I’m calling the pkgbuild command on OSX like this: NAME=Product IDENTIFIER=com.${NAME}Package pkgbuild –identifier ${IDENTIFIER}

I’m calling the pkgbuild command on OSX like this:

NAME="Product"
IDENTIFIER="com.${NAME}Package"
pkgbuild --identifier "${IDENTIFIER}" --root "${CONTENTROOT}" "Installer.pkg"

When I echo Identifier I get com.ProductPackage as you would expect.
When I run pkgbuild like that, extract the resulting .pkg file and look into the file PackageInfo it says something like:

<pkg-info overwrite-permissions="true" relocatable="false" identifier="com.${NAME}Package" ...

For some reasons all other parameter than identifier are substituted correctly.

What is going wrong here and how do I fix it?

    The only way I can think of that being possible is if you’re using single quotes in your assignment like this:

    IDENTIFIER='com.${NAME}Package'

    I notice that you mention echoing “Identifier” (note the difference in case). Is this causing you confusion?
