yes / no ?

plato79 commented 3 years ago

it seems not yet..

I downloaded it, but filenames are like these:

BuildManifest.plist Info.plist InstallAssistant.pkg InstallInfo.plist MajorOSInfo.pkg UpdateBrain.zip

The build command gives this error afterwards:

That folder is missing the following required files: BaseSystem.dmg, BaseSystem.chunklist, InstallESDDmg.pkg, AppleDiagnostics.dmg, AppleDiagnostics.chunklist

@LeeBinder - gibMacOS can only get what Apple has provided in the sucatalog. AFAIK Apple has no plans for Big Sur recovery to end up there - it can only retrieve the full installer per @plato79's comment.

Plato - you do not need the BuildmacOSInstallApp.command for Big Sur - just run the InstallAssistant.pkg and it will place the Install macOS Big Sur.app in your /Applications folder.

Apple no longer provides Combo updates anymore.

@corpnewt @plato79 @chromer030 Thank you all for the info.

Hervé's comments are also insightful.

Thanks for this great tool, I was able to update to 11.2 this way after the built-in updated failed several times...

And how to do it in Windows? Is it possible to make the installer for Big Sur in Windows as it was for Catalina?

Are there any updates on that?
