Xcode 12 is BIG. Its possible your hard drive is almost full, so the OS has to compress your SWAP space, which really slows things down. So check your disk free space. 500 GB SSDs are not that big.

Xcode 12 takes 28 GB installed + a place to hold the compressed app image of about 14Gb, that is 42 Gb. The compressed image can be deleted AFTER the install completes. The error message is legitimate.

Essentially this is the same as setting up a new Mac. You will need to import the certs that you had imported. I use git from the command line to download my apps' source onto the new Mac. The certs are needed so you install your app on a iOS device. For Mac apps, the certs let you upload your app to the app store. Notarized apps need certs too.

device const sphericalparams * params [[buffer(2)]] --- Metal ... xyout[index].x = params->x + params->scale * x; xy_out[index].y = params->y + params->scale * y; vs float scale, float x0, float y0 --- OpenCL xyout[i].even = x0 + scale * x; xyout[i].odd = y0 + scale * y; The compiler code optimizer most likely likes the OpenCL approach. The params -> indirection may be costly.

Based on the info you have posted, this is a LuxRays bug. The referenced file is one of their own internal source files. I am the author of Fractal Architect for Mac and iOS. I am not having any issues with my own app. In fact, it looks like Apple has fixed issues I reported back in Catalina. I have had an OpenCL app on MacOS since 2009. And yes OpenCL has been broken 5 years ago when El Capitan was released, but since then it has been robust for single GPU renders. OpenCL has been problematic for multiple GPU rendering, whereas Metal works properly. I have not yet retested the multiple GPU kernel scheduling bug in Big Sur.

I have same crash. In my case, the UIToolbar is crashing the app, laying out its internal items.Radar # FB7654080iOS 13.4 UIToolbar crashes app inside call to _layoutBar() ========This bug only occurs in iOS 13.4. It does not iOS 13.3 and earlier. Verified in Simulator.Because this bug makes the app unusable, the app has been Removed from Sale on the App store.This crash occurs when the user clicks on a Tab button to switch to a different Tab view. If that Tab view has a toolbar, with several operating modes, where its toolbar item sets have to be swapped out by viewWillAppear(), the app will crash.The crash occurs while UIKit is laying out all the subviews in the upcoming Tab view. This is all 100% Apple code. My own functions are not in the crash callback list.It is 100% repeatable, but sometimes it takes several attempts. For instance, my app has these 2 tabs (among others): File and Favorites.If the user has a document open in the Files tab and then switches back and forth to Favorites, then back to File tab, ....It takes 2 or 3 repeats of tab switching to cause the crash.It looks like UIKit is holding on to the prior count of UIToolbarItems, which does not match the "actual" number of items. And then it inserts items into an out-of-bounds index. CRASH !So the fix is simple, UIButtonBar._layoutBar() needs to check the actual upper bound index before the insertion.*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'index out of bounds for arranged subview: index = 5 expected to be less than or equal to 4'*** First throw call stack:(0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23e3dcce __exceptionPreprocess + 3501

Write an Objective C wrapper class for your C library functions.You can make the functions into Objective C class methods, if there is no resonable mappiing to object instance methods.I had a fair bit of Objective C++ code in my app and there is no wrapper support for C++.

OpenGL ES has never been supported on Mac OS. With OpenGL being deprecated, I guess Apple did not want to spend time providing runtime support for OpenGL ES on top of Mac OS.Its a big bother porting your app from OpenGL to Metal. At least they are similar in many ways conceptually.I don't know what type of app you have, but if you are using a 3rd party engine, they might have done most of the conversion for you.Otherwise, if you are not strong in Computer Graphics, this could be a real problem.

Hi there is definitely a bug in Xcode 11 where many of the builtin GUI controls display incorrectly,I found that this graphic corruption only happens when the app is debugged. If I launch the app from the Dock, the visual corruption is gone.So I have learned to ignore the corrupted appearance (or missing visual features) when debugging.

Hi, my app, Fractal Architect, has been a showcase for the immense power of Metal/OpenCL/CUDA GPU compute shadersfor the last 10 years on MacOS and the app's render engine is in use on Windows as well (OpenCL/CUDA). The app is now in Beta on iOS/iPadOS with Metal as well.So I know exactly what you are going through.Apple's infamous "Wall of Secrecy" means that I have never had an internal contact inside of Apple.I have been directly contacted by AMD, but their hands are tied with their working relationship with Apple.Oddly enough, my testing partner for Fractal Architect, is Lennart Ostman from Harnosand, Sweden. It is a small, small world.I am in the USA. I see that your company is based out of Sweden.Observations:The pattern on Mac OS is that Metal/OpenCL is stable for 2-3 years, followed by 6-9 months of driver ****. This pattern has repeated several times.Metal is far better supported on iOS/iPadOS. My app's large and very complex compute shaders ported easily to iOS 12/13.I was really surprised by how robust Metal has been on iOS.Catalina has been frankly extremely buggy. But for my app Metal on Catalina has not been problematic. I did have to workaround a couple of serious Catalina OpenCL/Metal bugs.My app also uses classic vertex and fragment shaders on both Metal and OpenGL. I am using them for both 2D and 3D model visualization.We should make contact off this forum. We might be able to help each other out.

Further update:My app gets a file access denied error only from inside a sandboxed XPC service.From the host app, no file access denied error.

An update:This weird visual corruption only happens when the app is being debugged from Xcode 11.It does not happen if you start the app from the Dock.So I was able to release my app when it was built with Xcode 11.I have just learned to ignore the visual corruption when debugging the app from Xcode.

One more thing:XPC services are a great. In the past, they worked extremely well.They were very easy to work with in Xcode. The ability to debug both sides, the host app and the XPC service, at the same time in Xcode is marvelous.In production, with my app, on High Sierra and Mojave, using the XPC service to isolate a big memory leak worked so extremely well.Please don't nerf sandboxed XPC services. It is one of the best examples of quality engineering in Apple's arsenal.If there has been architetural design change for XPC, please make sure that they have some way to share files/folders with their host apps.

I have checked the Entitlements Reference.Apparently the last revision dates back to 2017-03-27. So no design change for Catalina in all of this.The "App Sandbox in Depth" article referenced by the "Entitlements Reference": Its last revision is 2016-09-13But XPC service file access works perfectly in High Sierra and Mojave, but not in Catalina.With zero published design change, this XPC service's inability to open a URL designated by the host app in Catalinacan only be construed as a serious, devastating bug.The original implementation worked correctly. Catalina's implementation does not.
