hg: openjfx/8u-dev/rt: RT-37832: [packager] Mac App Store Bundler fails to strip jfxmedia.dylib and strips Info.plist

[Danno Ferrin]

What sort of something wrong?  can you describe the failure behavior? 

Does the app completely bomb out?  The file dialog will cause the app to bomb out right now, even with the correct entitlements: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-37261 and it won’t be fixed until 8u40.

If it is some other failure, please describe it.  It does weird things wight he container and setting user.home as well.

To specify the entitlements either use the bundler argument 'mac.app-store-entitlements’ and enter the file path (build time) or add a drop-in resource named <app name>.entitlements much like you would an icon.  

This is for the top level, all other files are signed with an “inherit” sandbox that I have anecdotal evidence is better than identical entitlements.  This inherit entitlement can be overridden with an <app name>-inherit.entitlements drop-in resource.

It is like there is a permissions issue and my app for that pkg can not read or write or both to the disk. It is like my entitlements file is not being read and used for the that pkg file. I do specify my entitlements file name in my ant script. How does the packager know what the entitlement file name and location is?

I still haven’t been able to sign it in a way the ApplicationLoader won’t complain, but it is just a warning at the moment.

Looks good, but I don’t sit in or listen into those meetings.  The HG repo to keep an eye on is http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u20/rt/, and I missed the b22 build but the repo isn’t reflecting that yet.
