I'm getting some Crash Reports for an app of mine that's on the Mac App Store. A few details: -All the crash reports are on ARM-64 Macs. -The call stack shows my app calling NSURL's -getResourceValue:forKey: method with NSURLLocalizedNameKey, which is the last call made by my app before the crash. After that crash logs look like this: **Thread 0 Crashed: 0   libobjc.A.dylib               0x00000001a623c4b0 objc_retain + 16 1   LaunchServices                0x00000001a6954f68 -[FSNode(PathAndName) nameWithError:] + 72 2   LaunchServices                0x00000001a6a36278 +[_LSDisplayNameConstructor(ConstructForAnyFile) displayNameConstructorWithContextIfNeeded:bundle:bundleClass:node:preferredLocalizations:error:] + 2732 3   LaunchServices                0x00000001a6a357ac +[_LSDisplayNameConstructor(ConstructForAnyFile) displayNameConstructorWithContextIfNeeded:node:error:] + 44 4   LaunchServices                0x00000001a6ae5b20 LaunchServices::URLPropertyProvider::getDisplayNameConstructor(LaunchServices::Database::Context&, FSNode*, LaunchServices::URLPropertyProvider::State*, NSError* __autoreleasing*) + 88 5   LaunchServices                0x00000001a6ae1930 LaunchServices::URLPropertyProvider::prepareLocalizedNameValue(LaunchServices::Database::Context&, FSNode*, __FileCache*, __CFString const*, LaunchServices::URLPropertyProvider::State*, NSError* __autoreleasing*) + 328 6   LaunchServices                0x00000001a6953d6c LaunchServices::URLPropertyProvider::prepareValues(__CFURL const*, __FileCache*, __CFString const* const*, void const**, long, void const*, __CFError**) + 456 7   CoreServicesInternal          0x00000001a8def6f0 prepareValuesForBitmap(__CFURL const*, __FileCache*, _FilePropertyBitmap*, __CFError**) + 452 8   CoreServicesInternal          0x00000001a8dec5ec _FSURLCopyResourcePropertyForKeyInternal(__CFURL const*, __CFString const*, void*, void*, __CFError**, unsigned char) + 236 9   CoreFoundation                0x00000001a64546b0 CFURLCopyResourcePropertyForKey + 144 10  CoreFoundation                0x00000001a646b944 -[NSURL getResourceValue:forKey:error:] + 120** -- I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my ARM-64 Mac.

We've been working with VMWare on a ticket related to slow upload/download transfers using the VMWare API/SDK on Mac. They believe the root cause is below.  The slow performance is caused by Apple's authentication subsystem (PAM/opendrectoryd) being slow and using a lot of CPU. The security for guestOps file transfer requires an authn check for every packet, packets are limited to ~60k bytes due to the underlying arch; hence every 60k bytes of data has a ~.2 second overhead for the authn. (We see no such delays for Linux or Windows.) Does anyone have any experience with PAM/opendirectoryd who might be able be help me?

A puzzling phenomenon occurs in obtaining the week number. Please see the attached source. In Step 0, the correct week number can be obtained according to ISO8601. In Step 1, by changing minimumDaysInFirstWeek, a new (correct) week number can be obtained. In Step 2, if I re-set the firstWeekday, for some reason the week number reverts back to the original, even though the value has not been changed. Shouldn't Step2 return 1 for both weekOfMonth and weekOfYear? I have verified this with XCode 13.4 playground. Thanks in advance. import Foundation var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .iso8601) let date = calendar.date(from: DateComponents(year: 2022, month: 1, day: 1)) print("*** Step 0 ***") print("firstWeekday : \(calendar.firstWeekday)") print("minimumDaysInFirstWeek : \(calendar.minimumDaysInFirstWeek)") print("weekOfMonth : \(calendar.component(.weekOfMonth, from: date!))") print("weekOfYear : \(calendar.component(.weekOfYear, from: date!))") print("\n*** Step 1 ***") calendar.minimumDaysInFirstWeek = 1 print("firstWeekday : \(calendar.firstWeekday)") print("minimumDaysInFirstWeek : \(calendar.minimumDaysInFirstWeek)") print("weekOfMonth : \(calendar.component(.weekOfMonth, from: date!))") print("weekOfYear : \(calendar.component(.weekOfYear, from: date!))") print("\n*** Step 2 ***") calendar.firstWeekday = 2 print("firstWeekday : \(calendar.firstWeekday)") print("minimumDaysInFirstWeek : \(calendar.minimumDaysInFirstWeek)") print("weekOfMonth : \(calendar.component(.weekOfMonth, from: date!))") print("weekOfYear : \(calendar.component(.weekOfYear, from: date!))") Result *** Step 0 *** firstWeekday : 2 minimumDaysInFirstWeek : 4 weekOfMonth : 0 weekOfYear : 52 *** Step 1 *** firstWeekday : 2 minimumDaysInFirstWeek : 1 weekOfMonth : 1 weekOfYear : 1 *** Step 2 *** firstWeekday : 2 minimumDaysInFirstWeek : 1 weekOfMonth : 0 weekOfYear : 52

I'm working on an app where we want to upload data every 5 minutes or so to a cloud server even if the app is in the background. We're able to receive data from a BLE sensor in the background, but couldn't find anything on uploading the data consistently. We think it should be possible due to products like the Dexcom glucose monitoring system which uploads data from the background every 5 minutes. Any idea on how we'd go about doing this?

Apple's Certificate Transparency policy says that Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) are accepted from TLS extension or OCSP Stapling in addition to the SCTs embedded in the certificate. If we're implementing our own Certificate Transparency enforcement in code written using URLSession, is there a way to obtain SCTs that were presented via TLS extension or OCSP Stapling? I'm able to get the SCTs from the certificate by calling SecCertificateCopyValues with "1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.4.2" inside the urlSession(_:didReceive:completionHandler:) delegate function. I see that there are functions for adding TLS/OCSP SCTs to the ServerTrust, but I don't see any functions for getting them out, and I don't know if URLSession would be including those SCTs in the ServerTrust automatically anyway. Is there any way to get these other SCTs using URLSession? Or would I have to drop down to Network Framework to do that? Thanks for any help.

recently my app published on app store facing some issue after i have implemented cloudflare and mtls to enhance security feature. Before that, when the API failed, i can receive http error code such as 403, 401 and etc. but after mtls is activated, all those failed http call is block by AppTransportSecurity layer and i can only receive 999 and error message as "URLSessionTask failed with error: The erver "***.***.com" requires a client certificate." i have read through Apple document, it says Apple introduce this security layer by default to ensure network security without known weakness https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CocoaKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009251-SW35 does anyone have come across similar issue like this before?

I'm getting errors when I use NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedUnarchiver that works with iOS 15.5 but not with iOS 12.4 nor iOS 12.5.5. I have tried combinations of using devices and simulators. The error message appears in the Xcode debug window when the catch scope handles an error that occurs when the following statement executes: try NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchivedObject(ofClass: CNGroup.self, from: dataToUnarchive) Here is what prints in the Xcode debug window for Error.localizedDescription: The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. Here is what prints in the Xcode debug window when only the Error object is put in the print statement parentheses: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x62, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x4)" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x62, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x4)} I found an answer to a similar question like this in Apple Developer Forums which had to do with NSCoder that indicated that the older iOS expects the Data object not to use secure coding, my code as this post concerns is not using secure coding. There are stackoverflow questions that deal with similar questions to mine, but they are very old and they deal with different facets of NSCoder. The following are the respective function definitions for archive(cnGroup:completionHandler:) and unarchive(dataOfCNGroup:completionHandler) that I use. Definition for unarchive(dataOfCNGroup:completionHandler) func archive(cnGroup: CNGroup, completionHandler: @escaping (Result<Data, Error>)->Void) { do { if #available(iOS 11.0, *) { let data: Data = try NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: cnGroup, requiringSecureCoding: false) completionHandler(.success(data)) } else { let data: Data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: cnGroup) completionHandler(.success(data)) } } catch { completionHandler(.failure(error)) } } // func archive(...) {...} Definition for archive(cnGroup:completionHandler:) func unarchive(dataOfCNGroup dataToUnarchive: Data, completionHandler: @escaping (Result<CNGroup, Error>)->Void) { print("func unarchive(dataOfCNGroup dataToUnarchive: Data, completionHandler: @escaping (Result<CNGroup, Error>)->Void)") do { if let unwrappedUnarchivedCNGroup: CNGroup = try NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchivedObject(ofClass: CNGroup.self, from: dataToUnarchive) { completionHandler(.success(unwrappedUnarchivedCNGroup)) } else { let nsError = NSError(domain: "func unarchive(dataOfCNGroup dataToUnarchive: Data, completionHandler: @escaping (Result<CNGroup, Error>?)->Void)", code: #line, userInfo: nil) let error: Error = nsError completionHandler(.failure(error)) return } } catch { print("catch error in unarchive(dataOfCNGroup:_:) on line \(#line)") print("\(error.localizedDescription)") completionHandler(.failure(error)) } } // func unarchive(...) {...}

Hi, I'm trying to display a string containing the number of the largest given time unit for the time since as given date - i.e. "2 Months Ago" or "1 Week Ago". DateComponentsFormatter appears to be a useful tool for this (the app targets iOS 10.2), however it doesn't seem to be formatting the number of weeks consistently. This is how I'm setting up the formatter: import Foundation let day = 60*60*24 let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter() formatter.calendar = Calendar.current formatter.allowedUnits = [.hour, .day, .weekOfMonth, .month] formatter.unitsStyle = .full formatter.maximumUnitCount = 1 formatter.allowsFractionalUnits = false formatter.zeroFormattingBehavior = .dropAll For the given range, I would expect 8-13 to use "1 week", but this doesn't seem to be the case: (0..40).forEach {   print("\($0): \(formatter.string(from: TimeInterval(day * $0))!)") } The actual output of this is: 0: 0 hours 1: 1 day 2: 2 days 3: 3 days 4: 4 days 5: 5 days 6: 6 days 7: 1 week 8: 2 weeks 9: 2 weeks 10: 2 weeks 11: 2 weeks 12: 2 weeks 13: 1 week 14: 2 weeks 15: 2 weeks 16: 2 weeks 17: 2 weeks 18: 2 weeks 19: 2 weeks 20: 2 weeks 21: 3 weeks 22: 3 weeks 23: 3 weeks 24: 3 weeks 25: 3 weeks 26: 3 weeks 27: 3 weeks 28: 4 weeks 29: 4 weeks 30: 4 weeks 31: 1 month 32: 1 month 33: 1 month 34: 1 month 35: 1 month 36: 1 month 37: 1 month 38: 1 month 39: 1 month Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I have a Settings.bundle for my app Roughly, which tells the approximate time in words (e.g. it's about quarter to six) in a complication. It supports a number of languages, but I allow people to use a different language to their own, to help them learn how to tell the time in another language. The preference switch works fine in the Watch app on the iPhone, but if a user downloads the app direct from the App Store to their watch, there is no way for them to access those preferences. The preferences do not appear in the Watch app without the iOS app present on the iPhone. Does anyone have a good solution to this? Do I have to offer a preferences switch in the app itself?

#define KdownloadsPath NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDownloadsDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES).firstObject _downloadedPath = [KdownloadsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName]; _downloadingPath = [_downloadedPath stringByAppendingString:@".download"]; NSDictionary* info = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:         @"NSProgressFileOperationKindDownloading", @"NSProgressFileOperationKindKey",         [NSURL fileURLWithPath:_downloadingPath], @"NSProgressFileURLKey",         nil]; self.progress = [[NSProgress alloc] initWithParent:nil userInfo:info]; [self.progress setKind:@"NSProgressKindFile"]; [self.progress setPausable:NO]; [self.progress setCancellable:YES]; [self.progress setTotalUnitCount:_totalBytes]; [self.progress publish]; (updating the progress indicator happens elsewhere) I'm creating an NSProgress object to show a progress indicator underneat a file in my Downloads directory. The entitlements includes com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write. The indicator does not show when NSProgressFileURLKey points to the sandboxed file path, e.g. /Users/mdbraber/Library/Containers/com.mdbraber.TestApp/Data/Downloads/Test.pptx.download. It does work when NSProgressFileURLKey points to the direct download location which the sandbox links to e.g. /Users/mdbraber/Downloads/Test.pptx.download Is this a bug or should I use something else for NSProgressFileURLKey to make this work?

As a follow-up to a Networking lab conversation I had on Tuesday I have the following question: Is there a way to use nscurl to connect to a server that requires client authentication by providing a client certificate? None of the documented options seem to allow that, but maybe there is an undocumented one...
