In this UIKit app, I have to display numbers (from 1 to 100), in a label., on several lines, with 8 numbers on each line. Order is computed by the app for a specific purpose. The numbers are separated by space. Label font is Helvetica Neue 15.0. I want to get them aligned vertically. So, I have a padding so that they are all the same length of 4. Problem: the space have smaller width (half in fact) than digits, so alignment is disrupted: Of course, I can use fixed width fonts (like Menlo), but I've not found one that fits (the zero is barred, which is not looking great in the app). I have tried using class func monospacedDigitSystemFont( ofSize fontSize: CGFloat, weight: UIFont.Weight ) -> UIFont and apply to label.text. To no avail as it modifies only digits, not space char. I have found a workaround, padding with 2 spaces instead of one, but is there another solution ? So I am looking for a space character that would have the same width as a digit. There existe thin space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character) but not larger space. Does it exist ?

Since recently (maybe after updating to Sonoma 14.7.1 - 23H222, but not sure, I get a crash report stating that SafariBookmarksSyncAgent quitted unexpectedly Once acquitted the report, it will reappear 2 minutes later as long as Xcode is open. Configuration: Sonoma 14.7.1 Safari Technology Preview Release 208 (Safari 18.2, WebKit 19621.1.5.1) Xcode 15.3 (15E204a) That seems to be a known problem. Question: Is it due to MacOS version ? To Xcode version ? To Safari version ? To webKit version ? Or to simulator, as I gat an AegirPoster crash (as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77083912/macbook-pro-crashes-when-using-simulator-aegirposter-process) I read that I would need to restart some devices (eg, iPhone). That seems to temporarily solve the problem Here is a part of the report: Incident Identifier: 0D2456DF-5801-41D6-8294-2BF442224913 CrashReporter Key: 4DE33529-174E-32C5-D8A8-26FE128BE16B Hardware Model: Mac14,12 Process: SafariBookmarksSyncAgent [38972] Path: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/SafariSupport.bundle/SafariBookmarksSyncAgent Identifier: com.apple.SafariBookmarksSyncAgent Version: 8614 (8614.1.25.0.17) Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Unspecified Parent Process: launchd_sim [28070] Coalition: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice.0058D576-D9FF-4169-8437-D0A24C923500 [9832] Responsible Process: SimulatorTrampoline [1116] Date/Time: 2024-11-27 15:19:42.4908 +0100 Launch Time: 2024-11-27 15:19:42.4610 +0100 OS Version: macOS 14.7.1 (23H222) Release Type: User Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000204476580 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000204476580 VM Region Info: 0x204476580 is not in any region.

There are at the moment a lot of spams for a bank phone number. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769506 What is really surprising is to read App Store Connect Engineer answer, each time the same: We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities Is it an automatic answer (I cannot believe anyone who read the post did not notice it was a spam) ? If so, couldn't it simply detect it is a spam (Apple Intelligence could come to help) and delete the message (or the account) ? PS: it would also be a spam in Apple Support Communities PS2: I note the message has been deleted very rapidly.

Capability to read and write ofd HFS disks on Mac has been removed since a long time. Capability to simply read was also removed since Catalina I think. That is surprising and sometimes frustrating. I still use a 90's MacBook for a few tasks and need from time to time to transfer files to newer Mac or read some old files stored on 3.5" disks. Solution I use is to read the disk on an old Mac with MacOS 10.6 (I'm lucky enough to have kept one) and transfer to USB stick or airdrop… As there is no USB port on the Macbook of course (and I have no more a working 56k modem to transfer by mail), only option if not 3,5" disk is using PCMCIA port on the MacBook for writing to an SD Card to be read in Mac Sonoma. But reading directly 3.5" disk would be great. Hence my questions for the forum: how hard would it be to write such a driver for READING only HFS on Mac Sonoma? There are some software like FuseHFS. Did anyone experience it ? Did anyone have a look at the source code (said to be open source). does anyone know why Apple removed such capability (I thought it was a tiny piece of code compared to the GB of present MacOS)? Thanks for any insights on the matter.

To change the background of a TextField, I simply apply: TextField("0.0", value: $p, format: .number) .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle()) .background(.red) That does only work with plain style, but it works. Trying something similar on a button changes the container view background. The only solution I've found is to overlap with a Rectangle. How is it ? A SwiftUI bug ? A current limit of Swift ? A rationale for it ? There a better solution I've not found ?

In this app, I set the preferredColorScheme in main @main struct TheApp: App { @AppStorage("isDarkMode") private var isDarkMode = false var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .preferredColorScheme(isDarkMode ? .dark : .light) } } } isDarkMode is changed dynamically in code. When code is compiled with Xcode 15.3, the background of ContentView changes from light to dark or vice versa. When compiled with Xcode 16, no more change. However, direct changes to objects do work, such as: TextField("N", value: $t, format: .number) .frame(width: 40) .background(isDarkMode ? .gray : .white) What has changed in Xcode 16 ? Is it documented somewhere ? I saw this SO thread which describe similar problem. https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/upkprg/preferredcolorscheme_toggle_not_working/

This app may run on MacOS or iOS. I want to use windowResizability modifier (specially In MacOS) which is only available on masOS 13+ and iOS 17+, but still need to run on macOS 12 or iOS 15… So I need something like #if os(macOS) if #available(macOS 13 *) { use windowResizability #else do not use windowResizability #endif #else // iOS if #available(iOS 17 *) { use windowResizability #else do not use windowResizability #endif Here is the code where to apply (in @main) struct TheApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() // 1.11.2023 .frame( minWidth: 1200, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 600, maxHeight: .infinity) } .windowResizability(.contentSize) // BTW: is that really necessary ? } } How can I achieve this ? Do I need to write a WindowGroup extension for the modifier ? If so, how ? BTW: is windowResizability really necessary ? App seems to work the same without it.

I create a UIKit PullDown menu (in a positionMenu button), with the following code: func setupPullDownMenu() { let menu1 = UIAction(title: "Menu1") { [self] _ in // some code } let menu2 = UIAction(title: "Menu2") { [self] _ in // some code } let menu3 = UIAction(title: "Menu3") { [self] _ in // some code } let menu = UIMenu(title: "Positions", children: [menu1, menu2, menu3]) positionMenu.menu = menu positionMenu.showsMenuAsPrimaryAction = true }   In Portrait, options are listed as Menu1, Menu2, Menu3 But in Landscape it is the reverse: Menu3, Menu2, Menu1 I use Xcode 16.1ß and iOS 17.0 simulator Is it the expected behaviour ?

Is it only me ? I received recently a notification that an answer was "recommended by Apple", with a link to the post. But when going to the post, this recommendation (with small Apple icon) do not show. And the forum scores are not updated. This is not the first time I get problems with forum notifications. I filed a bug report: FB14172207

Since 2 hours (1:20 GMT July 18), I keep receiving the exact same message from iTunesStore every 5 minutes (30 received so far, with metronome regularity): Your banking information was accepted Thank you for providing the requested details for xxxxxx associated with your banking update in App Store Connect.

I've recently seen answers to posts that are apparently automatically generated but signed as App Store Connect Engineer. In several cases the answer is misinterpreting the OP. Here is an example: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758391 The OP was really a developer question. Not related to a consumer feature. Is it really an automatic answer (which would be a bad trend for the forums IMHO)?

I see this message for the first time: It is inserted in the OP (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757852) but the link leads to nowhere (just the general page of the forum). In … what ?!? So I wonder what is the meaning of the message, its intent and use ? Or is it just a forum bug ? PS: surprisingly, this post appears in Forums general page (https://developer.apple.com/forums/latest), but not in forums feedback (https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/forums-feedback) PS2: it appears, but after all the pinned messages which are older. Really confusing… I posted a bug report on this: Jun 23, 2024 at 9:29 PM – FB14024970

The UI of the forum is profoundly changed. For what benefit ? It seems forum is more and more painful to use at each major revamp. Is it only me who cannot see the improvements ?

I prepare an app to migrate from ObservableObject to Observable, from EnvironmentObject to Environment(MyClass.self) and so so forth. That works OK, very simple. But, that forces to run on macOS 14 or more recent. So I would like to have it conditionally, such as: if macOS 14 available @Environment(ActiveConfiguration.self) var activeConfiguration: ActiveConfiguration otherwise @EnvironmentObject var activeConfiguration: ActiveConfiguration The same for the class declaration: if macOS 14 available @Observable class ActiveConfiguration { var config = Configuration() } otherwise class ActiveConfiguration : ObservableObject { @Published var config = Configuration() } Is there a way to achieve this (I understand it is not possible through extensions of Macros, as we can do for modifiers) ? Could I define 2 classes for ActiveConfiguration, but then what about @Environment ?

I had this code working properly in Xcode 17.0.1, with macOS target as 12.4 struct SyntheseView: View { @AppStorage("isDarkMode") var isDarkMode = false // more declarations ……… var body: some View { VStack { ZStack { // code ………………… } .frame(width: 500, height: 300) .background(isDarkMode ? Color(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 120/255) : Color(red: 1, green: 1, blue: 186/255)) } // VStack In Xcode 15.3, I get the error The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions If I comment out the background modifier, no issue. I converted all parameters in Color to Double without success If I replace by a fixed color as .background(.blue) No error. Even the simple .background(Color(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.5)) causes the error. But: .background(isDarkMode ? .blue : .red) does work. I tried to define the Colors as static color extensions to no avail. Another bizarre point is that a similar pattern works OK for another View. Did something change in Xcode 17.3 ?
