The Apple Developer Forums are primarily focused on helping third-party developers create software products for Apple’s various platforms. You’ve made it clear that you’re approaching this from the perspective of a site admin. That distinction is critical in this case because the facilities you’re referring to are not appropriate for third-party developers to use. Rather, they’re available for benefit of users and site admins. Given that reality, you might have better luck asking this question over in the Apple Support Community, run by Apple Support, and specifically in the Business and Education topic area, where you’re more likely to find folks with relevant experience.

I have general info on that process in Bug Reporting: How and Why? In this case specifically, please include: The reproducer you’ve shared here The analysis from your second post Once you’re done, please post your bug number, just for the record.

As things currently stand, ExtensionKit on iOS [1] requires that the host and container apps be the same, that is, an app can only load extensions that are located within the app. Given that reality, does your high-level goal still make sense?

It’s better to reply as a reply, rather than in the comments; see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other titbits. I can’t move the Developer folder to an external SSD, right? I don’t think you can move the whole thing, but you can move bits via Xcode > Settings > Locations. Oh, one last thing. If you do put Xcode, or any Mac app, an an external drive, it’s a good idea to use a native volume format, so APFS or HFS Plus. While other volume formats, like FAT32, should work, I’ve definitely seen folks bump into problems doing that.

I’m not in a position to comment on the details of your proposal. When you get this to the point where you’re happy with it, use Feedback Assistant to file the request officially. See Bug Reporting: How and Why? for lots of background on that process. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = eskimo + 1 + @ + apple.com

I think you have your answer here, but I wanted to stress that file system access control is really rather complicated on macOS these days, and I have a general explanation of the subsystems involved in On File System Permissions.

Paris and I chatted about your issue and we realised that it has a bit more subtlety than we first thought. First up, it’s not clear whether the app that hits this issue is one of your apps, or whether you’re hitting it an app created by a different third-party developer. We can help you in the first case, but in the second case you should talk to that app’s developer. Assuming that you are the one creating this app, the alert you’re seeing is the result of a feature known as app group container protection. There’s a link to the WWDC video that introduced this feature in Trusted Execution Resources. I also have a bunch of info about app groups in general in my App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Working Towards Harmony post. As explained in that last post, you don’t see this alert if all the apps accessing the app group are from the same team. However, there’s no way to avoid it if you’re trying to access an app group associated with some other team. The example you posted suggests you’re accessing a Microsoft Office a

[/quote] I discussed this thread with some of my DTS colleagues and, sadly, we don’t see a good way to achieve this goal. The only option that we see as feasible is this: [quote='812846021, davealden, /thread/812846, /profile/davealden'] 3. WKExtendedRuntimeSession on watchOS [/quote] and, as you’ve noticed, that runs counter to clause 2.5.4 in the App Review Guidelines. Note I don’t work for App Review, and thus can’t make definitive statements about their policy, but this one seems pretty clear to me. My general advice in situations like this is to file an enhancement request for the specific features you need. Also, you’re using of NEAppPushProvider, which suggests you’re working in a managed environment. If so, make that clear in your bug report. Apple has a history of supporting features in managed environments tha

[quote='872694022, Kopyl, /thread/775029?answerId=872694022#872694022, /profile/Kopyl'] my app has nothing to do with iOS and their app groups. [/quote] OK. But my post, App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Working Towards Harmony, is still relevant regardless. The good news is that the situation has both stabilised and improved since you started this thread, and thus I don’t see any impediments to you solving this nicely. To offer specific advice I need to know more about your specific setup. What is your Team ID? What is the Apple ID of your app? And what app group ID are you trying to use? If you’re not comfortable sharing this info publicly, feel free to redact it. For example, for Apple Configurator that info would be: Team ID 4WXS7A4F54 -> 4________4 Apple ID 1037126344 -> 1________4 App group ID K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator -> K________D.g___p.c__.a___e.c__________r IMPORTANT I’m looking for the Apple ID of the app, not your Apple ID (now known as an Apple Account).
