@mjtsai Does anybody outside of Apple’s Xcode distribute .their apps in xip format? I never saw it before Xcode 8.

@jacobgorban Not that I’m aware of, but perhaps that will change.

@mjtsai @jacobgorban Xcode 8 was the first time I saw it. The only difference is it is signed?
Most apps aren’t even signed!

@ObjColumnist@jacobgorban Difference compared with what? -
@mjtsai@jacobgorban just a standard zip -
@ObjColumnist@jacobgorban Functionally, signing is the main difference with .zip. Technically, it’s a different format based on .xar. -
@mjtsai@ObjColumnist But if the application inside the .zip is signed, why also sign the package it’s in (.xip)? I don’t see the value. -
@mjtsai@jacobgorban@ObjColumnist Do you know if .xip files are subject to Gatekeeper Path Randomization? - View other replies

@milend@jacobgorban@ObjColumnist My conclusion is that for Sierra if you don’t want to use .dmg you should probably use .xip. - View other replies

@mjtsai@jacobgorban@ObjColumnist I believe xip is also backwards compatible a few releases, right? - Show more
