Description
macOS automatically inserts the __MACOSX folder when creating a zip. The __MACOSX folder is a hidden directory and is not visible to the users as default. There is a way to delete the folder using the command line, but it can be easily missed as it is not visible.
A required or warning message can help remind the Mac users to delete the hidden folder before submission.
