We created a DMG package for Scene Builder [1] using jpackage in JDK 25.
After installing the app, we found that with the recent changes [2]
introduced in jpackage,
it no longer adds the default entitlements to the macOS builds. As a
result, SceneBuilder.app crashes during startup.
We even tried adding explicit entitlements using `--mac-entitlements`,
but to no avail.
This is likely to be the issue [1]. I believe it is not JDK 25-specific,
though; it should affect all versions of jpackage starting from JDK 17.
Can you try a jpackage from jdk21 or jdk17 to prove me wrong?
Furthermore, we discovered that the `--mac-package-signing-prefix`
flag now requires the prefix to end with a `.`,
which wasn’t the case earlier.
The prefix value should end with a `.`. See [2]. Prior to jdk25 jpackage
didn't validate the value of the prefix.
