When following this guide https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/embedding-a-helper-tool-in-a-sandboxed-app I cannot run the embedded binary. I'm getting this error: "zsh: trace trap" I would like to be able to use the embedded binary for NativeMessaging with for example Chrome but I can't figure out how to allow it to be executable even with sandboxing enabled. How are Strongbox able to do this with their afproxy executable?

Hi all, I am working on macOS 14.4.1 and I am having an issue with the Desktop Spaces feature. Calling defaults read com.apple.spaces.plist gives me a list of all current spaces, which reports the existence of a phantom Space that cannot be seen nor interacted with. The ID of that Space leads me to the following: which shows that space 23 is associated with the Dashboard feature, that does not exist in Sonoma! I have tried to: restart the computer, forcefully disable the dashboard with defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES killall Dock Neither attempt erased the phantom Space, which creates conflicts in my setup. I have tried completely disabling Widgets in the Preferences, closing all apps, deleting every space (including the "current" one, by creating a new one to substitute it) and restarting the Mac. After this, the id of the dashboard space changed: but it is still there. I do not know which step changed its id, because to my knowledge the com.apple.spaces.plist file takes a while to be updated (https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/388449). But no hints on how to erase it. The specific issues I am having are that this phantom space prevents any software that reads the Spaces state, to save it, from working correctly (e.g. DisplayMaid, Workspaces). In particular, I am now developing a Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) module to do just that, to set it precisely to my liking: https://github.com/tplobo/restore-spaces. Listing the spaces to cycle through them always reports this phantom space, and since it cannot be identified as the "non-existing" one (up until the time it breaks one of the Lua commands that manage spaces), I am unable to exclude it somehow to continue development. Is there a command to restart the Spaces feature, to completely erase all spaces and check if this removes this phantom Space? Otherwise, any alternative suggestions? I have already posted this in the standard forum, but no luck there. Thank you,

Is the timeout for session-level authentication challenge handling documented somewhere? For example, if I get the urlSession(_:didReceive:) callback for server trust authentication, how long do I have to invoke the completion handler (or return from the callback if using Swift Concurrency)? Or is this completely dependent on the server's settings?

Have there been any internal changes recently? Please understand that the entire crash log cannot be attached for security reasons. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a customer who wants to protect the REST API of their app with a private certificate. They would then distribute the client certificate to the authorized users. Their app would not work unless the client certificate is already installed on the user's phone before they run the app. I have never done this before. Is it possible to install a client certificate on an iPhone without running an app, for example if it were sent in an email message? And if it is possible, is App Review going to let such an app into the app store? Thanks, Frank

I have tried to insert 1L key-values into the user defaults. It is working fine until 50k key-values. After some time, am getting Not updating lastKnownShmemState in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x2825b0c60> (Domain: peformance_validator, User: kCFPreferencesCurrentUser, ByHost: No, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: No) also, key-values are not updating in the plist as well. peformance_validator is my user defaults group name. How can I solve this ?

Hi, I am having this rare issues, where a handful of my users are crashing when trying to access their realm file. This is the error I'm seeing: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: Error Domain=io.realm Code=3 "Failed to open file at path '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/BCA5E4BC-5923-4D7E-8142-AB49B32A7E59/Documents/default.realm.lock': Operation not permitted" UserInfo={Error Code=3, NSFilePath=/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/BCA5E4BC-5923-4D7E-8142-AB49B32A7E59/Documents/default.realm.lock, Error Name=PermissionDenied, NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to open file at path '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/BCA5E4BC-5923-4D7E-8142-AB49B32A7E59/Documents/default.realm.lock': Operation not permitted} and I can report that for all for those users, it seems that identiferForVendor has returned nil. So it looks like that's the common denominator. Any idea on what other data I can log or what's the issue here? Thanks..!

Hi I Download my app from test flight, when i click submit button to a backend call. App expects to get back with the response from the backend, to take to next pages. But the app seems to be stuck waiting for the backend response. No error messages seen. i am sure the backend call is blocked from the test flight version. Same code works well from emulator and the physical device from local and from Google PlayStore. Only the test flight is the problem. I am sure i messed up some settings , My Info.plist has as in below, can anyone please help.

Im using Notions API to print out some data from one of my own pages in notion and im using URLSession to make the request then parsing the unwrapped data but nothing is being returned to my console and I know my endpoint and API key is correct. I've gone through the notion API documentation can't can't seem to find anything in it that I am not doing or doing wrong. Ill provide my code as well as the documentation I've been consulting: https://developers.notion.com/reference/intro import Foundation struct Page: Codable { let id: String let title: String } let endpoint = URL(string: "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/8efc0ca3d9cc44fbb1f34383b794b817") let apiKey = "… redacted …" let session = URLSession.shared func makeRequest() { if let endpoint = endpoint { let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: endpoint) { data, response, error in if let taskError = error { print("could not establish url request:\(taskError)") return } if let unwrapData = data { //safely unwrapping the data value using if let do { let decoder = JSONDecoder() //JSONDecoder method to decode api data, let codeUnwrappedData = try decoder.decode(Page.self,from: unwrapData) //type: specifies its a struct, from: passes the data parmeter that contains the api data to be decoded } catch { print("could not parse json data") } } if let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse { if httpResponse.statusCode == 200 { if let apiData = data { print(String(data: apiData, encoding: .utf8)!) } } else { print("unsuccessful http response:\(httpResponse)") } makeRequest() } } task.resume() } }

I recently re-read Performing manual server trust authentication and noticed that it does not mention having to call SecTrustEvaluate (or its replacements) in client code (anymore). Is that implicitly taken care of by ATS?

It seems that the first time I open my app after the phone is restarted, the app does not properly access UserDefaults. When my app is launched, I pull relevant user settings / preferences from UserDefaults. I recently noticed (after some users reached out about issues) that the first time the app is opened after a restart, the app appears as though all user settings / preferences have been erased. If the app is force quit and reopened, the user data seems to come back normally. If the user takes action in the app before force quitting, though, UserDefaults will be written to with these new, empty values (essentially erasing what used to be in UserDefaults). This makes it seem as though right after the phone is restarted, the app is unable to pull data from UserDefaults for some reason. Has anyone else seen this issue? It could also be due to the lifecycle of my app and how I access UserDefaults, so if others don't have this issue it would be great to hear how you handle this.

I have a file named ä.txt (with German umlaut) on my FTP server. I select it like this: let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.runModal() let source = openPanel.urls[0] Running this code unexpectedly throws an error: do { print(try source.checkResourceIsReachable()) } catch { print(error) // Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory” } Manipulating the URL also seems to change the underlying characters: print(source) // file:///Volumes/abc.com/httpdocs/%C3%A4.txt print(URL(fileURLWithPath: source.path)) // file:///Volumes/abc.com/httpdocs/a%CC%88.txt Note that both variants of the URL above also throw the same error when running URL.checkResourceIsReachable(). If I download the file to my Mac, then both variants print file:///Users/me/Downloads/a%CC%88.txt and neither of them throws an error when running URL.checkResourceIsReachable(). What is the problem? How can I correctly access this file on the FTP server?
