Hi Kevin,
well, removing libjfxwebkit.dylib from dmg files would definitely break
our application, as we heavily rely on WebView.
Our application is not distributed via Mac App Store, but as a download
from our website.
I think removing libjfxwebkit.dylib from the dmg should be an opt-in for
users, that want to upload their application to the Mac App Store.

Yes, this is correct. We consider this only a short term workaround
for the problem. A longer term solution will be needed that will allow
distributing WebView applications.
Chris: is there a way to override this behavior?

Just in order to better understand this issue and the fix. Does this
mean that the packager
will now ALWAYS delete the libjfxwebkit.dylib when building a DMG
file? That would mean
that I could not bundle and distribute any application anymore for
the Mac which uses
a WebView. Have you considered the fact that many people do bundle
their apps but
have their own distribution channels and do not upload the apps to
the Apple store.
There should at least be some switch to override this behavior.
Just my 2+1/2 cents.

The fix that was put into 8u72-b02 is that the packager will no
longer include libjfxwebkit.dylib in the packaged app. Is this not
working correctly?

Hi,
We are facing to an issue with latest Java updates when we try to
release apps into Apple app store. I have described the issue
here, with
all my findings:
http://ondrej-kvasnovsky.blogspot.com/2015/10/java-8-update-60-is-causing-apps-that.html
In short, the issue is that we are not able to release Java app
into app
store since 1.8_60 because it uses private API (see the link above if
you want to know how to verify that).
I spoke about this issue with Martijn Verburg and he pointed me to
these
two issues:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138650 - fixed for 8u72
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138652 - permanent fix
for 9
(replace private libs with public ones)
I have downloaded that jdk1.8.0_72 b05 JDK and run (downloaded from
https://jdk8.java.net/download.html):
otool -L
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_72.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/libjfxwebkit.dylib
| grep icu
/usr/lib/libicucore.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 51.1.0)
And it the issue is still there, Build b05 still references
private API.
I could even try to build and app and try to publish it for code
review
by Apple... but since there is this reference, I do not believe it is
going to be successful.
Since this issue https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138650 is
considered to be fixed, but it seems it is not, could someone help
with
that?
Best wishes,
Ondrej Kvasnovsky
