Comment on Why is app_version sometimes empty in .ips crash reports from macOS Monterey? (is_first_party)
By "binary image" you probably mean "usedImages". Yes, those are always there. But those do not list my executable. The only other uuid I found is the "slice_uuid". I suspect that that's the executable's ID then. In fact, using "dwarfdump -u" on the file lists two IDs, one for each arch, and one of them matches the "slice_uuid". So I can use that to match my versions now. Thanks.

Comment on Constant trouble with approval of non-sandboxed "grandfathered" app for Mac App Store
I appreciate you making an effort to look into this but I rather wanted a general answer and not a single help with the immediate problem because it keeps repeating and there's no sense in me posting the same question here every time, I hope you understand that. Would you please explain why you need to know the app to help with this general question? Can you add a note for all future reviewers that'll avoid the issue in the future, for instance?

Comment on Apple macOS command line, find -iregex. Where to read about the iregex syntax: how to make a command?
I just ran into this problem: I was trying to find the old "Icon?" files, where the "?" is actually a CR, but this reveals nothing: find -E . -regex '.*/Icon\n' whereas this finds it: find -E . -regex '.*/Icon.' Even this doesn't work: find -E . -regex '.*/\x49con.' which suggest that the hex notation doesn't work at all, despite the man pages for find and re_format suggesting that they should.

Comment on How to launch background application (app bundle) and keep alive it on macOS?
I need to accomplish the same (FBA launched and kept running when my main app quits) but from a sandboxed app for the MAS. But I do NOT want to necessarily have it become a login item. When I try to use the NSWorkspace launch methods, they fail in a sandboxed app. Is setting up an XPC process the only way if I don't want to run the helper as a login item? I've done some googling about this topic but all I find are hints about SMLoginItemSetEnabled.
