Previously, I used to have the below code to get workgroup / domain name of the active directory service provider. SCDynamicStoreRef storeRef = SCDynamicStoreCreate(NULL, (CFStringRef)@"GetWorkgroup", NULL, NULL); CFPropertyListRef global = SCDynamicStoreCopyValue (storeRef,CFSTR("State:/Network/Global/SMB")); id workgroup = [(__bridge NSDictionary *)global valueForKey:@"Workgroup"]; On few Macs (probably starting from Sonoma), the workgroup property is not set. What is the alternative to get this information programatically?

In my Swift app for MacOS, I used to set the app icon in status bar with following logic. If dark mode is enabled, white colour template icon If light mode is enabled, black colour template icon Until BigSur with this configuration, if the background wallpaper color was changed being in the same display mode, the status bar icon color used to change dynamically. From Ventura onwards, it does not depend on the background colour anymore with same configuration in the code. Can someone please help here?

For our application, we need to check whether a logged in user belongs to an active directory group or not. We use CBIdentityAuthority to check whether user belongs to domain but in one of the cases of open internet, it is occuring that CBIdentityAuthority is not able to fetch AD details. managedIdentityAuthority authorities is not identifying the AD user record respectively. Instead, the record is found under localIdentityAuthority. dscl utility on the terminal seems to be working fine though. Could this be due to cache issue or the AD service being not reachable? What could be another approach to find if an user belongs to AD?

We have an application which is codes signed and distributed out of the App Store and packaged via an installer. Since the app is brandaware and distributed through different names, the app icon has to be changed corresponding to the brand. But the brand is determined only during installation. Until now, the installer used to replace the AppIcon.icns file under the code-signed app bundle directory Example.app/Contents/Resources with the appropriate brand icon .icns file. This has no issues until Mac OS Monterey. But on Ventura Beta, when the app is opened, it pops up and error saying "the app is damaged and can't be opened". I agree that a code-signed app cannot be modified, but is there any workaround to change the app icon of the code-signed app without modifying its signature?

I build my application as an universal binary, for both arm64 and x86_64 architectures. The app is linked to frameworks like CoreFoundation and CoreData. However on building the app using Xcode 12.3, the dynamic libraries under my app directory Example.app/Contents/Frameworks are built for x86_64 architecture only, and not for arm64. On going through the build logs, I see that these libraries are copied from the location /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.0/macosx/libswiftCoreData.dylib All the libraries under this ndirectory are for x86_64 architecture only. /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.0/macosx/libswiftCoreData.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64 Does anyone know the reason for this? Is it fine to discard these libraries or build them for arm64 too? PS - The application does not seem to use these libraries, as my app runs on arm64 architecture without any hassle.
