While compiling with the Xcode Beta1 version, the 'module' keyword used in the previous method as a parameter is now recognized as a reserved keyword, causing compilation errors and preventing our project from continuing to run. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. Additionally, I would like to vent: It's quite uncomfortable that the MacOS Beta version cannot be downgraded directly. I am now facing the dilemma of being unable to open Xcode 15 and having Xcode 16 fail to compile.

Hello guys, Is there any API developers can use to get advantage of the new windows resize and placement feature for macOS Sequoia? And of course I'm not talking about resizing the windows from your own app, but the windows from other apps. Thank you.

I am attempting to make a macOS app to show a large popup with no titlebar and a transparent background that spans the entire active display. Currently, I am attempting the last part, with the sizing. I used an example on the relevant developer documentation page. This is the code I am using in my App struct: @main struct MakeGoodChoicesApp: App { ... var body: some Scene { ... Window("Make Good Choices", id:"popup") { PopupWindowContentView() .ignoresSafeArea(.all) } .windowIdealPlacement {_, context in return WindowPlacement( x: context.defaultDisplay.bounds.minX, y: context.defaultDisplay.bounds.minY, width: context.defaultDisplay.bounds.width, height: context.defaultDisplay.bounds.height ) } } } When running my application and using some code to open the popup window, I get the following result: I would expect the window to expand past the safe area, but it seems as if macOS clamped the window's size down to inside the safe areas. I would appreciate any help, many thanks!

I've been developing an MacOS app for a while and everything was going smoothly until one of the testers reported that the app was crashing on launch. After investigation, we discovered that he had System Integrity Protection disabled. I could reproduce the error by disabling SIP: Library not loaded: @rpath/myframework.framework/myframework Referenced from: <4C129258-1BF8-3D30-9AFE-BF4206D0A767> /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp Reason: , (security policy does not allow @ path expansion) (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace) The app launches normally if I reenable SIP. I can't find information about "security policy does not allow @ path expansion". I'll appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

Last year I remember Apple providing a Device Support download that would allow running macOS 14 in a VM on macOS 13 without needing to install the whole Xcode beta. Is Apple planning on releasing a similar download this year to allow running a macOS 15 VM on macOS 14 without installing the Xcode beta?

Anyone download this yet and have your system data **** up in size? Lesson learned to never download beta of anything. Can barely work in Xcode 16 now, another beta I should not have downloaded :/ Anyway to reduce this size of system data properly? Thanks!

i build apps that act as Screen Readers to 1) add Vim motions everywhere on macOS 2) click (and more) AX Elements through the keyboard 3) scroll through the keyboard. it works extremely well with native apps. with non-native apps, i need to blast them with some extra AX Attributes (AXManualAccessibility, AXEnhancedUserInterface) to get them to expose their AX Elements. but there are a couple of apps tho which i can't get them to expose their AX Elements programmatically. now the weird thing is as soon as i start VoiceOver, those apps open up. or for some, if i use the Accessibility Inspector to go through their AX Elements, then they start opening up. so i'm wondering, is there one public known way that i'm missing to open up those apps, or is Apple using private APIs? any way i could make my apps behave like VoiceOver or the Accessibility Inspector to force those recalcitrant apps to open up? thanks in advance.

Is there any official way to download IPSW files for older versions of macOS like macOS 13 for use with a VM app like Parallels or UTM?

Recently Upgraded my System to macOS 15 Sequoia Beta and Xcode 16 Beta. Everything downloaded and working fine but Predictive Code Completion Model Stuck in Downloading. System - MacBook Air 2020, M1, 16GB RAM, 256GB(114GB available) storage.

I'm super excited about the announcement of iPhone Mirroring on macOS. Will there be a way to communicate with a connected device throughout an API? E.g., will we developers get a way to write automation or interact with the connected device via code?

Hello Apple official engineer? I am a User of iOS 18 Beta & MacOS Sequoia Beta. I found some errors and uncomfortable problems of the Operating systems, so I want to notice them to you. The iOS 18 the tabs of Control center. I want to delete empty of one, but the is no way to delete. There was no control component. How should I do? -_- text of item that modified its size in the control panel protruded out of the container. the rounder container can't contain the text. The text should be more smaller or container should be changed. the responses when I touch has delay. Our family all use iPhone 12Pro or 13, when iOS 17 came out and I installed it, our phones became slower. If iOS 18 (official) assigns more processors, I think only iPhone 15 and 16 don't have lags. Also, There are some thing problem in the MacOS Sequoia(15) it doesn't support Xcode 15(.4). I should download 16 Beta!!! it has so many lag more than iOS 18. The Mac's benefit was soft screen but it become very hard moving ^^(??) this is not sure... after I update MacOS 15, the macbook makes "zzzzzzziiiii" sound when I charge. the beta does not 100% localized. I'm Korean but many messages and systems sometimes show the english. Pls check this contents!

This is quite an issue I also had for iOS 17 as well, but I accidentally ended the process though and I had to wait till iOS 17 was released. This year with iOS 18, I get the same issue except I did actually download it. It installed and went through as it prompt me to close iTunes before installing it. However, as I open iTunes after it was installed, my hopes weren’t up at all and it gave me another prompt to download it again. The prompt that was given to me is: A software update is required to connect to iPhone. I clicked install and waited for the process to download. However it never did download for some reason, and as I thought it was working, few minutes goes by and I get a new message saying: Installation Failed: Can’t install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. So what now? This also occurs with public beta and developer beta. I know there’s such thing as a mobile framework for it to work but how do I get it to work on iTunes? I’m running High Sierra by the way. Does anyone have a solution to this? I have a backup of my iPhone via iTunes made before I download it in case if I have to downgrade it but it won’t be possible if iTunes won’t recognize my iPhone.

Is it possible to style a Picker on macOS to look like it was in a Form, but without actually being in a grouped Form? Unfortunately I can't use Form because its style is not customizable enough. I've tried setting various buttonStyles but I only got close to what I want. The biggest problem is that the picker is left-aligned and I need it right-aligned.

Is there a Description key for an app to explain why it's requesting Accessibility permissions?

How do you send an NSURL representing a new file, as returned from an NSSavePanel, to an XPC service such that the service is granted permission to create the file? I can successfully pass an NSURL to the XPC process if the NSURL represents an existing file. This is documented in Apple's Documentation: Share file access between processes with URL bookmarks This involves creating bookmark date while passing 0 in as the options. However, if you try to create bookmark data for an NSURL that represents a file that is not yet created, you do not get any bookmark data back and an error is returned instead: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file couldn’t be opened because it doesn’t exist." Simply passing the file path to the XPC process, by way of: xpc_dictionary_set_string(message, "file_path", url.fileSystemRepresentation); Does not grant the XPC create/write permissions. Is there an API or trick I'm missing? Note that the user should be allowed to save and create new files anywhere of their choosing, thus restricting URLs to only those within a group or container shared between the app and service isn't really viable. Using the latest of everything on macOS with the xpc_session API...

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/systempreferences The Above documentation of "System Preferences" says deprecated. I assume that some of the panes are not working in latest OS due to this deprecation. My query is , Is there any other alternative to Disable or Enabled Preference Panes which was attained by SystemPreferences Payload. I couldn't find any. Is it entirely stopped and in latest OS's ,it wont allowed to restrict those panes?

Hello, For educational purpose, I try to use a POSIX semaphore sem_t instead of a dispatch_semaphore_t in a sandbox macOS Obj-C app. When using sandbox, the semaphore code creation : sem_t * _unixSemaphore; char nameSemaphore[64] = {0}; snprintf(nameSemaphore, 22, "/UnixSemaphore_sample"); _unixSemaphore = sem_open(nameSemaphore, O_CREAT, 0644, 0); fails, receiving SEM_FAILED and the errno is 78 (not implemented) However, the sem_t _unixSemaphore is created and works fine when I disable sandbox I my entitlements. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you in advance Jean Marie
