- On macOS, applications are typically packaged as .app bundles, which appear as a single file to the user but contain all the necessary components to run the application.
- These are the standard and most common format for installing and launching software on macOS.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. .deb – Used for Debian-based Linux distributions (like Ubuntu), not macOS.
B. .vbs – A Windows scripting file (VBScript), not compatible with macOS.
C. .exe – A Windows executable, does not run on macOS without special tools.
On Macs, installer files usually have the extension . pkg (not to be confused with application packages, which usually have the extension . app ). Installers are executable files that you can launch by double-clicking on their icon (which may look like a little package).
A+ Directive 1.10 The wording in the question is a bit misleading but since the install process has already started it would be recognised as an .app file. Before the file is installed it would show as a .pkg file. See Professor Messor Comptia A+ 220-1102 Training Course.
The file type that a technician is most likely to use when installing new software on a macOS computer is D. .app.
An .app file is a type of file that contains a packaged application that can be installed on a macOS computer. It contains all of the necessary files and resources that are needed to run the application, and it is designed to be easy to install and use.
On the other hand, .deb is a file format used by the Debian Linux distribution to distribute and install software packages. .vbs is a file extension for VBScript files, which are scripts written in the Visual Basic Scripting language, and .exe is a file extension for executable files in Windows operating systems. These file types are not typically used for installing software on a macOS computer.
