What happen when a deprecated method is used in project submitted to Apple Store Connect ? Generally the Apple documentation give the alternative like "Use ***: instead" but sometime the documentation do not suggest anything. What to do when a such Warning happen ?

Since dragImage: is deprecated I am trying to update drag and drop with beginDraggingSessionWithItems:. Drag work fine but I cannot get drop to work correctly. In the code below change #ifndef to #ifdef (using dragImage:) make drop work as expected. draggingEntered, draggingUpdated, draggingExited, draggingEnded are all called but NOT performDragOperation (which do the drop). Uncommenting the line [pb_item pasteboard:paste_board provideDataForType:@"LN_PboardType"]; cause an exceptionPreprocess: -[NSPasteboardItem pasteboard:provideDataForType:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600001e64240. I also try add NSDraggingDestination, NSItemProviderWriting, NSPasteboardTypeOwner to @interface line without success. What I am doing wrong ? Any other method to do Drag and Drop (other than dragImage: and beginDraggingSessionWithItems:) ? Where can I found an Obj-C project using beginDraggingSessionWithItems: for drag an drop ? ``@interface Enclosure : NSView <NSDraggingSource, NSPasteboardItemDataProvider> - (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (self) { [super setAutoresizesSubviews:YES]; [self registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil]]; } return self; } - (BOOL)acceptsFirstMouse:(NSEvent *)event { return YES; } - (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)drag_event { NSImage *drag_image; NSPoint drag_position; NSRect dragging_rect; NSPasteboard *paste_board; NSDraggingItem *drag_item; NSArray *items_array; NSPasteboardItem *pb_item; paste_board = [NSPasteboard pasteboardWithName:@"LN_PboardType"]; [paste_board declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil] owner:self]; pb_item = [[NSPasteboardItem alloc] init]; [pb_item setDataProvider:self forTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil]]; // [pb_item pasteboard:paste_board provideDataForType:@"LN_PboardType"]; drag_image = [ [NSImage imageNamed:@"drag.jpg"]; drag_position = [self convertPoint:[drag_event locationInWindow] fromView:nil]; drag_position.x -= drag_image.size.width/2; drag_position.y -= drag_image.size.height/2; #ifndef DEPRECATED [self dragImage:drag_image at:drag_position offset:NSZeroSize event:drag_event pasteboard:paste_board source:self slideBack:YES]; #else drag_item = [[NSDraggingItem alloc] initWithPasteboardWriter:pb_item]; dragging_rect = NSMakeRect(drag_position.x, drag_position.y, drag_image.size.width, drag_image.size.height); [drag_item setDraggingFrame:dragging_rect contents:drag_image]; items_array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:drag_item]; [self beginDraggingSessionWithItems:items_array event:drag_event source:(id)self]; #endif } - (NSDragOperation)draggingSession:(NSDraggingSession *)session sourceOperationMaskForDraggingContext:(NSDraggingContext)context { if (disable_drag_and_drop) return NSDragOperationNone; switch (context) { case NSDraggingContextWithinApplication: return NSDragOperationCopy; case NSDraggingContextOutsideApplication: return NSDragOperationMove; } return NSDragOperationNone; } …``

in Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pdfkit/pdfannotationbuttonwidget/setbackgroundcolor(_:)?language=objc What is the alternative (to set window background) ?
