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 moto0000,

    Not sure I follow. We put the Remove app in the Applications directory so its easy to find, and also so you don't have to download anything else to make it work. As you've probably noticed we aren't using the Apple Installer any longer so a .pkg format won't work for us. But if you can describe your use case, maybe there is something else we should be doing to make it easier.

    P.S. SAV certificate is inactive :(

    Hmmm, which certificate are you referring to? For codesigning we use a certificate provided by Apple and it expires several years in the future from now. Ditto for our own certificates that are used to validate product update downloads.
