Hello, there are popular USB GPS receivers from GlobalSat called BU-353N5. It's shipped with driver application and works well. Once connected GPS receiver is visible as a /dev/tty.PL2303G-USBtoUART120 and produces NMEA codes there. I'm a developer of an offline maps application which is available for iOS and macOS using Mac Catalyst. Is it possible to connect to the /dev/tty* from mac catalyst app? Is there an entitlement for that? There are also driver sources available to work directly with USB device based on Prolific 2303, but before I'll try to integrate driver into the app I wan't to be sure there is no way to use an existing one.

Hello. I found that my iPhone has encountered same error continuously when I tried to commission my Eve Door & Window device.

Not able to replicate this myself but have had a couple of users report this. I have a Finder Sync Extension. It does not, at least intentionally, change any sidebar icons. The hosting app mostly uses asset catalogs and the icon file it specifies in its info.plist is a icns file, not an iconset. Any idea what may be causing this? Seems odd to me that there isn't some explicit setting to enable this instead of requiring some set of configurations lining up.

I would like to replace the deprecated method FSMountServerVolumeSync with the newer one NetFSMountURLSync. I can properly mount my FTP volume using "Connect to Server" in the Finder and with FSMountServerVolumeSync (the volume comes as read only, but it's ok). When I try to mount the FTP volume with NetFSMountURLSync I get this error message: "The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name and then try again". But as I know I can't define the share on a FTP server. How can I fix this issue?

Hello, Since 2017 I provide a free and open source Remote Desktop for macOS, Windows and Linux that supports macOS 10.7 to macOS 15. Screen capture is done with CGDisplayCreateImage and works fine. But there is a problem on macOS 15 Sequoia I can not capture the screen in the pre-login context (I am referring to the login screen before the user access into his account). The screen capture in pre-login context works fine for all macOS versions except macOS 15 Sequoia. In last weeks I tried to fix the issue without success: tried CGDisplayStream tried AVCaptureScreenInput tried ScreenCaptureKit tried to sign the App (and executable) None of these work before the user login, but them works only when the user is logged in. Additional info: I run the App with "launch agent" when user is connected. I run the App with "launch daemon" when user is not connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I'm using an HMSoft Bluetooth module that connects reliably to Android devices, maintaining a stable connection. However, when I try to connect it to my iPhone 12, the connection randomly disconnects after a few minutes (usually around 3 minutes). This issue occurs even when using apps like LightBlue and other BLE-based medical equipment apps, so it doesn't seem related to my app code. Any suggestions on what I can do to prevent these unexpected disconnects? Should I change any specific settings on my iPhone or the module itself?

The VM gets a NAT IP just fine, but it doesn't have access through the proxy so I'm guessing 15.x macOS setup has a bug where it can't break out of a loop trying to phone home back to macOS. FBID: FB15689777 This is not an issue for 14.x VMs. It's also seen across different Virtualization tools.

We're creating macOS VMs on both 15.x and 14.x hosts and only the 14.x created VMs can run on both 15 and 14 hosts. If we create the VMs on 15.x, something is done by Virtualization that prevents it from running on 14.x. We've tried digging in and don't see anything that our code is doing that's special. What is Apple doing to the VMs created on 15.x hosts that's special here?

I am working on an app on which I want to develop a feature to install eSIMs. I am trying to follow the approach of installing the eSIM with the Universal Link solution by appending the activation code to the link https://esimsetup.apple.com/eSIM_QRCode_Provisioning?carddata=. I was able to successfully call the link and install the eSIM. But after installation, the user stays on the settings app. Is it possible to bring my app back to foreground after installation? Furthermore, is there a way I can listen to the installation result from my app?

I'm developing an app which supports for connect with an BLE device. There are some views for showing data from bluetooth. The code below for an example: @EnvironmentObject var bleManager: BLEManager // a class implemented CBCentralManagerDelegate var body: some View { // bleConnected is a CBPeripheral if let bleConnected = bleManager.bleConnected { if let services = bleConnected.services { ForEach(services, id:\.self) { service in // UI for print uuid, descriptions ... showServiceDescriptionView(services) if let characteristics = service.characteristics { ForEach(characteristics, id:\.self) { characteristic in // UI for print uuid, data for each characteristic showCharacteristicsDetailView(characteristic) } } } } } } } But it seems that Xcode Preview do not support connect to a real bluetooth device. So the preview window in Xcode will always be a empty view. I only can see the data on the real device. But it's important for me to design UI on the preview. So are there any method to mock a fake CBPeripheral in the Previewer? Or are there any other way to achieve this?

If I go to "System Settings" -> "General" -> "About", it says "MacBook Air" and below that "M2, 2022" How can I get these strings programatically? The following C code gets me #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/sysctl.h> int main() { static const unsigned namelen = 2; int name[namelen] = {CTL_HW, HW_PRODUCT}; char buffer[256]; size_t bufferSize = sizeof(buffer); if (0 != sysctl(name, namelen, buffer, &bufferSize, NULL, 0)) { perror("sysctl"); return 1; } printf("%s\n", buffer); } the string "Mac14,2", which is the hardware model identifier. But I want to get the user-friendly model name, e.g. "MacBook Air (13-inch, M2, 2022)". How can I do this?

Hi. I am having trouble with the issue where the media name and storage information name, which matched in MacOS 14 and earlier, are now inconsistent with the volume label and "NO NAME" in MacOS 15. The problem is that while changing the name on macos 15 will temporarily unify the names, if you overwrite them on Windows they revert to "NO NAME". At first I thought it was reflecting BS_VolLab in the boot sector, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do you have any ideas for writing a program for Windows to solve this problem?

Two days ago, the build number was 24B83, and now it's 24B2083, yet software updates don't see 24B2083 as the latest download.

Extracting an archive into the same directory on my custom filesystem more than once fails with the following message: Unable to finish expanding 'misc.tar.xz' into 'extractme'. Could not move 'misc' into destination directory. I.e. initial extraction succeeds with archive contents extracted into extractme/misc. Subsequent extraction fails to rename extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc to extractme/misc 2. This behaviour is observed on macOS Monterey and Ventura. It does work as expected on macOS Sonoma though. Dtrace(1)-ing the archive being extracted over smbfs results in the following sequence of calls being made: 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 nameiop:0 2 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 -> 2 ;ENOENT 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc nameiop:0x2 ;DELETE 2 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc -> 0 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 nameiop:0x3 ;RENAME 2 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 -> EJUSTRETURN 1 -> smbfs_vnop_rename AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc -> extractme/nil 2 <- smbfs_vnop_rename AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc -> extractme/nil -> 0 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> TheRooT/extractme/misc 2 nameiop:0 3 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> TheRooT/extractme/misc 2 -> 0 ;Successful lookup What I don't understand is what causes vnop_lookup to be called for misc to be removed from the temporary directory and renamed into 'misc 2' and placed in the destination directory, 'extractme' via vnop_rename? I had a look at smbfs_vnop_lookup and rename and didn't see anything that would cause 'misc 2' to come into being. Based on the output of the dtrace(1) script running on my custom filesystem, there are no vnop_lookup and vnop_rename calls being made to remove the 'misc' directory from the temporary directory and to rename it to 'misc 2' and place it in the destination directory at extractme. Archive extraction proceeds no further after extracting the archive contents into the temporary directory. What am I missing?

Hey, when I try to run my project on an iOS Simulator, I get the following message: JournalingSuggestions is not available when building for iOS Simulator. and Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Steps to reproduce this behavior: Create a new Xcode project Add the Journaling Suggestions Capability Add the Journaling Suggestions Framework Under "Target > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries", select “optional“ for JournalingSuggestions.framework Under "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Debug" select „Plus“ and add „iOS or iOS Simulator“ and paste this -Xlinker -weak_framework -Xlinker JournalingSuggestions into the editable field. Do the same for "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Release" This tread is about the same problem, but is already checked as answered. That's why I'm creating this new tread. The last two bullet points are results from advice from the other thread. MacBook Air, M1, 2020, macOS: 14.6.1, Xcode: 16.0 Thanks for your help!
