Hi, On macOS Sonoma and earlier versions, I used my script along with a LaunchDaemon to continuously record my screen. However, after upgrading to macOS Sequoia, the LaunchDaemon no longer works for screen recording. It only works when I use a LaunchAgent. For my workflow, using a LaunchDaemon and running the ffmpeg process as root is much more efficient than running it as a regular user. Does anyone know how to run a script in the background using a LaunchDaemon on macOS Sequoia? Here are my LaunchDaemon plist and script: LaunchDaemon plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>local.ScreenRecord</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>Nice</key> <integer>-20</integer> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/bin/bash</string> <string>/usr/local/distrib/record.bash</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Script ## !!!

With iPadOS 18, the UITabBar now defaults to the floating style. I successfully reverted the tab bar to its traditional style by overriding the UITabBarController's horizontalSizeClass property: self.tabBarController?.traitOverrides.horizontalSizeClass = .unspecified When I launch the app on my Mac using Apple Silicon, TWO tab bars appear: One appears at the bottom of the screen, like a traditional tab bar. The second tab bar is still embedded in the app toolbar in its floating style. Is this a bug? How do you ensure that overriding the horizontalSizeClass will remove/hide the floating tab bar when running an app on Apple Silicon? TIA! (Demonstrated on a test project)

Hi, I’m able to view the activity log using the macOS application integrated with Endpoint Security Entitlement in Xcode by setting Debug Process As: root. However, after archiving the application into a .app using a Developer ID Application certificate and sending it to my friend, they encountered the error ES_NEW_CLIENT_RESULT_ERR_NOT_PRIVILEGED during client initialization when running the application. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Specifically, what is the correct technical approach to make the application run as root? Thanks

hi all. I’m working on a content filter system extension on MacOS. I try to disable the filtering in system settings, and it will cause smb shared folder connection interrupted. what I do in stopFilterWithReason:completionHandler: is waiting for the connection that is being filtered be allowed, then invoked the completionHandler. did I do something wrong here? is there a way to avoid the connection interruption?

I'm encountering a segmentation fault when using np.matmul with relatively small arrays on macOS 15.2. The issue only occurs in specific scenarios and results in a crash with the following error: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000110 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Full error log: Gist link The crash consistently occurs on a specific line where np.matmul is called, despite similar np.matmul operations succeeding earlier in the same script. The issue cannot be reproduced in a separate script that contains identical operations. When I build the NumPy wheel using OpenBLAS, this issue no longer arises, which leads me to believe that it is related to a problem with Accelerate.

I made a macOS document-based app that has a second scene that's a Window. It's name appears in the single window list of the Windows menu, but has no assigned shortcut. I've tried the following to assign a shortcut to it, but it doesn't add a "⌘L" as I want: Window("Logs", id: "logs") { LogsView() } .keyboardShortcut("l") I can brute-force this using .commands to replace the menu item but that seems crude and unnecessary. Is it the only way?

Hi, I detect dark mode on macOS like following: NSAppearance *appearance = NSApp.mainWindow.effectiveAppearance; NSString *interface_style = appearance.name; NSAppearanceName basicAppearance = [appearance bestMatchFromAppearancesWithNames:@[ NSAppearanceNameAqua, NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua ]]; if([basicAppearance isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua]){ theme = "Adwaita:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; } if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua]){ theme = "Adwaita:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameVibrantDark]){ theme = "Adwaita:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameAccessibilityHighContrastAqua]){ theme = "HighContrast"; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameAccessibilityHighContrastDarkAqua]){ theme = "HighContrast:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameAccessibilityHighContrastVibrantDark]){ theme = "HighContrast:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; } But this doesn't work if my window is in background. As the application window is put into background, it loses dark mode. Howto fix it? regards, Joël

Working on a MacOS SwiftUI app - recently, when the app stays running from the night before, it no longer responds to keystrokes - data entry, or cursor navigation keys. It does respond to mouse activity and clicks ... very weird.

When trying to use asr for restore my system disk ("/"), I'm getting a "resource busy error" It's a very laconic message, that says very little about how solve or work around the issue. I'm attaching the screenshot of the error. Any help on how to troubleshoot this error would be highly appreciated Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm developing a system where an application running in a VM communicates with the host operating system's components using vsock sockets (VZVirtioSocketDevice in Virtualization.framework). Both systems are running macOS. There may be multiple guests, and the existing implementation for other OSes relies on VM's CID to differentiate them. In macOS, getting the CID from inside the guest VM is straightforward—it is returned by IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID. However, in macOS the regular vsock API is not available on the host side, replaced by Virtualization.framework. I could not find anything in the Virtualization.framework's documentation that could be used to query (or set?) the CID for the specific virtual machine instance (which is certainly possible on other platforms utilizing Virtio drivers, e.g. Linux/QEMU). Am I overlooking something?

I have a share extension in my app, that shall allow users to send CSV files, custom app files, and selected text to my app via the share sheet for importing that data. So, the share extension should activate when the user has selected either: CSV or plain text files Custom UTI app files Text selected in other apps The supported file types have been defined in as a predicate query according to the example in the docs This works all fine on iOS, and the file sharing also works on the Mac. However, on macOS, my app is not shown as a target in the share sheet when the user selects text in other apps and tries to share that text via the context menu. Does macOS need a different configuration to enable a share extension for selected text? This is how my Info.plist of the Mac share extension looks like: ... <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>NSExtension</key> <dict> <key>NSExtensionAttributes</key> <dict> <key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key> <string>SUBQUERY ( extensionItems, $extensionItem, SUBQUERY ( $extensionItem.attachments, $attachment, ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.plain-text" || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.myCompany.myApp.customFormat" || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.delimited-values-text" ).@count == $extensionItem.attachments.@count ).@count &gt;= 1</string> </dict> ... </dict> </plist> I know there is a NSExtensionActivationSupportsText but it seems this cannot be combined with a subquery rule. Is there a way to explicitly enable text activation within the subquery rule?

I have read the other most relevant posts on this topic here and here. However, the situations described in these posts are different. My app is just a regular Mach-O bundle with a single executable that is launched by the user from the Finder. I've read the Local Network Privacy FAQ and TN3179 carefully and these also doesn't cover the problem described below, which is being reported to me by several of my users. The problem is that some days after giving Local Network permission to my app, without having changed anything, local network connections will spontaneously start failing with EHOSTUNREACH, indicating that it is being blocked by macOS. This typically happens after a Mac reboot. Toggling off/on the Local Network permission for my app will get it working again, until the next time it fails. My users who are reporting this have stated that they are running macOS Sonoma 15.2, with only a single version/copy of my app installed. I've tried, and failed, to reproduce this in a VM with a clean 15.2 system, but maybe this is due to the relatively short duration of my testing (days rather than weeks). I know there isn't much to go on here, and it may be tempting to put this down to misreporting. After all, the vast majority of my users aren't reporting this, and I can't reproduce it. But, I have received enough similar reports at this point that it's starting to feel like a macOS bug. Is anyone else seeing this? If there is anything that anyone can suggest - either modifications in my app, or anything that my users can do on their side - this would be very much appreciated! Many thanks, Ben

I understand this is a known issue, but it’s truly unacceptable that it remains unresolved. Allowing users to customize toolbars is a fundamental macOS feature, and it has been broken since the release of macOS 15. How is it possible that this issue persists even in macOS 15.3 beta (24D5040f)?

In new window, click on "Toggle Item" """) } .padding() Button { showEditItem.toggle() } label: { Text("Toggle Item") } } .padding() .toolbar(id: "main") { ToolbarItem(id: "new") { Button { } label: { Text("New…") } } if showEditItem { ToolbarItem(id: "edit") { Button { } label: { Text("Edit…") } } } } } }

Reading text out of PDFs with PDFKit results in some text being returned way out of order when using .string or .attributedString functions. Way out of order means not just wrong sorting of words on a line or wrongly showing up on the next line (as has happened with PDFKit on older iOS releases, e.g. 17.x), but some text (one or more words) may show up near the end of a page of text, while it should show near the beginning. As Page.characterBounds(at:) is buggy in iOS 18.x returns wrong bounds, devs cannot correct such faulty PDFKit behaviour programmatically. I believe it is on Apple to fix this iOS 18 bug asap. Thank you for giving it priority as this is killing apps that need PDFKit to get and parse text data out of PDFs. I have filed Feedback FB16264926.

I am trying to discover how to display my application’s calculated Solar Information values in a chart. My application identifies a selected location in MapKit. The application identifies the location’s longitude, latitude, and current time of day. The application calculates the selected location’s NOAA [SOLAR ELEVATION], and the [SOLAR AZIMUTH] for the time of day. The application calculates the data, then stores the calculated values as a [Plist] file within my application’s Document Directory. For the moment, complete with repeated scouring of the Internet, I am not sure how to properly convert, transfer, or create a Structure, required by the chart to display the calculated values. I would like to create the chart once the calculations are complete, but I introduced a Plist to store the calculations for future use, too. The calculated values coincide with the NOAA Solar Calculations, complete to the displayed [h : m : s], whereas I also designed the application to create the [Array of Dictionary Objects] to store the calculated values for each subsequent six minute interval, until the end of the selected location’s day. The calculated values are properly appended to the [Array of Dictionary Objects] after each completed calculation, with data transfer constants. There are 240 calculations per day from [00:06:00 to 23:54:00], presented as a [STRING], complete with the [Elevation] presented as a [DOUBLE]. For example :: The application generates the following [Calculated Array of Dictionary Objects], then recreates, and appends a new Plist in the Document Directory. mySolarElevationDataArrayOfDictionaries :: [(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:06:00", theCalculatedElevation: -62.60301082991259), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:12:00", theCalculatedElevation: -62.94818095051292), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:18:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.245198186807215), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:24:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.49236786176319), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:30:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.688223890934175), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:36:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.831564163806945), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:42:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.921486675739004), (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:48:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.95741610687708), to the end of the data :: ===&gt; (theRequiredTimeOfDay: "23:54:00", theCalculatedElevation: -60.69355458181633)] The application presents the initial data as follows :: Then presents a compass view to illustrate the results :: I modified the Chart’s [MOCK DATA] from the calculated values to test the Chart’s display in a [SwiftUI Hosting Controller]. For example :: The following Chart Mock Data in a [HourlySunElevation_MockChartData.swift] file is called by the application’s [Content View]. import Foundation struct Value { let theRequiredTimeOfDay: String let theCalculatedElevation: Double static func theSunElevationMockData() -&gt; [Value] { return [Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:06:00", theCalculatedElevation: -62.60301082991259), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:12:00", theCalculatedElevation: -62.94818095051292), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:18:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.245198186807215), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:24:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.49236786176319), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:30:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.688223890934175), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:36:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.831564163806945), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:42:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.921486675739004), Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:48:00", theCalculatedElevation: -63.95741610687708), to the end of the data :: ===&gt; Value(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "23:54:00", theCalculatedElevation: -60.69355458181633)] The Chart illustrates the Mock Data as follows :: I also created a Struct within the [MySunElevationChart_ViewController] to try to append the calculated data, using the same logic with the Plist data transfer constants, as employed by the [Array of Dictionary Objects] :: struct ChartSolarElevationValues { var theRequiredTimeOfDay: String var theCalculatedElevation: Double // Structs have an implicit [init]. This is here for reference. init(theRequiredTimeOfDay: String, theCalculatedElevation: Double) { self.theRequiredTimeOfDay = theRequiredTimeOfDay self.theCalculatedElevation = theCalculatedElevation //mySolarElevationChartData.append(self) } // End of [init(theRequiredTimeOfDay: String, theCalculatedElevation: Double)] } // End of [struct ChartSolarElevationValues] Unfortunately, the result did not append each subsequent calculation, but continued to create the same calculation as a new distinct object :: NOTE :: I only called three calculations with the Struct test. // NOTE :: To prevent an [ERROR] at [var mySolarElevationChartData = [ChartSolarElevationValues]] since it has an init. // Therefore you must add () at the end of [var mySolarElevationChartData = [ChartSolarElevationValues]] let theData = [ChartSolarElevationValues]() //print("theData :: \(theData)\n") let someData = ChartSolarElevationValues(theRequiredTimeOfDay: TheTimeForDaySunElevation.theTheTimeForDaySunElevation, theCalculatedElevation:VerifyCityLocationSearchRequestCorrectedSolarElevation.theVerifyCityLocationSearchRequestCorrectedSolarElevation) var theData_New = theData theData_New.append(someData) print("theData_New :: \(theData_New)\n") // Prints :: theData_New :: [My_Map.ChartSolarElevationValues(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:06:00", theCalculatedElevation: -61.11000735370401)]] // Prints :: [theData_New :: [My_Map.ChartSolarElevationValues(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:12:00", theCalculatedElevation: -61.315092082911875)]] // Prints :: [theData_New :: [My_Map.ChartSolarElevationValues(theRequiredTimeOfDay: "00:18:00", theCalculatedElevation: -61.47403413313205)]] So, I am misintepreting the required coding structure to properly append the Elevation Chart, and the Azimuth Chart with the calculated data. I know something is amiss, but for the moment, I do not know how to address this issue. Your suggestions would be welcome ... :] jim_k

I have the same problem as this question: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757605 "That indicates you’re using a unique App ID prefix. This is a legacy feature that’s not supported on macOS." Mine is a macOS App distributed in 2021, that now needs an update. It has always been under Xcode automatically managed signing with a Team. (Still have the project files from 2021: automatic) Now validating a new version gives me that error : Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.*** [***.pkg/Payload/***.app] is invalid. [Invalid 'com.apple.application-identifier' entitlement value.] For more information, visit the macOS Developer Portal. (ID: ***) And even re-validating the old archive from 2021 gives me this error. I have looked at my Apple Id's on "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles", and I can indeed see that this app has an "App ID Prefix" that is not my Team, but something I don't recognise. I can not make a new App ID Configuration for the bundle id I have been using: "An App ID with Identifier 'com..appname' is not available. Please enter a different string." Removing the existing App ID Config does not work either: The App ID '.com..' appears to be in use by the App Store, so it can not be removed at this time. So, I'm a bit stuck. (Help!)

I'm trying to implement a 3 column NavigationSplitView in SwiftUI on macOS - very similar to Apple's own NavigationCookbook sample app - with the slight addition of multiple sections in the sidebar similar to how the Apple Music App has multiple sections in the sidebar. Note: This was easily possible using the deprecated NavigationLink(tag, selection, destination) API The most obvious approach is to simply do something like: NavigationSplitView(sidebar: { List { Section("Section1") { List(section1, selection: $selectedItem1) { item in NavigationLink(item.label, value: item) } } Section("Section2") { List(section2, selection: $selectedItem2) { item in NavigationLink(item.label, value: item) } } } }, content: { Text("Content View") }, detail: { Text("Detail View") }) But unfortunately, this doesn't work - it doesn't seem to properly iterate over all of the items in each List(data, selection: $selected) or the view is strangely cropped - it only shows 1 item. However if the 1 item is selected, then the appropriate bindable selection value is updated. See image below: If you instead use ForEach for enumerating the data, that does seem to work, however when you use ForEach, you loose the ability to track the selection offered by the List API, as there is no longer a bindable selection propery in the NavigationLink API. NavigationSplitView(sidebar: { List { Section("Section1") { ForEach(section1) { item in NavigationLink(item.label, value: item) } } Section("Section2") { ForEach(section2) { item in NavigationLink(item.label, value: item) } } } }, content: { Text("Content View") }, detail: { Text("Detail View") }) We no longer know when a sidebar selection has occurred. See image below: Obviously Apple is not going to comment on the expected lifespan of the now deprecated API - but I am having a hard time switching to the new NavigationLink with a broken sidebar implementation.
