I work for a large medical device company. We have a 1st party BLE enabled medical device that must be very battery efficient. To this end, if a connection is lost, the BLE radio is powered down after 60 seconds and will only turn back on when a physical button on the device is pressed. I've been tasked with connecting to the device, staying connected to the device, and being able to retrieve data from the device upon a timed action. For instance, this could include a data read and transmission while they sleep. The key part of this is staying reliably connected for extended periods of time. This is a BYOD setup, and we cannot control power profiles. I would very much appreciate any information, recommendations, and/or insights into solving this problem. Thanks!

I'm developing software that implements functionality for third party touch screens. It provides features such as having touch gestures trigger mouse clicks and drags, among other possible actions. One of its features allows keyboard focus to return to whichever app originally had it prior to performing a touch gesture. Previously it worked by recording the current frontmost app when a touch action starts, and then when all touch actions have concluded, calling NSRunningApplication.activateWithOptions and passing NSApplicationActivateIgnoringOtherApps. However, in macOS 14 and later, this no longer works, as NSRunningApplication.activateWithOptions is deprecated. The new API provides a way for the current frontmost app to yield frontmost to whichever app is being activated with the new functions NSRunningApplication.yieldActivationToApplication and NSRunningApplication.activate, but in my case it just silently fails, presumably because my app in that moment is not frontmost. (However there is no error code provided for me to be able to find out what exactly the issue is.) Is there a supported way I can fix this feature in macOS 14 and later?

I use the following code to keep the mouse cursor within the bounds of my application window. This causes the mouse cursor to become magnified while hugging the window's edges. Is there a way to prevent this? My clients are building a game, board style with a large map viewed from a top camera. They want the map to pan automatically when the mouse reaches the edge of the window. And they want the mouse cursor to stay confined to the game window. Thank you. CGDisplayMoveCursorToPoint(CGMainDisplayID(), location); // Removes a delay introduced by CGWarpMouseCursorPosition to keep mouse cursor motion fluid while hugging the screen edges CGEventSourceRef eventSourceRef = CGEventSourceCreate(kCGEventSourceStateCombinedSessionState); CGEventSourceSetLocalEventsSuppressionInterval(eventSourceRef, 0);

After replacing Big Sur OSX 11.0 with the latest 11.5, my app's AXObserverAddNotification methods fails. Here is sample code I tested from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/853833/how-can-my-app-detect-a-change-to-another-apps-window AXUIElementRef app = AXUIElementCreateApplication(82695); // the pid for front-running Xcode 12.5.1 CFTypeRef frontWindow = NULL; AXError err = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue( app, kAXFocusedWindowAttribute, &frontWindow );     if ( err != kAXErrorSuccess ){         NSLog(@"failed with error: %i",err);     } NSLog(@"app: %@  frontWindow: %@",app,frontWindow); 'frontWindow' reference is never created and I get the error number -25204. It seems like the latest Big Sur 11.5 has revised the Accessibility API or perhaps there is some permission switch I am unaware of that would make things work. What am I doing wrong?

I am using system_profiler command to check on the installed application list from mac device. **Terminal command to check installed java version - ** But while running /usr/sbin/system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType -xml , I cant able to find Java as an installed application. Is this a known issue or do we have any alternative workaround to fetch the same?

I've been working a lot with the FamilyControls API and App Shield recently but have encountered a problem with no documentation. I used the FamilyActivitySelection to select the app store to shield(This is just for testing), and then printed out the application token: 1wfY¸êB ò S« öi #×(É?âðw ù/jQ ¿ J ïE¢? ·¿ º<Òd?ý r7¥Ãn N átJ¹ÿ85B_{VAF fC8. ,,¸¯3 T7F ±õü; ¹?v@¯ô Ä \-õ# Ò I know the application token is a Codable object so I was wondering, How do I create an application token using the Token<Application> initializer init(from: any Decoder) throws Creates a new instance by decoding from the given decoder. Using the above data? Do I have to encode first in order to decode it? For reference, the code I tried to use is: newValue.applicationTokens.encode(to: JSONEncoder) if let encoded = try? JSONEncoder().encode(newValue.applicationTokens) { data = encoded print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!) } if let app = try? JSONDecoder().decode(Token<Application>.self, from: data) { let token = Application(token: app) print(token) } else { print("didn't work") } But it prints didn't work every time. What should I do differently?

I'm currently working with the FamilyControls API and testing my app on two different devices. Both apps are in the same family-sharing network with one phone being the owner of the network (I'll call this A) and the other one being an adult in the network(I'll call this B). When device A picks apps using the FamilyActivityPicker, it shares that selection with device B (via encoding, sending over network, and decoding on device B). However, interacting with the token (displaying it, using it in shield) throws an error saying the token is null. From the documentation, I thought every token would be the same across all devices in the family sharing network. So my question: How do I send the FamilyActivitySelection from A to B and have the tokens still be functional? Does this functionality only work if A is a "parent" and B is a "child" in the family sharing network? Also, side note: If I reverse the process and send the tokens from B to A. Interacting with the token works exactly as expected. For some reason, it's only going from A to B where it doesn't work.

According to the doc: The value returned is the same as the value returned in the kEventParamKeyCode when using Carbon Events. So where can I find kEventParamKeyCode?

Hi, My iphone 12 has been restarting unexpectedly, and often followed by wifi, bluetooth, and airdrop grayed out. I had to force restart/shutdown several times to turn it on again. Found this analytics after crash. Please help if somebody know what this means: ExcUserFault_CategoriesService-2024-12-23-064503.ips

I have the our device connected , with Assistive Touch enabled and the application running in the foreground. At this point, I place the screen on standby and leave the device unattended for 10 minutes. After this period, I return, unlock the screen, and observe that our app is still running, and the connection with the device is re-initiated. However, something occurs at this stage that causes the application to briefly switch to the background and then immediately return to the foreground. This behavior leads to system instability. Ideally, once the application is running in the foreground, it should not transition to the background automatically. However, it seems to be doing so for a short duration—momentarily switching from the foreground to the background, then back to the foreground—which is causing the observed instability.

I want to make a simple droplet application. I've set the document types to include com.adobe.pdf files, and I am now receiving callbacks to the app delegate's application(_:open:) callback when I drop PDFs on the app icon… But not the first time. It doesn't matter how long I wait, or whether the app is already open—the first drop never triggers the callback. All subequent drops work as expected, and I get URLs to all the files dropped. What might be wrong? How can I debug this?
