I am planning a Core Data migration for a macOS app targeting macOS 12 and later and I would appreciate guidance on structuring the rollout to minimise risk. Context The app currently uses a SQLite store located at: ~/Library/Containers/com.company.AppName/Data/Library/Application Support/AppName I want to: Relocate the persistent store to an app group container: ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.company.AppName Perform schema migration, including: Renaming attributes Deleting attributes Using a custom NSEntityMigrationPolicy subclass Adopt iCloud sync using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer Potentially leverage staged migration (macOS 14+) Additionally, I intend to port the app to iOS, so the end state needs to support an app group container and CloudKit with the latest schema from the outset. Questions Store relocation vs schema migration Is it advisable to perform store relocation and schema migration in a single step, or should these be separate releases? If combined, are there pitfalls when moving the SQL

Many times the device totally lost connectivity, WIFI is completely down, no ip was assigned after device wakeup. From system log I can see BPF socket for DHCP was closed and detached right after attached to en0 in DHCP INIT phase, as result even the DHCP server sent back OFFER(I see server sent OFFER back from packet capture), but there is no persistent BPF socket since it is closed reception during the entire INIT phase. It is definitely an OS issue, is it a known issue? Please help understand Why BPF socket was close right after sending DISCOVER?

I’m prototyping a personal-use system that lets an iPhone with a physically attached controller act as an input device for a Mac. End goal: Use the iPhone as the transport and sensor host Use the attached physical controller for buttons/sticks Map the iPhone gyroscope to the controller’s right stick to get gyro aim in Mac games / cloud-streamed games such as GeForce NOW that don't support the gyro. What I’m trying to understand is whether Apple supports any path for this on macOS that does NOT require restricted entitlements or paid-program-only capabilities. What I’ve already found: CoreHID virtual HID device creation appears to require com.apple.developer.hid.virtual.device HIDDriverKit / system extensions appear to require Apple-granted entitlements as well GCVirtualController does not seem to solve the problem because I need a controller-visible device that other apps can see, not just controls inside my own app So my concrete question is: Is there any supported, entitlement-free way for a personal macOS

Hello Xcode 26.0.1 (17A400) Missing some Metal components When building a program using Metal, it induces an unexpected error : “error: error: cannot execute tool 'metal' due to missing Metal Toolchain; use: xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain Command CompileMetalFile failed with a nonzero exit code” Which terminates the build The fix given “xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain” using sudo does not work Did someone find a work around or could resolve the issue? Many thanks Jean MacBook Air M4; macOS 26.0.1; Xcode 26.0.1

Previous app download metrics in App Store Connect (before the recent redesign of metrics) did provide a split of download numbers by country. This was very useful information. New metrics (after redesign) seem to only provide total app downloads numbers. The split by country is gone. How can I get figures for downloads by country? Using country/region filters seems to be no option because I would have to know which countries to filter for. If I want to see how my app downloads split by country how can I do that? Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I’m looking for clarification on TN3134: Network Extension provider deployment, specifically iOS deployment requirements for: packet tunnel provider DNS proxy provider From the documentation: Packet Tunnel Provider App extension (min iOS 9.0): per-app mode requires a managed device DNS Proxy Provider App extension (min iOS 11.0): supervised devices only App extension (min iOS 11.0): per-app mode requires managed devices Issue I implemented a DNS proxy using NEDNSProxyManager. Works as expected in debug builds on a local device Fails to configure when distributed via TestFlight Console Output (TestFlight build) error 10:05:39.872258-0500 nehelper The production version of *** is not allowed to create DNS proxy configurations. Use MDM to create DNS Proxy configurations for the production version of ***. Question Is it possible to distribute a DNS proxy provider for use on non-MDM / non-supervised devices? If not: Is the limitation strictly enforced at distribution/runtime? Is a packet tunn

I am experiencing a UI issue after migrating my app from Xcode 16 to Xcode 26. In my implementation, I have a toolbar that contains multiple buttons along with a dropdown menu. The hierarchy for dropdown is as follows: **Toolbar → ToolbarItem → View → Menu → Picker ** Prior to Xcode 26, this setup worked smoothly in production builds. The dropdown (Menu + Picker) behaves as expected, and selecting a value triggers loading a dataset containing thousands of records on the screen. However, after upgrading to Xcode 26, I am observing an animation glitch when dismissing the dropdown after a selection is made. Specifically, the dropdown briefly shows a “capsule-like” animation artifact during dismissal, which persists for a few seconds. This visual issue is noticeable and negatively impacts the perceived performance and user experience of the app. This issue is occurring in an already released app built with Xcode 26. Questions: Is this a known issue or regression in Xcode 26 / SwiftUI Menu or Picker compo

Hi everyone, We’re currently porting a high-fidelity AA+ PC title built on Unreal Engine 5.7 to macOS (Apple Silicon), and we’re looking for guidance from anyone with experience in this area. At the moment, the game is already runnable on Mac, but not yet at a playable level — we’re seeing performance around 10–15 FPS on an M4 device. We’re actively analyzing and defining the work needed to reach production-quality performance on macOS. One of the key areas we’re exploring is leveraging MetalFX to improve frame rate. However, it seems there’s no official MetalFX plugin or direct integration available for Unreal Engine. Has anyone here successfully integrated MetalFX into a UE5 rendering pipeline, or found a recommended approach to do so? Any insights on best practices, workflows, or references (docs, samples, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
