Zero-byte .PKG macOS Installer Package

Download a zero-byte .PKG file, or one of about 1 KB, for QA. Neither file is a real document.

About this Zero-byte .PKG file

What you get

empty.pkg is 0 bytes. 1kb.pkg is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the macOS Installer Package name.

The same extension is also used for a Symbian package. This download is an empty macOS-style .PKG name for extension checks.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .PKG file. Use the empty file for a zero-length check, and the 1 KB file for a small non-empty upload. The download names stay empty.pkg and 1kb.pkg.
