is it not normal and expected that the structure file is read-only, if inside the application folder?
you can suppress the warning http://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17/DatabaseData-storage-page.300-3743476.en.html and you can configure the application to use a "default data" read-only placeholder for startup and use a read-write data file outside the package (e.g. application support) http://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17/Data-file-management-in-final-applications.300-3743577.en.html basically, on Mac, you have 2 choices: install in /Applications as read-only or install outside /Applications. of course, read-only does not mean you can never alter the contents of the app. otherwise, you won't be able to edit backup.xml which is always inside the application (for now). but the app must launch read-only on its first run. 2018/07/30 2:54、donkoff via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com<mailto:4d_tech@lists.4d.com>>のメール: When I use a zip file to transfer the app, it opens with normally, no "your structure file is in read only mode" confirm dialog. I can use a zip approach, but I a concerned that Apple will block this approach in the future. The pckg approach should be better, but it seems not to work. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
