Menu works fine in iPad and Mac Catalyst but crashed on Apple Silicon

Question

Hi,

I have an iPad app that has menus, like:

CommandGroup(replacing: .help) { Button("Help") { showHelp = true } .keyboardShortcut("/") }

They works fine in iPad and also if compiled to Mac Catalyst, but will crash on Apple Silicon Mac when selected the menu items with errors like:

[General] -[_UIEditMenuInteractionMenuController propertyList]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600000190540

I did not use storyboard and only use SwiftUI. Any suggestions?

Note: of course the best solution is to compile to Mac Catalyst, but the app has some other issues when run in Mac Catalyst. So I can only release it as iPad app.

Hi limtc! Did you solved this problem somehow? I still get a crash on Mac Silicon and Xcode Version 14.3 beta (14E5197f). Any hint would be very welcome. Thanks!

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem and tried a lot of combinations to get something basic working; without luck. Always the "unrecognized selector" for all commands I define myself, independent of the integration command (after/replace/add new menus). Standard menu items are not crashing. And it doesn't make a difference between keyboard shortcuts or selecting the menu with the mouse.

Would be great if you post something when you get it solved; I will do the same!

I have the same problem and after wasting a lot of time, it turns out the keyboardShortcut modifier appears to be bjorked when running using the "My Mac (Designed for iPad)" option.

To get around it, I created the following View extension:

extension View {
    @ViewBuilder func keyboardShortcutHack(_ key: KeyEquivalent, modifiers: EventModifiers) -> some View {
        &#x2F;* #if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst) and os(macOS) don&#039;t work when running using the "My Mac (Designed for iPad)" *&#x2F;
        if ProcessInfo.processInfo.isiOSAppOnMac {
            self
        }
        else {
            self.keyboardShortcut(key, modifiers: modifiers)
        }
    }
}

I did file this via the Feedback Assistant with Apple.

Yes, this is working for me. Because of the lack of usable debug info in Xcode this was really hard to find out, even when the solution looks quite simple. Thank you for sharing it with us!
