I am having an issue with signing and provisioning a Vision OS app. I have an iOS app and a VisionOS app. Everything works fine on the iOS but having issues with the VisionOS. First, I am having issues with xcodebuild -exportArchive. When I run it on an archive of my VisionOS app I get ** EXPORT FAILED ** error: exportArchive No Accounts error: exportArchive No profiles for 'X' were found Where X is my bundle ID. Meanwhile the iOS app succeeds. This is on a CI machine but I confirmed the distribution provision profile for the vision OS app is installed on the machine. Even if I change the value of the -exportOptionsPlist to the one I used for the iOS project I get this error. Is the issue in the archive itself? The archives are generated from building in Unity and archiving the xcodeproject with xcodebuild archive Second, as a workaround I archived a debug ipa on my machine and uploaded this ipa to my CI machine which has the credentials to sign for distribution. I use this script as an example as how to resign the IPA: https://gist.github.com/lodalo/754a35b48d382ae99b25 I remove the CodeSignatures and codesign both .app and UnityFramework.framework. Using this resigned IPA I get this error when I try to upload to app store connect (via Transporter app and altool) errors: Validation failed (409) Missing or invalid signature. The bundle 'X' at bundle path 'Payload/Y.app' is not signed using an Apple submission certificate. To verify the signing I used codesign -dvvv --entitlements - On both the iOS and VisionOS app and they have the same values under all the Authority fields. Different profiles, of course. So the certificate I used is eligible to upload the iOS app successfully but doesn't work on the VisionOS ipa? Any help on solving any of these issues would be great so I can upload the vision OS app. Thank you!

our app has a helper to perform privileged operations. previously that helper was installed via SMJobBless() into the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ we also had a script that would install the helper from the command-line, which was essential for enterprise users that could not manually install the helper on all their employee's Macs. the script would copy the files to their install location and would use launchctl bootstrap system as the CLI alternative to SMJobBless(). the full script is here: https://pastebin.com/FkzuAWwV due to various issues with the old SMJobBless() approach we have ported to helper to the new SMAppService API where the helpers do not need to be installed but remain within the app bundle ( [[SMAppService daemonServiceWithPlistName:HELPER_PLIST_NAME] registerAndReturnError:&err] ) however, we are having trouble writing a (remote-capable) CLI script to bootstrap the new helper for those users that need to install the helper on many Macs at once. running the trivial sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Applications/MacUpdater.app/Contents/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.corecode.MacUpdaterPrivilegedInstallHelperTool2.plist would just result in a non-informative: Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error various other tries with launchctl bootstrap/kickstart/enable yielded nothing promising. so, whats the command-line way to install a SMAppService based helper daemon? obviously 'installing' means both 'registering' (which we do with registerAndReturnError in the GUI app) and 'approving' (which a GUI user needs to manually do by clicking on the notification or by going into System Settings). thanks in advance! p.s. we wanted to submit this as a DTS TSI, but those are no longer available without spending another day on a reduced sample projects. words fail me. p.p.s. bonus points for a CLI way to give FDA permissions to the app!

I installed MacOS Sequoia 15.4 and now my backup script no longer works. My script is using rsync in this way: rsync -avz —delete —log-file=“$LOG_FILE” “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” This has been working fine for a very long time. After updating to 15.4, this produces the error “rsync: unrecognized action —log-file=/users/admin/logs/backuplog_xxx.log”. The log file path is correct (and hasn’t changed). Interestingly, the man page for rsync no longer shows the —log-file as an option. I know I can use: rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE”` or even rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE” 2>&1` to also capture stderr. However, I liked the output from the built-In log option. Does anyone know why this might have been removed or if there is a way to get it back? Thanks.

Hello, I am working on a script to update an application which bundle ID changed. Only the bundle ID was modified; all other aspects remain unchanged. This application requires access to "Screen & System Audio Recording" permissions, which are currently granted to the old bundle ID. The script performs the following steps: launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) /Library/LaunchAgents/com.my_agent_1.plist pkgutil --forget com.my_agent_1 tccutil reset All com.my_agent_1 rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.my_agent_1.plist rm -rf </path/to/com_my_agent_1> installer -dumplog -allowUntrusted -pkg </path/to/com_my_agent_2.pkg> -target / ... When running steps #1-6 without a restart between steps #5 and #6, the old bundle ID (com.my_agent_1) remains visible in TCC.db (verified via SQL queries). Looks like this is the reason why "com.my_agent_2" is not automatically added to the permission list (requiring manual add). Moreover, "tccutil reset All com.my_agent_1" does not work anymore, the error: tccutil: No such bundle identifier "com.my_agent_1": The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.) Is there any way to completely clear the "Privacy & Security" permissions without requiring a system restart? Thank you a lot for your help in advance!

Whenever I run anything in xcode it opens an extra terminal that runs the program then exits immediately, but the app still runs through the normal xcode launch. It's not a huge issue but It's getting really annoying to realize I have like 7 windows of terminal open that are just doing nothing. Has anyone had this issue before?

Hello, I'm trying to use devicectl to observe Darwin Notifications on my iPhone. Instructions: OVERVIEW: Observe a Darwin notification on a device. Note that this command will wait for 300 seconds by default before exiting. You can override this by providing a different --timeout value. USAGE: devicectl device notification observe --device <uuid|ecid|udid|name> --name <name> ... [--verbose] [--quiet] [--timeout <seconds>] [--json-output <path>] [--log-output <path>] DEVICE OPTIONS: -d, --device <uuid|ecid|udid|name> The identifier, ECID, UDID, or name of the device. COMMAND OPTIONS: --name <name> The name of the Darwin notification. This can be passed multiple times to observe multiple Darwin notifications. OUTPUT OPTIONS: -v, --verbose If given, provide more logging output than normal. -q, --quiet If given, output will include only errors. -t, --timeout <seconds> The overall command timeout in seconds. If this limit is exceeded the command is abandoned as a failure. -j, --json-output <path> An optional path to write a JSON file with command results. Note: JSON output to a user-provided file on disk is the ONLY supported interface for scripts/programs to consume command output. -l, --log-output <path> An optional path to write all logging otherwise passed to stdout/stderr. OPTIONS: --version Show the version. -h, --help Show help information. Executed command: xcrun devicectl device notification observe --device XXX --name com.example.Notification Result: Darwin notification observation started. 300.0 seconds remaining: On iOS, I'm posting a Darwin notification using: CFNotificationCenterPostNotification(center, CFNotificationName("com.example.Notification" as CFString), nil, nil, true) My CFNotificationCenterAddObserver on iOS does receive this notification. But the devicectl does not. Also no results when I remove the observer on iOS. How can I send a notification in such a way that it is picked up by the devicectl observer?

I want to side load a .ipa file from a Mac to iPhone connected to Mac via USB. I don't want to use ABM or enterprise account. Also these can be any number of unknown devices. Is there any way to set this up automatically?

Hi All, I am looking for a terminal command to get the exact same output as the file count you recieve when using Get Info in finder. The closest i can get is using the find command with flags: find 'path/to/folder' -not -path '*/\.*' -and -not -path '*\.key/*' -and -not -path '*\.numbers/*' -and -not -path '*\.pages/*' -and -not -path '*__MACOSX/*' -and -not -path '*\.pdf/*' -and -not -path '*\.app/*' -and -not -path '*\.rtfd/*' | wc -l I will be searching on an external volume that sometimes produces keynote save files that finder sometimes sees as a package and sometimes sees as a folder. If a folder finder counts the items contained if a package it doesn't, I need the command or script to mimic this behaviour. In the example of the screenshot get info on the top folder produces a count of 14 and the find command produces a count of 23. There are also other behaviours that differ the file count between them but i'm not sure what causes them. Any help on a solution it being a command or script would be much apreciated. Thanks, James

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?
