Recently, the company purchased 20 M1 iMacs for software development and the IDE request Rosetta 2.
But these iMacs are not allowed to connect to the external network.
So i hope to receive the RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg for offline install.

Thanks!
 
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve by posting this on a hobbyist forums that have no affiliation with Apple. It seems to me you should contact Apple Developer relations team directly and ask for official support.
 
I am trying various methods to obtain RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg.
Contacting Apple is also one of the methods I am trying.
But I don't want to wait, so I also try to ask for help in the forum.

There are plenty of guides if you search for RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg. e.g. https://tinyapps.org/blog/202103270700_backup_rosetta2.html


Download and install Rosetta 2:
% softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Find path to installer:
% grep RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg /var/log/install.log

Copy installer for safekeeping:
% cp /path/to/RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg /path/to/backup/dir/

I know that this method allows an ARM iMac connected to the Internet to get RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg
The difficulty is that these iMac of the company are "not allowed" to connect to the Internet.

They don't have to! You can copy it to a usb-key and pass it around to the machines without internet.
 
I backed up my 3 versions of offline Rosetta installers - so can confirm this can be done.
Each is only 450-460kb in size.
However - what you are asking is distributing Apple's proprietary app - and I am pretty sure that cannot be done on this forum.
Suggest you do find the M1 Mac that can connect to the internet - and backup Rosetta using the method described above.
