Apple Event timed out..

I have tried 2-3 times this dmg I need to share with someone and all the time I bump on this:

hdiutil: resize: completed successfully Mounting disk image... Device name: /dev/disk7 Searching for mounted interstitial disk image using /dev/disk7s... Mount dir: /Volumes/dmg.ke2T6f Copying background file 'easyred2_1324780.jpg'... Running AppleScript to make Finder stuff pretty: /usr/bin/osascript "/var/folders/57/69z69th12597j72xkrz7cn0w0000gn/T/createdmg.tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.F0nuhm1U" "dmg.ke2T6f" /var/folders/57/69z69th12597j72xkrz7cn0w0000gn/T/createdmg.tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.F0nuhm1U:395:407: execution error: Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out. (-1712) Failed running AppleScript Unmounting disk image... "disk7" ejected.

Could it be cause of the size of the app which is 12.5GB?

Thanks in advance for looking at this!

Okay, this time seems it was permissions.. Full Disk Access.

You might want to update the script someday to include this on first run or something checking this with if/error etc.

We need to get the bundle Identifier first, for an app it would be like:
mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -r /Applications/Safari.app[/code] It will give you something like: com.apple.Safari%`

To give Safari Full Disk Access now you need to add it with tccutl

tccutil reset All com.apple.Safari

Replace /Applications/Safari.app with the create-dmg path
like so mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -r /usr/local/Cellar/create-dmg/1.2.1./bin/create-dmg

This will suddenly give (null)%

But if you get it from the path and drag and drop it to the System Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access panel it will be added

Doing the above, keeps the Apple Event from timeout.

Again thanks so much for making this tool. Hopefully that update will help others that using it on latest Apple systems. :)

Alternative solution via Terminal (doesn't work on Big Sur, which I am testing it right now)

sudo sqlite3 "/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db"

INSERT INTO access (service, client, client_type, allowed, prompt_count) VALUES ('kTCCServiceSystemPolicyAllFiles', '/usr/local/bin/create-dmg', 0, 1, 1);
