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.

Allow "App" to find the devices on local network?
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? Regards Prema Kumar
