Description

When I build a DMG on my macbook (Monterey, 12.3.1, xcode 13), the background image works.

If I build it on a [GitLab runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/saas/macos_saas_runner.html) (macos-12-xcode-14), the background image is not visible after opening the DMG.

The hidden `.background` folder is there and the background image is inside this hidden folder. It's not visible when the DMG is opened though. I saw some other issues posted here that mentioned issues with spaces in the title. Removing spaces made no difference.

Research direction

Reproduce the DMG build on the macos-12-xcode-14 GitLab runner and compare it with Monterey 12.3.1 using Xcode 13. Inspect the generated DMG and its hidden .background folder, including the background image. Done means the image is visible when the DMG is opened in the runner environment.
