macOS .pkg: "Installer quit unexpectedly."

Open cowtoolz opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

Getting "Installer quit unexpectedly." when running any of the macOS .pkgs (arm64 and x86), even on previous versions. From the terminal:

$ installer -pkg akvirtualcamera-mac-9.1.3-arm64.pkg -target ./test

assertion failed [thread_starts_interval.has_value()]: __thread_starts section missing
(RebaseRuntimeMachO.cpp:191 rebase_image)
 [1]    67737 abort      installer -pkg akvirtualcamera-mac-9.1.3-arm64.pkg -target ./test

Which MacOs version do you use? This error seem to be related to MacOs trying to run Rosetta in the installer, and using MacOs 15.

My idea is to package the virtual camera using makeself, then the installer will compile the virtual camera in the user system automatically, to avoid code signing, is the same approach I'm taking with Webcamoid. Also, I should rewrite the virtual camera since Apple changed the API.
