Need help fixing Mac game submission rejection related to windowed mode
Hi there, My Mac game submission was rejected for the following reason and a screenshot is also provided in the message: "Guideline 4.0 - Design We noticed an issue with your app's user interface that contributes to a lower-quality user experience than App Store users expect. Specifically, we found that the content is displayed behind the macOS dock when users changes to Windowed mode. (see screenshot) Next Steps Please revise how windows function in your app so that content properly formats when adjusting the window's size. Resources To learn more about App Store design requirements, see App Store Review Guideline 4 - Design. Learn more about designing for macOS in the Human Interface Guidelines." How to fix this?

Copying issue in Mojave
I have a weird issue in an old Mojave based MacBook. The HD drives in the MacBook are 2 SSD. Second drive has replaced the DVD drive. The filesystem on both drives are APFS. Root volume is called MacBook SSD and second volume is called data. Now, If I am in Data volume. I can create folders and copy data from other folders into any other folders within the data volume. Likewise, when I am on the desktop, Documents etc. I can copy files between folders. Problem is arising, when I copy contents from a folder in my root volume into the data volume. It pops up an -36 error and the copying is painfully slow. Likewise, if I attached a USB HD and copy any content from my external HD to /volume/data, it gives me the same -36 error. But if I copy a folder from /volume/data and paste it into my Ext HD, there is no issue. So the issue is between inter drives. I tried the dot_clean /volume/data/any folder name/ in the Terminal and no effect. I am using windows to type this post and so cant remember the exact words of the error. I remember, the error also mentioned something about ds_store and -36 error number. This happens with all folders. I am unable to copy folders from Root volume to Data vol and vice versa. Any suggestion?? Many thanks in advance Cheers

SMB-Multichannel is incomplete or broken
I know this is a bit late in the Sonoma beta-program, but I wanted to ask here, since I got directed here by Apple support, even though it appears I got Sonoma-14.0 release a day before the non-beta users. And/or I want leave a marker for others with the same needs. I have a 2019 Mac Pro with a dual-port 100GbE ATTO card in it. I run Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve and Autodesk Flame. I would like to do editing and color correcting 4K and 8K frame-based video. 8K video is 4.5GB/sec per DPX stream. (not Gigabit). I connect to a SMB server which is all flash, and runs SMB-Multichannel. This same NIC in a windows box can run 9GB/sec. but in the MacPro, it gets about 3GB/sec. if you run netstat, smbutil, or "nettop" (the builtin MacOS utility) it shows only ONE TCP socket talking to my server on port 445. This is the reason it goes no faster than 3GB/sec. Windows shows 8 or 16, whatever I set it to number of RSS channels, and goes full speed of the NIC. When is MacOS SMB-Multi-channel going to be multi-channel on one NIC port and perform at 8 or 9 GB/sec for a 100Gbit Nic? Nobody wants SMB-MC for "active/passive backup" they want it to go FAST. To prove it is single channel you see only one line: Mac-Pro ~ % netstat -an | grep 445 tcp4 0 0 172.200.5.77.49309 172.200.203.5.445 ESTABLISHED Mac-Pro ~ % smbutil multichannel -a Session: /Volumes/rob-smb Info: Setup Time: 2023-09-25 18:09:01, Multichannel ON: yes, Reconnect Count: 0 Total RX Bytes: 72216 (Packets: 193) Total TX Bytes: 52051 (Packets: 193) id client IF server IF state server ip port speed ======================================================================================================================== M 0 en8 (Ethernet) 16 7 (RSS_0) [session active ] 172.200.203.5 445 100.0 Gb Server NIC: name: NA, idx: 7, type: NA, speed 100.0 Gb, state connected ip_addr: 172.200.203.5 capabilities: RSS_CAPABLE ...see that last line? I would think RSS_CAPABLE means I should be able to connect with multiple SMB channels up to the number of RSS channels configured on the NIC. iperf2 gets > 80Gbit/sec on this 100Gbit ATTO Fastframe with 8 flows (-P 8). So it's not an under-performing network. The results are with or without any "third party ATTO drivers", so please don't blame it on them, because the MacOS mlx5 driver performs the same. It's the SMB client in Big Sur, Catalina, Ventura, Sonoma, which seems to be incomplete.

Are the above warnings will affect my data integrity in the future ? If so what should I do to get rid all of those warnings. I can still use my M1 Macbook Air without any issues so far. But I worry this warnings will create further damage in the future. Thank you guys.

Xcode 15 Issue: React Native App Won't Run or Build
I recently updated to Xcode 15 and have encountered a frustrating issue with my React Native app. Before the update, everything was working perfectly, but now I'm unable to run or build my project. I would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this problem. Issue: After updating to Xcode 15, my React Native app is not working as expected.

Additional Information: I have ensured that my Node.js and React Native dependencies are up-to-date. I've tried cleaning the project and deleting derived data, but the issue persists. Xcode 15 is up to date, and I've also updated my macOS to the latest version. Steps I've Tried: Cleaned the project. Deleted derived data. Reinstalled Xcode. Updated NPM packages. Checked for Xcode updates. Verified the Xcode build settings. Environment: macOS version: macOS Sonoma 14 Xcode version: 15.0 Node.js version: 20

macOS 14.2b2 and b3 kill Photoshop 24.x and 25.x
Something significant changed between MacOS 14.2b1 and the subsequent betas of 14.2. Photoshop, which has been running fine up to the first beta, suddenly refuses to run. The splash screen shows and then the application dies. I've been in communication with Adobe about this, and from the logs they can see that the problem is with MacOS. While this is not a crisis for me since I have three other machines running either 14.2b1, 14.1.1 and 14.1.1, I can complete my tasks, but this is an annoying problem. Attached is a log from beta 3 just to illustrate the problem. ACPL__2023-11-09_22-40-47.131385Z_00.log Just for the record, what is the most efficient way to roll back to the current released version of Sonoma. I've got multiple system backups, so restoration isn't an issue. Just looking for an approach that doesn't require half a day if possible.
