Try additionally using setText() so that there is a "text/plain" mimetype as well. The text type will likely be the last type that gets checked, but that depends on the target. > *Distribution:* > I am distributing to the closed beta list as a zip which includes the .app > file inside.

I never had to publicly distribute mac app files. 8 years ago when I was building app files (with py2app) I was doing it for internal distribution directly as the app. pkg or dmg is probably more likely to retain the proper execution bits since their purpose is to handle installation. There are tools on osx for bundling into dmg. You could also try compressing as .tar.gz incase the issue is that a zip archive is stripping the execution bit for some users when they decompress. > > Thanks for the manifest pointer, I will try and muddle through to get the > permissions setup correctly.
