file uri scheme

First up, you’re correct that there’s a contradiction here: Apple has effectively deprecated the file-base keychain in favour of the data protection keychain. But the Personal Team limits, which come from iOS, run counter to the expectations of macOS developers. I don’t have any answers for you on that front, but if you file a bug describing this contradiction and post the bug number here, I’ll make sure that the relevant folks see it. Coming back to your real issue, there’s a lot to unpack there and I don’t have time to dig into it all. However, you seem to have bumped into a pretty fundamental limitation: You want the system to protect your item such that only your program can access it. But you’re not giving it any code-signing credentials to do that. Something has to give. The file-based keychain has a bunch of legacy access control centred around code-signing requirements — see TN3127 Inside Code Signing: Requirements — so that’s one thing you might explore. But that still requ

So, I got some more time to look at this today and need to change my answer a bit. Let me actually jump back to here: All the documentation I was able to consult says that macOS is designed to use up to all available storage on the startup disk (which is the one I am using since I have only one disk and the available space aforementioned reflects this) for swapping, when physical RAM is not enough. Did you actually see this in our documentation and, if so, where? If any of our modern documentation actually says that we do this, then that's something I'd like to clean up and correct. So, let me go back to the idea here: macOS is designed to use up to all available storage on the startup disk That's the classic” UNIX system machine swap and, historically, it's how Mac OS X originally worked. However, the downside of this approach is swap death in one of two forms: Soft, meaning the system has slowed down to the point that the user is now no longer willing to use the machine, even though it technically still wor

@viktor_runcoach Thanks for providing me the FB number for the filed bug. I see you produced the trace files. I don't see what's the last version of iOS you have used to test if still happens. Albert Pascual

I created an App Intents extension (AppIntent + @Parameter(file)...) but the app still does not appear in Shortcuts “Share with App”. I suggest going the App Intent route, but the way you invoke it from a Shortcut is a bit different. When your app is installed, iOS will be informed of the intents in your app, and will display them as dedicated actions in the Shortcuts app that you can choose to use in a Shortcut. It replaces picking a system action like Share with App, and will likely give your customers the most flexibility with how they can interact with your app through Shortcuts. As to making your app appear in the Share with App menu, take a look at implementing an Action Extension. — Ed Ford,  DTS Engineer

Albert, I have also filed a bug report FB21320686 I have attached a trace and a project file to reproduce the issue. ray_cai, what has your fix been? Does removing the legacy launch image fix the issue?

Please file an enhancement request using the Feedback Assistant so that your request can be seen by the appropriate decision makers. If you file the request, please post the Feedback number here so we can make sure it gets routed to the right team. Please note that filing an enhancement request does not guarantee Apple will add any requested functionality to Apple products in the future. However, with that said, filing an enhancement request is a good way to get your ideas in front of the folks who make decisions about that sort of thing. If you're not familiar with how to file enhancement requests, take a look at Bug Reporting: How and Why?

Sorry for the delay responding. I’m running out of workdays for 2025, so I can’t address everything upthread. Instead, I want to post some general guidelines. If DevForums blocks you from posting reasonable content with the message “This post contains sensitive language”, I’d appreciate you filing a bug about that. For instructions on how to do that, see the end of this post. After that, you’ll need a workaround. Here’s how to use a binary search to find the problematic text: As part of the bug reporting process, you saved a copy of your post to a text file. Make a copy of that file. Open it in your text editor of choice. Select half of the file and delete it. Copy the remaining text and try to post that. If it works, undo the delete, select the other half, delete that, and go back to step 4. Make sure to click the Edit button next to your post rather than posting a second reply. If it fails, go back to step 3 and continue dividing. Eventually you’ll get down to something s

hi, I'm a PM for a startup that filed a request for this entitlement on Dec 3rd. I've read that the approval process can take anywhere from a week to a month. Would it be possible to get a status update? thanks in advance.
