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.

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.

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?

We haven't had our app updated on macOS 10.11 for 2/3 years but suddenly our users are seeing a crash when the app attempts to sync. The crashlogs indicate: libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7fff9bca2000 + 93958 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7fff8c157000 + 386783 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7fff8c157000 + 155096 CFNetwork 0x7fff8bcf0000 + 932124 libdispatch.dylib 0x7fff9b6a4000 + 55613 libdispatch.dylib 0x7fff9b6a4000 + 9227 Any idea what I need to do?

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.

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.

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?

Is there an easier way to use a vibrant / blur container view in SwiftUI now other than to use a hosted UIView?

Unlike before, now the auto-completion drop down menu displays instance methods that don't apply when you're only trying to instantiate a class. It's confusing because you now have to scroll up and down to find the correct initializer. I hope this isn't the intended behavior?

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.

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.

Will new APIs in SwiftUI work on catalina / iOS 13?
