Description
Vendor information is specified by two mandatory strings in the .pkg file:
; localized vendor name(s) (corresponding to language),
; displayed during installation
%{"Vendor-EN", ...}
; non-localized (global) vendor name
:{"Unique Vendor"}
Specifically, the non-localized vendor string in the updated package must match the vendor of the package currently installed in the device.
This, in combination with signing, prevents the unauthorized upgrade of a package by someone other than the rightful vendor. If vendor strings do not match between the old and new packages, the installation will fail with an "Update error"
Solution
See detailed description.
