I'm trying to use the Accessibility API and have this code: NSDictionary *options = @{(__bridge id) kAXTrustedCheckOptionPrompt : @YES}; BOOL accessibilityEnabled = AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions((__bridge CFDictionaryRef) options);This always returns no, however it does not prompt the user for permission nor does it display the app's name in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. What do I need to test this? I could try and add the debug version manually into System Preferences but how do I know that this will work properly when released to the public? Is there any way to test this out? I am not seeing any prompt at all.

We've been doing the following in our app for years without issues:
[[NSSound soundSystem:@"Basso"] play]
Suddenly we're seeing hundreds of crashes from macOS 14.0 users and we're not sure what's causing this. There are no memory leaks within the app and all the stack traces are around NSSound:

We've been supporting iCloud CardDAV contacting syncing for over 8 years. Never once had a problem before, but past week or so we've had numerous reports from users where they're seeing "Rate Limit Exceeded" errors coming from iCloud.
What are these limits? How can developers request for an increase (where users genuinely import hundreds of new contacts daily)? Google contacts, for instance, allows developers to apply for an increase. There seems to be nothing in relation to this in the documentation. We have no clue what these limits even are.

None of my iOS projects build any more on Xcode 14 as it complains about missing bit-code for local swift packages. The solution is to create .lproj project files for the swift packages and create xcframeworks with ENABLE_BITCODE enabled but that's no solution at all.
Project builds fine on Xcode 13 / 12./
XXXXXXX.framework/XXXXXXX' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target.
Suddenly, automatic signing has stopped working across all our apps (even on different developer IDs), we see this:Automatic Signing FialedXcode failed to provision this target. Please file a bug report at <https://feedbackassistant.apple.com> and include the Update Signing report from the Report navigator.Signing certificate "Apple Development: XXXXX (XXXXX)", serial number "XXXXX", is not valid for code signing. It may have been revoked or expired.Anyone else experiencing the same? I've tried doing everything from deleting the derived folder, to trying to reset and create new certificates to trying different versions of Xcode. Everything fails and I get a prolonged "Waiting to repair" message first and then this.

I've got a macOS app with a "Helper" (LoginItem) app that I'd like to attach the debugger to in order to debug the communication between the two.I realize hardening a target makes it impossible to attach the Xcode debugger to it, however I've created a separate entitlements file for Debug mode, turned "Enable Hardening" OFF for both Debug targets and have also added a "com.apple.security.get-task-allow" set to "YES" in the entitlement files for both debug targets. Still, I see this:macOSTaskPolicy: (com.apple.debugserver) may not get the taskport of (com.b) (pid: 4144): (com.b) is hardened, (com.b) doesn't have get-task-allow, (com.apple.debugserver) is a declared debuggerI'm unable to debug the helper and it's frustrating. How can I disable SIIP or whatever it takes to get this to work?

We've got a mac app that a VPP (Apple Volume Purchase Programme) customer wishes to purchase multiple licenses of. Currently the app is offered for free with a recurring subscription (along with a 14 day trial). They don't see an option to make a purchase in their dashboard.
I am unaware of what we need to do to make this work for them. How do VPP customers buy bulk copies of an app via an iAPP recurring subscription?

I've got a VMWare installation of 10.15. I've successfully updated my copy to macOS 11.0, however I'm now stuck on the login screen. I enter the password, I see the spinner for 30 seconds and the screen flashes and I'm back on the password screen again. The lock screen / password screen seems to be working fine but cannot login any more into my VM.
Anyone else with this issue? Any idea what I need to now do? Completely stuck at the lock screen.

I've create a custom cocoa control (subclassed NSView) that can show in two display modes: compressed, expanded . I'd like to be able to use NSUserInterfaceCompression but can find no relevant documentation or examples on how to make it behave as the built-in segment control, which collapses into a minimum-size when the window is resized.

I'm only seeing a bunch of memory addresses in Instruments for an app I'm trying to profile. This was working fine before but suddenly stopped working after I updated to 11.2.1. Instruments > File > Symbols tells me:
Permission to profile this process was denied. Applications you wish to profile must be signed with a developer code..
I have no idea what I need to do to make this work. I've tried a few things, clean builds folder, switch to Debug from Release for profile but nothing works.
Nothing within the project settings have changed recently. It runs fine and is codesigned with our development profile.

It's never been possible to detect DND in earlier versions of macOS cleanly however now that the option has become front and center and more accessible, I can't find any reference to detecting DND in the SDK changes.
Am I missing something? Users expect our apps to delay / prevent alerts (in-app custom alerts, not managed by the notification center) from disturbing them when DND is on. There should be a way to detect this using a public API so that we can keep our custom alerts in sync with the DND setting.

We have a signed, Apple notarized installer package (using our Developer ID Installer certificate) that works fine for all our users except every now and then we get complaints that the installer fails to install and shows an error:
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance
After inspecting the affected users' Console logs, we find the following just before it fails:
I have no idea what we need to do to fix this. Looks like the intermediate / root certificate on their machine is either invalid or does not exist. What should we do?

There are several new enhancements in Reminders this year (iOS 14) however nothing new in EventKit. When can we expect an updated API to be able to handle task assignment, smart lists and more?
I'm considering developing a new multi-platform app and feel SwiftUI this year has become more a lot more potent. However I'm confused between the two sets of technologies being promoted.
Should I use SwiftUI's multiplatform option to develop for three different platforms (iOS / iPadOS / macOS) so that I can use the same views more or less but give each their own personality or should I develop for iOS and iPadOS and later "Catalyst" over to macOS? I feel Catalyst is for older UIKit based apps while SwiftUI is a complete replacement for UIKit+Catalyst.
Am I correct to assume that I'll have more control over a SwiftUI multiplatform app and greater flexibility? I would still like to bundle these apps separately on the stores though, not sell them under a single price.
What should I choose?
