Pack an extension with binary executables for Mac/Linux using tar insteda of zip?

[kyle-rader-msft]

I'm running into problem shipping a custom ADO build task which wraps calling a platform specific executable. The extension bundles in it a Rust built native binary for Windowsx64, Mac (x64/arm64), and Linux x64. On mac, the agent machine doesn't have permission to run chomd +x on the binary when running as an "install" taask.

How do other install tasks handle this if the underlying extension package is using Zip, which doesn't preserve the executable bit for Linux/Mac binaries?

Hi @kyle-rader-msft, thanks for reporting.
Could you please share detailed information about how you build that binary and is this Mac related issue only?
