Indesign 21.0.2 packaging not compatible on macOS 26 Tahoe
Indesign 21.0.2 packaging fails on machines updated to macOS 26 Tahoe.
When a file is packaged an error message is returned, indicating an error when copying links.
This error does not appear when the same file is packaged on a system using an older mac OS. (Sonoma 14.6.1)Our team has checked all linked files for corrupt files, errors in naming, missing links - there are none of these errors across our files.
This is a recurring error for any Indesign version 21.02.2 and older on machines updated to macOS 26 Tahoe. We have tried various files on various computers, recieving the same error each time.

I've seen this and it could be a permissions issue, which happens with each OS upgrade. Where are the links located and did you give permission for InDesign to access those folders? Check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files & Folders. Or grant InDesign full disk access.
