.. versionadded:: 3.29

The :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` variable defaults to true.

Before CMake 3.29, the :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` variable is
unset by default.  When using the :cpack_gen:`CPack productbuild Generator`,
this disables the use of the ``domains`` attribute in the productbuild
Distribution XML, and falls back to the ``auth`` attribute instead.
These attributes control where a productbuild package is allowed to be
installed.  But the ``auth`` attribute has been deprecated by Apple,
so projects should migrate to using ``domains`` instead.

CMake 3.29 and above prefer to use a default value of true for
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS`, which means ``domains`` will be used
by default unless the project explicitly sets
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` to false.
This policy provides compatibility with projects that enabled the
:cpack_gen:`CPack productbuild Generator`, but did not explicitly set
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS`.

The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to leave
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` unset if it hasn't been set.
The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to use a default value of true for
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS`.

Note that a warning will only be emitted if the
:variable:`CPACK_BINARY_PRODUCTBUILD <CPACK_BINARY_<GENNAME>>` variable is
set to true and the project is being built for an Apple platform.
