@bdash I presume it’s a security restriction when the target is in a bundle but don’t fully understand. Maybe @dnanian can explain.

@mjtsai @bdash It's no longer legal to create a hard link into an app bundle due to some vulnerability...

@dnanian @bdash Can you create them first and then make the bundle structure around them?

@mjtsai @bdash I don't think so - as I recall, when I researched this last year, it didn't work.

@dnanian @bdash I wonder how Archive Utility does it when it expands Xcode.xip…

@mjtsai Probably a special Apple-only signed-app entitlement (like getting around SIP and setting the boot volume).

@dnanian OK, so make a .xip, tell the Apple utility to expand it, and then move it to the desired location. :-)
