Hi,
We use Flat package installers (.pkg based installers) to install our applications on macOS. In macOS 26.1, installation is failing with the error
Unable to use PK session due to incompatible packages. Terminating. 2025-11-03 14:22:36+05:30 Admin-3 installer[1160]: Install failed: The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install.
Same installer package is working on macOS 26.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am using Installer JS in Distrtibution file which is created using productbuild command. I am trying to read the installed version of app from the plist file present in the /var/db/receipts folder. It gives the following warning. If I enable the flag , notarization will fail.
FJS: Package Authoring Error: access to path "/var/db/receipts/com.xxx.xxx.plist" requires
Following is the function I have used to read the installed version.
system.files.plistAtPath()
I have also tried the following function to read the version from .app file.
system.files.bundleAtPath
Both the functions give the warning.
Is there are a way to avoid this warning or a better way to read the installed version?

Hi,
On macOS 15 beta 7, we get a network popup while launching application, "Allow "App" to find the devices on local network?" This popup we are not seeing in older versions of macOS. We also see a a new option in "System Settings->Privacy & Security->Local Network". Is there way to add the application entry in "Local Network" through a command so that we can suppress this popup on launching the applications?

Hi,
I have a package which is signed and notarized. Still I get the warning message to "Allow/Deny" the "Accept incoming network connections" when I launch the application. I could see that the application is present in the firewall exceptions list. Please find the attached screen shots.
