when i unzip t a bunch of .so files come up under auburn sounds the mac and windows folders empty
User 3 (refunded)
Last year I tried downloading the free edition, but only the manual and cheet.sheet appeared on
my IMAC.
Yesterday, I purchased the full version and paid a bit extra.
When I tried to download some of the versions, I got the same problem as before.
User 1 had to unzip outside "Downloads"
This is an issue that probably existed in a transient moment in Apple history
User 3 is on "Monterey" (no version given), say didn't see the Mac installer.
Workaround would be to maybe put the .pkg in a DMG in a ZIP? Or simply, wait that the issue disappear at Cupertino.
- is everything notarized and pass mustard in the actual ZIP vs the .pkg only? Maybe something to code sign again? => I don't think so, Audio Damage puts a notarized in a .app in a ZIP in a ZIP with ZIP made by other systems, so the ZIP itself isn't any more codesigned/notarized than our own ZIP.
- Voxengo: distributing codesigned (and notarized?) DMG just for macOS.
- TDR: distributing single unnotarized pkg in unsigned unnotarized ZIP.
- Need FAQ entry in Auburn Sounds, since it seems the problem fixed itself in Apple os. There isn't that much support issues for this. Real fix would be to do a tool that creates a DMG I guess.
