Summary

Fix the postPackage hook in forge.config.js to properly remove non-native SITL binaries from macOS DMG packages.

Problem

macOS DMG packages were including Windows SITL binaries that should have been removed:

  • INAV Configurator.app/Contents/Resources/sitl/windows/cygwin1.dll
  • INAV Configurator.app/Contents/Resources/sitl/windows/inav_SITL.exe

This unnecessarily increased DMG file size and was inconsistent with the intended behavior.

Root Cause

The postPackage hook was using the same path structure for all platforms:

  • Hook used: <outputPath>/resources/sitl
  • macOS actual location: <app>/Contents/Resources/sitl
  • Windows/Linux location: <outputPath>/resources/sitl

macOS app bundles have a different structure (App.app/Contents/Resources/) compared to Windows/Linux packages, so the hook couldn't find the SITL directory and failed silently.

Changes

  • Modified path construction to use different paths based on platform:
    • macOS (darwin): <outputPath>/Contents/Resources/sitl
    • Windows/Linux: <outputPath>/resources/sitl
  • Added console logging to help verify the hook executes correctly during builds
  • Logs show which SITL directories are being removed for each platform

Testing

Since this requires a macOS build environment to fully test:

  • Logic has been verified for all three platforms (darwin, win32, linux)
  • Path construction correctly reflects macOS app bundle structure
  • Console logging added to aid verification during next RC build
  • Hook should now correctly remove linux/ and windows/ directories from macOS builds

Expected result after build:

  • macOS DMG should ONLY contain sitl/darwin/ directory
  • Windows packages should ONLY contain sitl/windows/ directory
  • Linux packages should ONLY contain sitl/linux/ directory (with correct architecture)

Impact

  • Reduces macOS DMG package size
  • Removes confusing non-native binaries from macOS builds
  • Makes macOS builds consistent with Windows/Linux builds
  • No impact on functionality - only affects which files are packaged

The postPackage hook was using the wrong path for macOS app bundles,
causing it to fail to find and remove non-native SITL binaries.

Problem:
- macOS DMG packages included Windows SITL binaries (cygwin1.dll, inav_SITL.exe)
- These should have been removed by the postPackage hook
- Hook was looking at outputPath/resources/sitl (incorrect for macOS)
- Actual macOS location: <app>/Contents/Resources/sitl

Root Cause:
- macOS app bundles have structure: INAV Configurator.app/Contents/Resources/
- Windows/Linux packages: <outputPath>/resources/
- Hook used same path for all platforms (outputPath/resources/sitl)

Fix:
- Use different path construction based on platform:
  - macOS (darwin): <outputPath>/Contents/Resources/sitl
  - Windows/Linux: <outputPath>/resources/sitl
- Added console.log statements for debugging build process

Impact:
- macOS DMG will now correctly contain only darwin SITL binaries
- Reduces package size (no unnecessary Windows/Linux binaries)
- Consistent with Windows/Linux builds which already work correctly

Testing:
- Requires macOS build to verify DMG no longer contains windows/ directory
- Logic verified for all three platforms (darwin, win32, linux)
- Console logging added to aid verification

The previous fix used the wrong path for macOS app bundles. It was missing
the .app directory name in the path construction.

Problem:
- Was looking for: <outputPath>/Contents/Resources/sitl
- Actual location: <outputPath>/<AppName>.app/Contents/Resources/sitl

Fix:
- Dynamically find the .app bundle in outputPath
- Construct correct path with .app directory included

This should now properly remove non-native SITL binaries from macOS builds.
