In Mail or Safari, user can select text to bring up the edit menu.. When sharing the text selection to Reminders using Share Extension, Reminders App's share extension is able to identify the "source" and show the app icon linking back to the original web page or email. (Please check attached screenshots) In my own Share Extension, how do I get, say, an URL object linking to the sharing source? I've looked at NSExtentionContext, NSExtensionItem and NSItemProvider documentation. It doesn't look like there's a public interface to retrieve that info. Do u guys have any suggestion? Thanks Bill

I am following the tutorial - Setting Up Core Data with CloudKit - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/mirroring_a_core_data_store_with_cloudkit/setting_up_core_data_with_cloudkit. It mentions about "Manage Multiple Stores" - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/mirroring_a_core_data_store_with_cloudkit/setting_up_core_data_with_cloudkit#3193724 which suggests us to split our data model into multiple configurations - one for local, one for CloudKit sync. Question... if my configuration "Local" and "Cloud" both contain the same entity "Quake", how can I tell Core Data which configuration I want my "Quake" managed object to save to? For now, my solution is... I have a "LocalQuake" and a "CloudQuake" entity both sharing the same parent. Each one belongs to a configuration ("Local" and "Cloud" respectively). Is that what you are doing in your project as well? Thanks B

Hey everyone!I am trying to distribute a VPN app (for testing) using Developer ID.When I run the notorized version, I get into the following error (from Console):nesessionmanager Found 0 (0 active) registrations for com.blahblahnetwork.BlahBlahMac.BlahBlahTunnelSystemExtension (com.apple.networkextension.packet-tunnel)I followed the step outlined here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/125508#402187 to setup my network extension as system extension.I've also set the NEMachServiceName to $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.blahblahnetwork.BlahBlahMac.BlahBlahTunnelSystemExtension.Do you guys have some idea why the system appears not able to find my system extension bundle?Attached at the end are my Console output and the entitlements of the app and system extension.Hope to heard your thoughts!

I think I run into issue similar to the one discussed in this thread: Core Spotlight does not work on macOSIn my case, I am using Core Data integration with Core Spotlight.I think I have the managed object indexed correctly. Searching using CSSearchQuery in the app returns the indexed result. Deleting index using CSSearchableIndex.deleteAllSearchableItems also works.But when I search for the same keywords from macOS Spotrligh window, it never list out the object from my app.An example of the CSSearchableItemAttributeSet look like (object dump from my NSCoreDataCoreSpotlightDelegate subclass):▿ Optional<CSSearchableItemAttributeSet> - some : { kMDItemContentType = "public.text"; kMDItemDisplayName = "Sit vel et ut."; kMDItemTextContent = "Est eos adipisci id. Fuga voluptate ratione voluptatem. Ut consequatur ea velit."; kMDItemTitle = "Sit vel et ut."; }It does feel like Spotlight never look up my app's spotlight index.Can you folks share how you get the issue resolved? Is it because I am signing the app with development certificate (and provisioning profile)? Will the problem go away if I use the distribution identity to sign the code?ThanksBill
