What is the suggested way to do this?Answer:Use System Image Utility's NetInstall workflow for this. It creates a customized installer and stores inside the generated disk image (NetInsta

Hi,Every time I restart my computer and reopen Xcode, a message shows up wich tells to enter the credencials of a member of the Developer tools group in order to enable the Debugging features.My question is where I can add users to this group, so that not-admin-users also can enable it.Thank you in advance,logic3

HiIm surprised that were now on iOS 12 Beta 6 that Group Notifications still doesn't work properly :-( I don't mean 3rd part Apps, I mean Apple Stock Apps like Mail and Messages. Sometimes it can be hit or miss, it will work one day and not another.Anyone else noticing the same?

Hello, Could you please explain to me what the difference between using app groups with a secure key (com.apple.security.application-groups) inside entitlements is? I haven't found any relevant source on the internet. Does it have any connection with the team? It the access to App Groups with this key restricted only for a specific developer team or app bundle id? Thank you for your time :)

So what's the point of being able to block unto 50 apps per ManagedSettingStore via store.application.blockedApplications (which works fine) until removing the blocked apps or clearing the store. Where the following occurs if you have a social networking group with more than 9 apps only 9 apps will go back into the group and all the others will go onto the springboard all jumbled if you end up with an empty group then tap into the group, it is removed then during the reset all apps are placed back on to the springboard

WIth CNContact framework, how to get members in a group like ABGroupCopyArrayOfAllMembers does?thank you,norio ota

Hi, I added one QR Code in conclusion.html in macOS installer, after the installation complete, the summary page cannot show the picture. I have tried with base64 embeded picture, local picture and load picture from internet, all are not useful. Please let me know how to show the picture in summary page of macOS installer. I used productbuild to build my macOS application. Below is the Distribution.xml language ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8 standalone=no? installer-script minSpecVersion=1.000000 title__PRODUCT__/title background mime-type=image/png file=banner.png scaling=proportional/ welcome file=welcome.html mime-type=text/html / conclusion file=conclusion.html mime-type=text/html / license file=LICENSE.txt/ options customize=never allow-external-scripts=no/ domains enable_localSystem=true / installation-check script=installCheck();/ script function installCheck() { if(!(system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersion, '10.6.0') = 0)) { my.result.title = 'Unable to install'; my.res

Has anyone found a preference/MDM payload for suppressing the 32-bit app nags in 10.13.4? On lab machines which have profiles regularly wiped, this effectively means every user sees these at every login. There's nothing end users (or we) can do about various apps until vendors update them -- all this does is scare users and generate unecessary support calls.<rant> Introducing behavior like this in a patch (as opposed to a major version upgrade) is also very uncool. We have not started deploying 10.13 yet and continuing surprises like this (and user approved enrollment in 10.13.2) in a minor point release have us considering skipping 10.13 altogether (even if it means holding up new hardware purhases)... </rant>

Trying to figure out why my public test group got rejected and what I need to do to rectify and move forward. Is anyone able to help with this?

Today TestFlight is not allowing to add a group to a new build. When clicking on + icon in group column, the groups are disabled.

Question: As of macOS Big Sur, it is not required for an installer package to be signed or notarized in order for it to be installed via Installer.app or the installer command line tool. Is this still the case on macOS Monterey? If it is not, what requirements have changed? Answer: Restrictions are the same as on macOS Big Sur for installer packages with regards to notarization. Question: Is there any additional guidance from Apple on the installation and use of multiple solutions using System Extensions and/or Network Extensions when it comes to co-habitation? For example, is it supported by Apple to have two Network Filters (each managed by a separate application) installed and active? Answer: Having multiple network system extensions installed is supported by Apple. Multiple content filters are supported on iOS and macOS: iOS: 2 filters maximum macOS: 8 filters maximum Question: As of macOS Big Sur, it is not required for an application to be signed or notarized in order for it to be installed or run on an
