Dear colleagues
No matter how hard I try I can’t get large files ~20Gb to be processed correctly by the productbuild At least that’s what I think.
I use —large-payload option
-
Product build actively complains with warnings about 12,0 as min version of macOS. The issue here is that in app plist 12.4 is set as min version. PRE-INSTALL REQUIREMENTS PROPERTY LIST should apparently be used for this but no possible combo of options can fix this warning. The warning have far reaching consequences. More on this later
-
All the utilities even Apple ones like Trandporter unpack the pkg absolutely wrong. When I check temporary expanded archive my 20gb file turns into 8Gb!
-
i still have to check installer way whether it unpacks correctly.
-
AppStore submission immediately rejects the pkg because lsmin key is 12.4 while package min is 12.0. The thing is I never ever used 12.0 anywhere.
so to summarize.
- Cant submit large payloads archive
- Can’t extract it either
what to do ?
Best regards
