OSX Packages Permissions / Monterey

[DanH]

Since upgrading from Mojave to Monterey a couple of weeks ago my app permissions have been really doing my head in. OSX often asks me to grant permissions for apps even if I've done it before....

Anyway, I'm now attempting to run some packages projects I'd made previously which ran fine but it's now complaining that I don't have permission to create some files in 'Application Support' - I assume it means on the system drive.

I've granted full disk access to packages and attaching a certificate to the packages project. Is there anything else I can try?

@DanH I had the same issue, I wanted the installer to install the plugins in the System/Audio/Plug-Ins folder but I was not allowed to do that, I solved it by placing the plugins there in my system and then loaded them into the packages project, it worked.
I guess you have the same permission issues, so try to load them from your Application Support folder and see if it works

@ulrik well this is fun! :man_facepalming:

Thanks for the tip, seemed to work for those files and is now complaining about each one in turn so I guess perhaps they all need to be in the folder they're destined for.... Will report back

@ulrik Ok this worked like you said, I had to put the files I wanted in my package in their destined locations of my hard drive and link from there. I put my license / readme files in the packages project folder and it built.

Thanks for the help, and thanks Apple!
