I have an installation workflow that works by a user double clicking on the mpkg and going through the prompts to install some software. Within the postinstall of the mpkg, /usr/sbin/installer -pkg "path_to_pkg" -target / is done to install additional software.
The software contained in the mpkg contains system extensions and installs without issue.
The software contained in the pkg file also contains system extensions and a prompt with this message displayed.
"XSoftware" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash
This file was downloaded on an unknown date.
This is causing issues with the system extension being installed from XSoftware.
Curiously enough, when I run /usr/sbin/installer -pkg "path_to_pkg" -target / manually in a terminal window it works successfully and XSoftware is able to install the System Extensions and run properly.
I've used the pkgutil --check-signature to check the notarization and signing and it looks correct.
This is my dmg structure:
dmg
|
mpkg
data_folder
|
pkg
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more details if neccessary.

Hi,
I'm developing an app using SwiftUI for both iOS and Mac OS and use onOpenURL to handle external links. However, this doesn't seem to work after switching to a single window app on Mac OS.
This code works:
WindowGroup {
Text("Hi").onOpenURL { url in
print("Open URL", url)
}
}
But this doesn't:
Window("My App", id: "my_app") {
Text("Hi").onOpenURL { url in
print("Open URL", url)
}
}
Anyone knows a workaround? Thanks!

To help with debugging on a customers machine, this terminal command records log entries for my app and writes 'em to disk.
log stream --predicate 'process=="Sleep Aid"' --style compact > ~/Desktop/Sleep\ Aid.log
In my app I have a function that does something similar to the above with a NSTask, and then I ask the customer to repeat the action that causes the problem. However for one customer, the file is created, but apart from it saying it's being filter by process, nothing else is written.
Is there some new security setting that can prevent an app from getting its own logging data, or in this case even prevent the customer from using terminal and the above command to get the log data?
This is similar also.

Or should I be filing a radar about a potential bug?

Hi Apple Dev Support team,
We have been applied for our kext on the middle of March, but we have still heard nothing from our dashboard. The purpose of our kext is to provide an implementation of a local file system, which may help our users install/format and use a certain file system (namely the NTFS file system) through our desktop app.
Because our application has been submitted for more than 2 months without feedback, so we are writing to ask if you can help us check the application progress? When will it get passing through and if there is anything else we need to provide you with?
Thanks for your kind help in advance.

Our app exports a number of file types in info.plist. For each of these file types, we export various possible file name extensions. For example, for one of our file types, we specify the possible extensions ".data", ".fitdat", and ".profitdata".
In the settings of our app, we allow the user to select their preferred extension to be used, i.e. the extension to be used when, e.g., saving a document with "Save As..." panel without explicitly specifying the extension.
For this, we override NSDocument's fileNameExtensionForType:saveOperation to return the presently preferred extension.
This has stopped working, probably starting from macOS 14. If the user does not specify the extension in the NSSavePanel, it's always the first extension (".data") that gets added to the file name.
I guess it's a consequence of the introduction of UTType, which has its own preferredFilenameExtension, which in turn probably just grabs the first extension we specify in our info.plist
Any advice how to resolve this? Is there any way to override NSSavePanel's selection of extension if the user does not specify one?
Thanks for any advice in advance

I am trying to fetch static routes added on my mac machine by DHCP server. I am able to get DHCP info using SCDynamicStoreCopyDHCPInfo and then get DHCP options using DHCPInfoGetOptionData. However, I could not find any API that can help me parse the raw data returned by DHCPInfoGetOptionData. Since macOS is parsing and adding these static routes and also displaying them in AdditionalRoutes of service, is there any API available to developers to parse this raw data into destination, mask and gateway?

After upload using transporter I get following message:
"Cannot be used with TestFlight because the signature for the bundle at “GSequencer.app” is missing an application identifier but has an application identifier in the provisioning profile for the bundle. Bundles with application identifiers in the provisioning profile are expected to have the same identifier signed into the bundle in order to be eligible for TestFlight." (90886)
I am unsure about the cause of this problem, please give some advice howto fix?
We have a legacy app written in a mix of C, ObjC, C++ and ObjC++ with .xib files. It is not sandboxed.
It sends an Apple Event to TV (the app of that name from Apple, not a physical TV) using /usr/bin/osascript, calling a compiled Apple Script which is in our app bundle's Resources directory with parameters which we generate in our app at runtime. The first time it does this on a fresh system, the OS puts up a dialog asking for permission to control TV, and after the user clicks Allow, our app appears under Security and Privacy in the Automation section.
That's all fine, but what is unexpected is that the app has no Apple Events entitlement (com.apple.security.automation.apple-events), and it doesn't have a NSAppleEventsUsageDescription string either. The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_security_automation_apple-events says
Your app doesn’t need the Apple Events Entitlement if it only sends Apple events to itself or to other processes signed with the same team ID.
but we're not on the Apple team.
When I filter the log for messages from tccd pertaining to our app, it does indeed complain :
Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceAppleEvents requires entitlement com.apple.security.automation.apple-events but it is missing for accessing={TCCDProcess: identifier=<our bundle id>”
But despite those complaints, everything works - I can send the event, and TV acts upon it. Is this working only by accident, and might fail in some minor future OS update?
tccd also complains about the microphone
Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceMicrophone requires entitlement com.apple.security.device.audio-input but it is missing for requesting={TCCDProcess: identifier=<our bundle ID>
but we don't use the microphone
tccd complains about this too
<path-to-our-app> attempted to call TCCAccessRequest for kTCCServiceAccessibility without the recommended com.apple.private.tcc.manager.check-by-audit-token entitlement
What does that mean, and should we be concerned?

Hi,
I have codesigned my application and after this macos won't run the binary anymore.
codesign -f -o runtime --timestamp -s "Developer ID Application: YOUR NAME (TEAM_ID)" --entitlements $HOME/workspace/GSequencer-cocoa/gsequencer-macos/macos-contrib/GSequencer.entitlements -i com.gsequencer.GSequencer --deep $HOME/workspace/GSequencer-cocoa/gsequencer-macos/build/universal/GSequencer.app
Verify signature works.
codesign -vv $HOME/workspace/GSequencer-cocoa/gsequencer-macos/build/universal/GSequencer.app
The same for the DMG file, still doesn't work anymore.
codesign -f -o runtime --timestamp -s "Developer ID Application: YOUR NAME (TEAM_ID)" $HOME/workspace/GSequencer-cocoa/gsequencer-macos/build/arm64/GSequencer-6.9.1.dmg
I would love to distribute my application with code signing. Note all libraries are built using clang or clang++.
I figured out that when I leave entitlements away it would launch but complains about library signatures.

Hi,
So recently I've been itching to get some actual work done and create something that is genuinely useful to me. Mainly, I want to practice my skills and hopefully build up some new ones.
My concept/idea is to create something that resembles spatial audio ( or spatialized stereo ), but on steroids for macOS. I want to create something that has much more customizability, but also ease of use. I'd like to make use of the power in products like AirPods Pro and create a more immersive audio experience. However, before I make any serious plans, I'd like to ask for some feedback, really just to consider the feasibility of something like this. I throughly enjoy a rich audio experience, but I feel the experience as is on macOS is quite lackluster, especially compared to iOS with system wide spatialized stereo already available.
I would genuinely appreciate any feedback or support that could be given on this project. Thank you for your time.
I also apologize if this is the wrong usage of this forum/support.

Hello,
I have some question about the usage of the function:
func update(NEFilterSocketFlow, using: NEFilterDataVerdict, for: NETrafficDirection)
(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/nefilterdataprovider/3543400-update)
provided by the NEFilterDataProvider class of the content filter network extension.
If I understand correctly, this function can be used on an instance of NEFilterDataProvider to update an already issued verdict for a network flow. By "issuing verdict" I mean returning any of .allow()/.drop()/.init(pass: peek:) in handleNewFlow/handleInboundData/handleOutboundData
However, I am having difficulty with it. My workflow involves maintaining an array of currently active flows. Flows are inserted in handleNewFlow() and they are deleted when handleReport(report: NEFilterReport) with event flowClosed is called (flow identification is based on their UUID). Then, at some point in future, based on our business logic, I iterate through the container of "active flows" and attempt to call func update(NEFilterSocketFlow, using: NEFilterDataVerdict, for: NETrafficDirection) on all of them, with intention of changing the already issued verdict.
However, calling that function seems to have no effect. Am I using it the wrong way? What is the intended usage? Is it even possible to update verdict of already allowed or postponed by .init(peek:pass:) flows?
The issue I'm trying to solve is that we evaluate flows based on our business logic and return either .drop() or .init(pass: peek:) verdicts for them. Sometimes, we want to reevaluate the .init(pass: peek:) verdict immediately, which is when we attempt to call the update() function and provide a new .init(pass:peek) or .drop() verdict.
The main objective is to promptly drop certain flows, particularly those awaiting further data evaluation due to .init(pass: peek), immediately on demand.
Thanks.

SMAppService.statusForLegacyPlist() stops working in macOS Sonoma 14.5 beta. It always returns .notFound even if the service is installed, runs and the main app is able to connect it through XPC. It used to work fine before. The service LaunchDaemons plist contains the following keys:

Is this a bug in the beta version of Mac OS or a deliberate change that requires some kind of response from our side?

Hello all,
if I enable the .chartScrollableAxes(.horizontal) and .chartXVisibleDomain(length: length) for a chart view to zoom in the screenshot of the view misses the graphs.
I use this extension:
`extension View {
@MainActor func snapshot() {
let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: self)
if let exportImage = renderer.nsImage {
let pasteboard = NSPasteboard.general
pasteboard.clearContents()
pasteboard.writeObjects([exportImage])
}
}
}`
The screenshot is taken with:
Button("Snap") {
let view = ChartView(text: $statusText, length: $chartLength)
.padding()
.frame(width: 1500, height: 500)
view.snapshot()
}
If I omit .chartScrollableAxes(.horizontal) the snapshot is ok and the graphs are visible in the image but then a zoom is not possible and the whole range is shown.
Any ideas?

Condition: We have an existing app that runs on iPhone and iPad. We want to make it compatible with macOS, along with it we want to leverage some of the macOS native components. We achieved this using macCatalyst, but now we want to build common components using swiftUI for both macOS and iOS platforms.
Challenge: Using SwiftUI view for mac development
Approach 1:
We created a Mac bundle that contained Mac specific views (using Appkit views).
This approach worked fine for creating and using components that are specific to macOS.
Now while developing and using SwiftUI views in mac bundle we face following error -> (NSHostingViewController symbol not found).
Approach 2:
We tried creating a separate Mac app and make it part of MacCatalyst app.
In this approach we were able to show NSStatusBar and add text using SwiftUI view.
But the status bar appearance is inconsistent, sometimes NSStatusBar icon appears but other times it just won't appear.
Can anyone help with the right approach for this scenarios

When you use the eslogger command line tool to dump 'profile add' and 'profile remove' notify events, the instigator process seems to always be reported to be the mdmclient process whatever the "real" instigator is:
the Profiles pane in System Settings.app.
a MDM solution
the profiles command line tool.
[Q] Is this expected?
Because for another family of notify events where there is also an instigator field, the instigator points to the "real" instigator.

I prepare an app to migrate from ObservableObject to Observable, from EnvironmentObject to Environment(MyClass.self) and so so forth.
That works OK, very simple.
But, that forces to run on macOS 14 or more recent.
So I would like to have it conditionally, such as:
if macOS 14 available
@Environment(ActiveConfiguration.self) var activeConfiguration: ActiveConfiguration
otherwise
@EnvironmentObject var activeConfiguration: ActiveConfiguration
The same for the class declaration:
if macOS 14 available
@Observable class ActiveConfiguration {
var config = Configuration()
}
otherwise
class ActiveConfiguration : ObservableObject {
@Published var config = Configuration()
}
Is there a way to achieve this (I understand it is not possible through extensions of Macros, as we can do for modifiers) ?
Could I define 2 classes for ActiveConfiguration, but then what about @Environment ?
