InstallBuilder needs to create 64 bit installer applications on macOS

[the_jinx]

InstallBuilder creates 32-bit installer applications for macOS. 

In future version of macOS, 32-bit applications will not be allowed to run anymore. 

With macOS 10.13.4 Beta 1, we're already seeing warning messages when running our installers. 

Soon, there will be an urgent need for InstallBuilder's ability to create 64-bit installer applications.

Is there a timeline available for that important feature?

Hi Dirk,

Our current estimation is that it will be added within the next month.

That's great, thank you!

I will confirm as soon as the new IB is available.

Does this also apply to the uninstaller application that gets created by the installation application?

Currently, the uninstaller application is 32-bit only as well.

Hi Dirk,

Yes, this would also apply to the uninstaller.

How can I specify a 64-bit installer? I'm facing the problem articulated by this thread. My MacOS installers are being built as 32-bit. Need them to be 64-bit to appease the High Sierra gods. Not clear how to make the change.,

Please advise. Thanks.
