I'm getting Thread 5: EXC_RESOURCE (RESOURCE_TYPE_MEMORY: high watermark memory limit exceeded) (limit=6 MB) My thumbnails do render (and they require more than 6mb to do so), so I wonder about the behavior here. Does the OS try to render thumbnails with a very low memory limit and then retry if that fails?

Adding an inspector and toolbar to Xcode's app template, I have: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .toolbar { Text("test") } .inspector(isPresented: .constant(true)) { Text("this is a test") } } } In the preview canvas, this renders as I would expect: However when running the app: Am I missing something? (Relevant wwdc video is wwdc2023-10161. I couldn't add that as a tag)

Anyone have a sense of what could cause this? Running on iOS 17.0.2. This seems to be a regression in iOS 17.

I received a rejection for "Your app spawns processes that continue running after the user has quit the app." The process in question is the app's Thumbnail extension. When I remove all of my own code from the thumbnail extension, it still continues to run after I exit my app. This is the entirety of the extension's code, which now renders blank thumbnails: import QuickLookThumbnailing class ThumbnailProvider: QLThumbnailProvider { override init() { } override func provideThumbnail(for request: QLFileThumbnailRequest, _ handler: @escaping (QLThumbnailReply?, Error?) -> Void) { let reply = QLThumbnailReply(contextSize: request.maximumSize) { (context: CGContext) -> Bool in return true } handler(reply, nil) } } Presumably Thumbnail extensions continue to run so that Finder (among others) can generate thumbnails as necessary. AFAIK, I have no direct control over the extension's lifecycle. Is this just App Review's mistake? The "Next Steps" are clueless: "You can resolve this by leaving this option unchecked by default, providing the user the option to turn it on." The app uses its own thumbnail extension to render thumbnails for document templates, which may be an uncommon thing.

I'm trying to implement de-noising of AO in my app, using the MPSDynamicScene example as a guide: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metalperformanceshaders/animating_and_denoising_a_raytraced_scene In that example, it computes motion vectors in UV coordinates, resulting in very small values: // Compute motion vectors if (uniforms.frameIndex > 0) { // Map current pixel location to 0..1 float2 uv = in.position.xy / float2(uniforms.width, uniforms.height); // Unproject the position from the previous frame then transform it from // NDC space to 0..1 float2 prevUV = in.prevPosition.xy / in.prevPosition.w * float2(0.5f, -0.5f) + 0.5f; // Next, remove the jittering which was applied for antialiasing from both // sets of coordinates uv -= uniforms.jitter; prevUV -= prevUniforms.jitter; // Then the motion vector is simply the difference between the two motionVector = uv - prevUV; } Yet the documentation for MPSSVGF seems to indicate the offsets should be expressed in texels: The motion vector texture must be at least a two channel texture representing how many texels * each texel in the source image(s) have moved since the previous frame. The remaining channels * will be ignored if present. This texture may be nil, in which case the motion vector is assumed * to be zero, which is suitable for static images. Is this a mistake in the example code? Asking because doing something similarly in my own app leaves AO trails, which would indicate the motion vector texture values are too small in magnitude. I don't really see trails in the example, even when I speed up the animation, but that could be due to the example being monochrome. Update: If I multiply the uv offsets by the size of the texture, I get a bad result. Which seems to indicate the header is misleading and they are in fact in uv coordinates. So perhaps the trails I'm seeing in my app are for some other reason. I also wonder who is actually using this API other than me? I would think most game engines are doing their own thing. Perhaps some of apple's own code uses it.

I've got a scene which renders as I expect: but in the acceleration structure inspector, the kraken primitive doesn't render: In the list on the left, the structure is there. As expected, there is just one bounding-box primitive as a lot happens in the intersection function (doing it this way since I've already built my own octree and it takes too long to rebuild BVHs for dynamic geometry) This is just based on the SimplePathTracer example. The signatures of the sphereIntersectionFunction and octreeIntersectionFunction aren't that different: [[intersection(bounding_box, triangle_data, instancing)]] BoundingBoxIntersection sphereIntersectionFunction(// Ray parameters passed to the ray intersector below float3 origin [[origin]], float3 direction [[direction]], float minDistance [[min_distance]], float maxDistance [[max_distance]], // Information about the primitive. unsigned int primitiveIndex [[primitive_id]], unsigned int geometryIndex [[geometry_intersection_function_table_offset]], // Custom resources bound to the intersection function table. device void *resources [[buffer(0), function_constant(useResourcesBuffer)]] #if SUPPORTS_METAL_3 ,const device Sphere* perPrimitiveData [[primitive_data]] #endif ,ray_data IntersectionPayload& payload [[payload]]) { vs. [[intersection(bounding_box, triangle_data, instancing)]] BoundingBoxIntersection octreeIntersectionFunction(// Ray parameters passed to the ray intersector below float3 origin [[origin]], float3 direction [[direction]], float minDistance [[min_distance]], float maxDistance [[max_distance]], // Information about the primitive. unsigned int primitiveIndex [[primitive_id]], unsigned int geometryIndex [[geometry_intersection_function_table_offset]], // Custom resources bound to the intersection function table. device void *resources [[buffer(0)]], const device BlockInfo* perPrimitiveData [[primitive_data]], ray_data IntersectionPayload& payload [[payload]]) Note: running 15.0 beta 5 (15A5209g) since even the unmodified SimplePathTracer example project will hang the acceleration structure viewer on Xcode 14. Update: Replacing the octreeIntersectionFunction's code with just a hard-coded sphere does render. Perhaps the viewer imposes a time (or instruction count) limit on intersection functions so as to not hang the GPU?

In Platforms State of the Union, there was a reference to "Custom Gestures" in SwiftUI, among new features. I didn't see anything about it in What's New with SwiftUI. Did I miss it? Anyone have more info?

I have an app (currently for sale on the Mac App Store) which is a programming environment for audio processing (DSP node graph). I would like it to be able to export apps that are ready to be uploaded to the App Store or Mac App Store (including Audio Unit extensions). Can I code sign from within my Mac App Store app? (Seems I can use Process to invoke codesign. Otherwise perhaps I could add the source for codesign to my app.. it seems to be open source) Is this whole process too hard for a solo developer to take on? What resources should I look at? thanks!

I'm extending an AudioUnit to generate multi-channel output, and trying to write a unit test using AVAudioEngine. My test installs a tap on the AVAudioNode's output bus and ensures the output is not silence. This works for stereo. I've currently got: auto avEngine = [[AVAudioEngine alloc] init]; [avEngine attachNode:avAudioUnit]; auto format = [[AVAudioFormat alloc] initStandardFormatWithSampleRate:44100. channels:channelCount]; [avEngine connect:avAudioUnit to:avEngine.mainMixerNode format:format]; where avAudioUnit is my AU. So it seems I need to do more than simply setting the channel count for the format when connecting, because after this code, [avAudioUnit outputFormatForBus:0].channelCount is still 2. Printing the graph yields: AVAudioEngineGraph 0x600001e0a200: initialized = 1, running = 1, number of nodes = 3 ******** output chain ******** node 0x600000c09a80 {'auou' 'ahal' 'appl'}, 'I' inputs = 1 (bus0, en1) <- (bus0) 0x600000c09e00, {'aumx' 'mcmx' 'appl'}, [ 2 ch, 44100 Hz, 'lpcm' (0x00000029) 32-bit little-endian float, deinterleaved] node 0x600000c09e00 {'aumx' 'mcmx' 'appl'}, 'I' inputs = 1 (bus0, en1) <- (bus0) 0x600000c14300, {'augn' 'brnz' 'brnz'}, [ 2 ch, 44100 Hz, 'lpcm' (0x00000029) 32-bit little-endian float, deinterleaved] outputs = 1 (bus0, en1) -> (bus0) 0x600000c09a80, {'auou' 'ahal' 'appl'}, [ 2 ch, 44100 Hz, 'lpcm' (0x00000029) 32-bit little-endian float, deinterleaved] node 0x600000c14300 {'augn' 'brnz' 'brnz'}, 'I' outputs = 1 (bus0, en1) -> (bus0) 0x600000c09e00, {'aumx' 'mcmx' 'appl'}, [ 2 ch, 44100 Hz, 'lpcm' (0x00000029) 32-bit little-endian float, deinterleaved] So AVAudioEngine just silently ignores whatever channel counts I pass to it. If I do: auto numHardwareOutputChannels = [avEngine.outputNode outputFormatForBus:0].channelCount; NSLog(@"hardware output channels %d\n", numHardwareOutputChannels); I get 30, because I have an audio interface connected. So I would think AVAudioEngine would support this. I've also tried setting the format explicitly on the connection between the mainMixerNode and the outputNode to no avail.

I'm getting the following error on Intel Iris integrated graphics. Code works well on newer Mac GPUs as well as Apple GPUs. Execution of the command buffer was aborted due to an error during execution. Invalid Resource (00000009:kIOAccelCommandBufferCallbackErrorInvalidResource) The error is for a compute command, not a draw command. The constant isn't in the documentation. All buffers and textures seem to be created successfully. I've also checked that the GPU supports the required threadgroup size for the compute pipeline. thanks!

How should an App Extension (in this case an Audio Unit Extension) determine if an IAP has been purchased in the containing app? (and related: can an IAP be purchased from within the extension?) On macOS, I suppose I could share the receipt file with the extension? and on iOS, suppose I could write some data to shared UserDefaults in an app group. Is there any official guidance on this? thanks!

I have on the order of 50k small meshes (~64 vertices), all different connectivity, some subset of which change each frame (generated by a compute kernel). Can I render those in a performant way with Metal? I'm assuming 50k separate draw calls would be too slow. I have a few ideas: encode those draw calls on the GPU or lay out the meshes linearly in blocks, with some maximum size, and use a single draw call, but wasting vertex shader threads on the blocks that aren't full or use another kernel to combine the little meshes into a big mesh thanks!
