Bug: Not working for a packaged application macos

[alistairsykes]

This seems to create the plist file in ~Library/LaunchAgents fine when running in development with :composeApp:run. But if I package my app via :composeApp:createDistributable it fails to create the file silently.

Am I missing a permission somewhere or is there an issue with this library?

Thanks for making this library, really appreciate the effort

Hi @alistairsykes! Thanks for creating this issue.

I tried to reproduce your behavior with the sample by running :sample:createDistributable but it works as expected:

• the file is created: ~Library/LaunchAgents/com.autolaunch.sample.plist
• if I restart the mac, it launches the app as expected

You can check here the implementation of the sample.

If it is still not working for you, can you share a project to easily reproduce your problem? 🙏

I think a notable difference between the sample and my codebase is that I have signed my distributable following the instructions here. So I'm guessing that something about signing means that my application doesn't have permission to write to that directory.

🤔 Hum interesting, thanks for reporting that. I'll investigate.
