps using ISO images. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem: Is it possible to resign a dmg that is already signed?
