Description

I think this will solve the Project Generator issue as you would move the whole of_release_xxx folder out of the mounted dmg to your filesystem. That would remove the translocation protection without having to do any obscure / weird steps as we currently have to do now.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first trace the current macOS and iOS release packaging process. Compare the existing zip workflow with DMG creation, then validate that the whole of_release_xxx folder can be copied out of the mounted image and that the Project Generator workaround is no longer needed.
