Mac OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" and SAV for Mac

bobcook

Apple released Mac OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" today, free for everyone with Snow Leopard or newer.

We've been testing our product with this release for many months now and had made numerous changes in version 9.0.3 (the version published about a month ago). The significant changes required were to change how we were building, codesigning, and installing our kernel extensions. You will now find two copies of our kext: one in /System/Library/Extensions and another in /Library/Extensions. This follows Apple's recommendation to support people transitioning from 10.8 to 10.9.

The kexts in /System/Library/Extensions are present for compatiblity with versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.9. Starting in "Mavericks" the location is /Library/Extensions. We are codesigning the kexts in /Library/Extensions to conform to Apple's security requirements.

If you have issues, please report them in this thread.

    Hi Charles,

    I don't know if there is a KBA about this type of problem, its the first time I've seen it happen in the "real world". Even more odd is that it should have fixed itself because the updater should flush out old / bad content automatically.

    The hint for me was the "Verification failed" message. This is a fairly generic message that gets reported whenever something in the download doesn't pass the integrity checks (we validate the authenticity of the files to avoid being spoofed into installing something not created by us). This meant that we got as far as a complete download (not a network issue) and did manage to get as far as running the verification.

    That is very far along the updating process. The only thing that could be wrong at that point is that the content itself is bad. Could have been a one-off glitch in the download, although it probably should have fixed itself. Weird. Let me know if you see it again.
