Backwards compatibility of new NSSearchToolbarItem
With macOS 11 Apple has introduced a new NSToolbarItem called NSSearchToolbarItem that automatically resizes to accommodate typing when the focus switches to the toolbar item. Here Apple says this is backwards compatible with older versions of macOS: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10104 (minute 11:50) However launching my app with a NSSearchToolbarItem from interface builder on macOS 13, crashes my app with the following Application Specific Information: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException', reason: ' -[NSKeyedUnarchiver decodeObjectForKey:]: cannot decode object of class (NSSearchToolbarItem) for key (NS.objects); the class may be defined in source code or a library that is not linked' terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException Launching it on 10.15 works fine as there is a NSSearchToolbarItem. I haven't been able to test 10.14 yet. Apple says in session 10104 it is backwards compatible if you load it from a nib file. It should be replaced by a NSToolbarItem with a NSSearchField. But obviously it is not.  Any ideas?

Shortcuts Action with File parameter as input conflicts with Sandbox
Hi, I have developed a Shortcuts action for the new Shortcuts of macOS 12. I've created a custom intent and an Intents extension. My action receives one or more files as input. The file type has been set to a custom UTI com.adobe.pdf. However the files cannot be opened. I can see in the Console that Sandbox denies the access.  If I handle the intent directly in my main app with func application(_ application: NSApplication, handlerFor intent: INIntent) -> Any? I can only open files that have been opened by the main app before. If I handle the intent in an app extension I can't open any file at all. Both the main app and the extension are sandboxed with com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only set to 1. My app is singed with my valid developer ID. The example Shortcut workflow I've build simply receives PDFs as an input and is set-up to work as a Quick Action. But no matter which Shortcut configuration I choose, it does not seem to make a difference. Interestingly everything works as expected if I set com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write to 1. Of cause that only works with the Downloads folder. My question: How do I have to configure my app and/or app extension in order to work with files that have been opened in Shortcuts and given to my Shortcut action as an input parameter. Cheers and thanks for your help
