Hello:I have been trying to respond to Appstore Connect rejection notice:"It would be appropriate for the app to implement a Window menu that lists the main window so it can be reopened, or provide similar functionality in another menu item. macOS Human Interface Guidelines state that "The menu bar [a]lways contains [a] Window menu"."Currently I have an item on the status bar to Quit the application (When all windows are closed).What I can't figure out after have read tons of tutorials is How to have a menu when the applocation is close. Do I have to use Safari?Furthermore, there is the app icon on the desktop that is used to open the application.I can't figure out what they are asking for.Please Help!!!

Hello:I am using Xcode 11.3.1.I have searched far and wide on the internet and on the forums to find a way to create an .ipa file from my mac OS project. The reason is that i want to use Apple transporter to upload my build to app store connect.I have resorted to using the apple transpotrer because following the Xcode Product --> Archive --> Organizer --> Upload process ends up with a .app file on my desktopAll the suggestions I follow only create an .app file which the transporter rejects.Can anyone point me to a reference that gives a clear explanation? Most of the ones I found and tried ends up with the same .app file.Thanks.

let subjectSelected = subjectValue.stringValue
func gradeToFetch() {

print ("Group Name is \(nameGroup)")
print ("Records Selected = \(items.count)")
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Could not fetch. \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}I want the value entered (line 4) to be the value converted by the function (lines 8 - 13) in the predicate (line 21) but i am getting the value entered in the predicate. (the output below shows 2 as the converted value but the predicate uses 3)This is the log:Name Grade From Declaration is 3 // line 5Name Grade First Try is 2 // line 10

Hello:I've been studying up on How to populate an NSTableView with data from CoreData using a fetchRequest. A lot of the information I found is for Swift 3 and 4. I am using the latest Xcode Version with Swift 5.1. I've looked at the Apple Documentation, lots of tutorials, some responses in Apple CoreData Forum, and my implementation of tableViews with CoreData in my iOS app.Using what I've found, I constructed the code below to be able to display data from my CoreData store in an NSTableView (MAC OSx app).I set up the NSTableView inside of a ViewController, added the delegates, set the cell identifiers in interface builder, and setup for three columns.I think that what I've done below is too much (It absolutely can't be "not enough"). In any case , no data is displayed in the table View.I'd really appreciate some help with this.Thanks in advance. Please let me know what I don't need.import Cocoa
