I have a Utility app that does not have a Dock icon and runs in the menu bar. On macOS Sonoma (14 DB 1) you cannot use anymore the workaround that we used on previous versions of the macOS, as you get a warning that you should use SettingsLink.
NSApp.sendAction(Selector(("showSettingsWindow:")), to: nil, from: nil)
But the issue is, that before I usually were calling as well NSApp.activate(ignoringOtherApps: true) to activate the app. As clicking on the MenuBar app icon does not do that.
The SettingsLink only opens the Settings Scene, but does not actually activates the app. I could not find a workaround how to do so. As I cannot inject my code in SettingsLink call.
Any ideas how I can activate my app when SettingsLink is called?

This code worked before for me on Beta 2.
Now I get the exception
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: !stayUp || CLClientIsBackgroundable(internal->fClient) || _CFMZEnabled()'
I do call requestAlwaysAuthorization() if the authorizationStatus != authorizedAlways (and I have tried with authorizedWhenInUse).
I start the collection like that
locationManager.activityType = .airborne
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation
locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
And I have a delegate attached to the location manager to collect the data.
I have enabled Background Modes for location updates, and have in info information about the Privacy - Location ... for various options
My guess the issue is that the iOS app is com.example.MyApp and the bundle id for the watchOS app is com.example.MyApp.watchkitapp, so WeatherKit works perfectly on the iOS app after registering bundleID and request WeatherKit service.
But it does not work on watchOS, giving me 401 errors. I assume it is because of the bundleID, but maybe something else.

Curious, is it possible to run a python.py script from the application (App Sandbox) with the foundation.Process - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/process?
Or the only way is to include the python distribution under my App, somewhere in Framework or Helpers?
Hello,
I am trying to build an automatic reverse proxy for the development experience. Basically all developers are limited to running several web applications on various port on localhost, like localhost:8000 and localhost:9000. My idea is simple, trying to map http://app1.dev.local to localhost:8000 and http://app2.dev.local to localhost:9000. It could be easily achieved with a few records in /etc/hosts
0.0.1 app1.dev.local
0.0.1 app2.dev.local
And installed haproxy/nginx on port 80 that will redirect the traffic based on the Host header.
But my idea is to use the Network Extensions to do the same. To use more native experience.
I have tried to use NETransparentProxyManager with NETunnelProviderProtocol and NEAppProxyProvider in system network extension.
In the app I have
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;NETransparentProxyManager.loadAllFromPreferences { (managers, loadError) in
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;...
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;if self.manager == nil {
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.logger.log("creating NETransparentProxyManager")
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;let config = NETunnelProviderProtocol()
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;config.providerBundleIdentifier = "app.loshadki.DevVPN.systemextension"
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;config.serverAddress = "DevVPN"
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;config.disconnectOnSleep = false
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.manager = NETransparentProxyManager()
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.manager!.localizedDescription = "DevVPN"
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.manager!.isEnabled = true
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.manager!.protocolConfiguration = config
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;} else {
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.logger.log("NETransparentProxyManager DevVPN already exists")
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;}
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;self.manager!.saveToPreferences(completionHandler: { (saveError) in
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;...
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;do {
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;try self.manager?.connection.startVPNTunnel(options: ["mode": "localOnly" as NSObject])
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;} catch {
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;...
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;}
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;})
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;}
&#9;&#9;}
And in the system network extension
class AppProxyProvider: NEAppProxyProvider {
&#9;&#9;override func startProxy(options: [String : Any]?, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) {
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;...
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;let proxySettings = NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings(tunnelRemoteAddress: "127.0.0.1")
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;proxySettings.includedNetworkRules = [
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;NENetworkRule(destinationNetwork: NWHostEndpoint(hostname: hostnameIP, port: "80"), prefix: 32, protocol: .any),
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;NENetworkRule(destinationHost: NWHostEndpoint(hostname: "app1.dev.local", port: "80"), protocol: .any),
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;NENetworkRule(destinationHost: NWHostEndpoint(hostname: "app2.dev.local", port: "80"), protocol: .any)
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;]
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;setTunnelNetworkSettings(proxySettings) { error in
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;...
&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;}
&#9;&#9;}
&#9;&#9;...
}
That actually does what I want, but only for Safari. If I try to use curl or Chrome, those two ignore the VPN and fail to resolve the DNS.
If I use curl directly on IP address, that works. So host based NENetworkRule do not work on curl or Chrome.
I have tried also to switch to NEAppProxyProviderManager instead, which has NEAppRule, and it also includes matchDomains, but when I specify those: (a) for Chome as an example matchDomains does not work, I am getting all traffic (b) for Safari and curl I cannot catch the traffic with
NEAppRule(signingIdentifier: "com.apple.Safari", designatedRequirement: "identifier \"com.apple.Safari\" and anchor apple")
So I am curious, is it possible with the network extensions to achieve what I want? If yes, what kind of Manager should I use and Provider?
