Screenshot of the installer

The installer fails on MacOS Sierra (10.12.2). I tried 1.10.0, 1.10.1, 1.10.2, in addition to the latest installer (1.11.1). The same error message appears in the failed installer on all versions. See screenshot.

This was because installing as a user is currently not supported. We should probably just ship .dmg files instead of the .pkg installers which just tend to break in arbitrary ways.

Thanks! 

I was able to get it to work by running:

sudo installer -pkg /path/to/gstreamer-1.0-devel-1.11.1-ios-universal.pkg -target /
