Instruments has an error and a typo
* [Error] Failed to stop recording session: Failed stoping ktrace session. (xcode-select version 2409) So why can't it stop the ktrace session? And how long has that typo been around? πŸ˜„ (Look, I've kept typos in log messages for years because it differentiated that message from other messages.)

SSMenuAgent consuming lots of CPU
My load average on a largely idle system is around 22, going up to 70 or so periodically; SSMenuAgent seems to be consuming lots of CPU (and, looking at spindump, it certainly seems busy), but... it's not happening on any other system whose screens I am observing. (Er, I know about load average limitations, the process is also consuming 70-98% CPU according to both top and Activity Monitor.) Since this machine (although idle) has our network extension, I'm trying to figure out if this is due to that, or of this is generally expected. Anyone?

Swift, kevent, and wth?!?!?
I have this code: var eventIn = kevent(ident: UInt(self.socket), filter: Int16(EVFILT_WRITE), flags: UInt16((EV_ADD | EV_ENABLE)), fflags: 0, data: 0, udata: nil ) I looked at it and thought why do I have those extra parentheses? So I changed it to var eventIn = kevent(ident: UInt(self.socket), filter: Int16(EVFILT_WRITE), flags: UInt16(EV_ADD | EV_ENABLE), // changed line! fflags: 0, data: 0, udata: nil ) and then kevent gave me EBADF. Does this make sense to anyone?

Notarization service issue
This has been going on for at least a couple of hours for us: notarizing doesn't complete. Our last job ran for over 90 minutes before CircleCI timed it out. We're using xcrun notarytool submit with the --wait option; it contined to say "Current status: In Progress" for, as I said, 90 minutes or so. (Normally it takes about 70 seconds.) https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ says everything is normal. This does not seem to be the case for us. πŸ˜„

Endpoint Security Framework and signals
I added ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_SIGNAL to the event list, and added logging: os_log_debug(esfLogger, "antitampering signal %d from process %{public}s to process %{public}s", esm.signal, signing.UTF8String, targetSigning.UTF8String); I get some logs, such as 2024-12-09 10:21:47.668034+0000 0xc2c562 Debug 0x0 29448 0 DopeMonitorService: [security.dope:anti-tamper] antitampering signal 0 from process com.apple.spindump to process com.apple.mds_stores But when I do sudo kill -9 ${ourappprocess}, the proess dies with no log generated. (This is a different process than the one using ESF; the goal is, obviously, to keep our processes from being killed, but I'm only at the logging stage so far.) sudo kill -INFO ${ourappprocess} works: 2024-12-09 10:21:38.410851+0000 0xc2c562 Debug 0x0 29448 0 Monitor: [debug:anti-tamper] antitampering signal 29 from process com.apple.csh to process Worker So it is getting through to the monitoring process. But kill -9 ... isn't. Am I missing something obvious again?

SwiftUI and dragging a file onto the app icon
I'm playing around with using an app to automate some of my personal work flows, and one of the things I wanted to do was to be able to drag a .webloc file onto my app icon in the dock, to launch it. I've got public.data set up as a document type for it in Xcode, which translated to <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Viewer</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Default</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.data</string> </array> </dict> </array> in the Info.plist for it, which seems correct. When I drag a .webloc file onto the Dock icon, it appears to be willing to accept it, but nothing seems to happen. In the app, I've got an AppDelegate.swift file which has extension Notification.Name { static let receivedURLsNotification = Notification.Name("ReceivedURLsNotification") } class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func application(_ application: NSApplication, open urls: [URL]) { guard !urls.isEmpty else { return } NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .receivedURLsNotification, object: nil, userInfo: ["URLs": urls]) } } (I copied it almost verbatim from a Medium post.) In the app swift file, I have @main struct LoggerApp: App, DropDelegate { @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate I set a breakpoint on application(_:NSApplication, open:[URL]), and did my drag, and the breakpoint never triggered. I added the application(didFinishLaunching(_:Notification) method, and that does get invoked when the app launches, so the app delegate does seem to be working. That seems to indicate the problem is somewhere else?

Getting process info for other processes?
I'd like to be able to do the equivalent of getrusage(3) for some of our other processes. These are daemons, so they're not connected in any way. Obviously, Activity Monitor and top can do the things I want, but I'm not Apple. πŸ˜„ I went down a maze of twisty APIs, all a-Mach, and have decided to ask. (We're trying to keep track of the processes in the field. We also want to know what's going on if a process has stopped responding but hasn't died. I suppose I could, absolute worst case, periodically send getrusage(3) info to the monitoring process.)

More DispatchIO problems -- cleanup handler isn't called
I create a DispatchIO object (in Swift) from a socketpair, set the low/high water marks to 1, and then call read on it. Elsewhere (multi-threaded, of course), I get data from somewhere, and write to the other side of it. Then when my data is done, I call dio?.close() The cleanup handler never gets called. What am I missing? (ETA: Ok, I can get it to work by calling dio?.close(flags: .stop) so that may be what I was missing.) (Also, I really wish it would get all the data available at once for the read, rather than 1 at a time.)

dispatch/block.h not found
This is definitely a weird one -- the laptop is running macOS 12, but it's trying to build using macOS 13 SDK? (The machine cannot run anything later than macOS 12, btw.) In file included from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/CFStream.h:20: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.1.sdk/usr/include/dispatch/dispatch.h:69:10: fatal error: 'dispatch/block.h' file not found #include <dispatch/block.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. I'm trying xcode-select --install but has anyone run into this before?

Upgraded to Sequoia & Xcode 16.0, now build doesn't work
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.0.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/__format/formatter_floating_point.h:66:30: error: 'to_chars' is unavailable: introduced in macOS 13.3 66 | to_chars_result __r = std::to_chars(__first, __last, __value, __fmt); Which, ok, I can accept that this is true. Except that this worked on Friday, on the same machine running Sonoma and the previous version of Xcode. The project is configured for a deployment target of 12.0, so it should have failed before, but didn't. (This is a CMake-generated xcodeproj, but that also should not have been any change.)

Xcode won't notarize app with network extension
The archive build part works, and uses the correct entitlements file: [Key] com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension [Value] [Array] [String] app-proxy-provider-systemextension That's from codesign -dv --entitlements - ...../NetworkExtensionExperiment.app However, the distribution log shows "Error Domain=DVTPortalProfileErrorDomain Code=4 \"Cannot create a Developer ID provisioning profile for \"com.kithrup.NetworkExtensionExperiment\".\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot create a Developer ID provisioning profile for \"com.kithrup.NetworkExtensionExperiment\"., IDEDistributionIssueSeverity=3, NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=The Network Extensions capability is not available for Developer ID provisioning profiles. Disable this feature and try again., NSUnderlyingError=0x600013e719b0 {Error Domain=DVTPortalProfileTypeErrorDomain Code=0 \"Cannot create a Developer ID provisioning profile.\" UserInfo={UnsupportedFeatureNames=(\n \"Network Extensions\"\n), NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot create a Developer ID provisioning profile., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=The Network Extensions capability is not available for Developer ID provisioning profiles.

All my years of hating xcode are coming back to haunt me, I can tell.

Transparent Proxy Provider, UDP, mbufs, and inevitable panics
First, for the ο£Ώ employees reading, I filed FB14844573 over the weekend, because this is a reproducible panic or hang. whee I ran our stress tests for an entire long weekend, and my machine panicked, due to mbufs. Normally, I tell my coworkers that we can't really do anything to cause a panic -- but we're doing network things, so this is an exception. I started periodically testing the mbufs while the tests were running -- netstat -m | grep 'mbufs in use' -- and noticed that in fact they were going up, and never decreasing. Even if I killed our code and uninstalled the extensions. (They're increasing at about ~4mbufs/sec.) Today I confirmed that this only happens if we include UDP packets: let udpRule = NENetworkRule(destinationNetwork: host, prefix: 0, protocol: .UDP) let tcpRule = NENetworkRule(destinationNetwork: host, prefix: 0, protocol: .TCP) ... settings.includedNetworkRules = [udpRule, tcpRule] If I comment out that udpRule, part, mbufs don't leak. Our handleNewUDPFlow(:, initialRemoteEndpoint:) method checks to see if the application is a friendly one, and if so it returns false. If it isn't friendly, we want to block QUIC packets: if let host = endpoint as? NWHostEndpoint { if host.port == "80" || host.port == "443" { // We need to open it and then close it flow.open(withLocalEndpoint: nil) { error in Self.workQueue.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.01) { let err = error ?? POSIXError(POSIXErrorCode.ECONNABORTED) flow.closeReadWithError(err) flow.closeWriteWithError(err) } } return true } } return false Has anyone else run into this? I can't see that it's my problem at that point, since the only thing we do with UDP flows is to either say "we don't want it, you handle it" or "ok sure, we'll take it but then let's close it immediately".

Ever-increasing mbuf usage
Using our transparent proxy provider, I noticed that the mbuf usage was... weird: 15839/750028 mbufs in use: 15810 mbufs allocated to data 29 mbufs allocated to packet headers 734189 mbufs allocated to caches The amount allocated to caches does go down a bit, but nothing significantly. I started looking into this because I've had a couple of panics from remoted not checking in enough, and it was (as I recall, I can't find the crash logs now) mbuf-related. I've looked through an older version of the xnu source, and nothing jumped out, but that doesn't have the code for the network extension support. I hate mbufs and always have.
