Hello, I received the error message from Transporter when trying to upload an app exported from XCode 12.0 -> "com.apple.developer.game-center not supported on IOS devices". Now it's not needed this entitlement? Thanks. Regards Víctor

Hi forum! I'm a n00b in apple development, so I apologise in advance if something is very wrong. I have a python app for MacOS that I am deploying with pyinstaller (thus I am NOT using Xcode). The app is to be deployed through github not through the app store. I could sign it and notarize it and it works. However, the app needs to run some external unsigned code (like a plugin). The hardened runtime blocks that, so I need to add entitlements. I've done it as it's explained in many other places with codesign. It seems to work but when I run the app, it crashes immediately with EXC_CRASH (Code signature invalid). The crash doesn't happen unless I add the entitlements. Now my questions: how do I make my situation work? Do I need a provisioning profile? The entitlements I am trying to add (hardened runtime-related) are not restricted AFAIK, so I don't think I do? If I need a provisioning profile, how can I add it to the app after it's bundled with pyinstaller? Thank you so much! Francesco

How to integrate native Java backend with macOS catalyst app UI? My UI is SwiftUI/macCatalyst, using entitlements for voice recognition and microphone. My back-end is from a large legacy Java code base rendered to native x86_64 binary. For now they interface via stdio streams established by the native java command launching the UI app. This works fine when the Java code runs on a JDK. When native backend launches the UI app, the UI app fails to secure permissions (but otherwise works fine) Same result when the backend is bundled with the app as if a command-line tool Solution constraints: Unlike the sample app/docs that integrate a command-line tool into an app, this binary cannot be built using XCode's Clang I'd like to continue using macCatalyst, knowing this can't be deployed to iOS proper, only to macOS. I can make the UI launch the backend, but don't want to do this without some assurance it would fix things :) I'd rather not work through the calling conventions/wrappers to staticly link these binaries now. Assuming the parent process needs the app entitlements, I tried: To embed the java binary into the SwiftUI app?: Following instructions for embedding a command-line app did not configure the backend binary with the entitlements? Deploy the java binary standalone as an app with the proper entitlements? Similar to above: unable to figure out how Pointers to docs welcome. I've seen Embedding Nonstandard Code Structures in a Bundle Embedding a command-line tool in a sandboxed app Ideally I'd like to know how to deliver an app whose binary is entirely build using Java native (including proper entitle/sign/credential/notorize/sandbox...) Thanks!

I'm getting ready to release a new app that uses CloudKit. I just deployed my Development schema to Production in CloudKit dashboard. Is there a way to run my app from Xcode using the CloudKit Production environment for testing? Details of how to test in the production environment are described here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DataManagement/Conceptual/CloudKitQuickStart/TestingYourApp/TestingYourApp.html But would be faster (and easier for debugging potential issues) if I could select tell Xcode to use the production environment when running from the debugger. Is this supported? Thanks

Is something changed in request form for multicast permission? When I try to enter request page https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/networking-multicast I've get "Sorry, you cannot view this page." I am a developer account owner, all agreements is accepted. How can I request this permission for my app for now?

Sandbox is set to no in the entitlements file. Settings → security & privacy → privacy → accessibility is enabled for the app. Can detect global mouse events. Can't use accessibility features: let systemWideElement: AXUIElement = AXUIElementCreateSystemWide() var focusedElement : AnyObject? let error = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue( systemWideElement, kAXFocusedUIElementAttribute as CFString, &focusedElement ) print(focusedElement) // this prints `nil` Can't execute applescripts ( NSAppleScript() ) Can't send keypress events ( CGEvent().post() ) Also, if i compile the executable with swiftc from terminal and then run from terminal, the app is able to access these features. Are there other xcode settings I need to change or are they always blocked when building from xcode?

Hi everybody. I got stuck with the problem. I want to use "Sign in with Apple" capability in application signed with Developer ID certificate. I enable this entitlement in my App Store Connect for my App ID, generate the provision profile, download it in Xcode but it writes me that my provision profile does not support "Sign In with Apple" capability. Please clarify my anybody, is it possible to use "Sign in with Apple" capability in applications signed with Developer ID certificate?

Hi. I'm experimenting with some code that calls INFocusStatusCenter.default.requestAuthorization How can I revoke the authorisation on macOS so it will trigger the prompt again? Thanks.
