Hello, I’ve run into some strange behavior with the macOS System Extension using a Packet Tunnel. The issue showed up after the device went to sleep while the VPN was running. When I woke the computer, the VPN tried to reconnect but never succeeded — it just stayed stuck in the “connecting” state. I was able to turn the VPN off, but every attempt to turn it back on failed and got stuck at “connecting” again. Even removing the VPN configuration from Settings didn’t help. The only thing that worked was disabling the system extension completely. While checking the logs, I noticed thousands of identical log messages appearing within just a few seconds: nesessionmanager(562) deny(1) system-fsctl (_IO "h" 47) 17:11:52.481498+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5454 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481568+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5454 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481580+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5454 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481587+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5454 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481646+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5446 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481664+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5446 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481671+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5446 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481676+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5446 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481682+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5446 com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481687+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: got On Demand start message from pid 5446 com.apple.networkextension After the burst of these repeated messages, I started seeing logs like the following: 17:11:52.481759+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Spotify Helper[69038] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481790+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Spotify Helper[69038]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481949+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Spotify Helper[69038] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481966+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Spotify Helper[69038]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481986+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Spotify Helper[69038] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.481992+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Spotify Helper[69038]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482003+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Spotify Helper[69038] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482011+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Spotify Helper[69038]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482022+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Spotify Helper[69038] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482028+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Spotify Helper[69038]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482039+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Spotify Helper[69038] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482049+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Spotify Helper[69038]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482060+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from Slack Helper[84828] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482069+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from Slack Helper[84828]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482079+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Received a start command from sharingd[764] com.apple.networkextension 17:11:52.482086+0200 NESMVPNSession[Primary Tunnel:Secure DNS: Skip a start command from sharingd[764]: session in state connecting com.apple.networkextension It is clear that the connection is in a loop of submitting request to start and then failing. This problem occured only after sleep on macOS 26.0 and 15.6. This issue only occured after the system woke up from sleep. macOS 15.6 and 26.0. Is this a known problem, and how should I go about troubleshooting or resolving it?

Hello, On macOS 26 (Tahoe), when building a OSX app that includes GameKit code, calling GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler shows the "Sign In to Game Center" alert (e.g. didShowFullscreenSignIn) — even if the app does not have the Game Center capability enabled or any related entitlement (com.apple.developer.game-center). This alert only appears when the user is not signed in to Game Center in system settings. However, when testing the same code path on iOS app built with macOS 26 (Tahoe), the alert does not appear unless the proper capability and entitlement are included. This behavior is different from macOS 15 (Sequoia) + Xcode 15.x. Prior to the update, Game Center features did not work at all even with the OSX app without Capability and Entitlements. Steps to Reproduce Create a new OSX app target (App Sandbox enabled, no Game Center capability). Add minimal GameKit code: GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler = { _, _, _ in } Build OSX app and run on macOS 26 (Tahoe). Ensure Game Center is signed out in System Settings. Observe: “Sign In to Game Center” alert appears automatically. Expected Behavior When Game Center capability and entitlement are not present, authenticateHandler should fail silently, and no signIn alert should appear. Actual Behavior On OSX app, the Game Center signIn UI appears even without any Game Center capability or entitlement. On iOS app, this alert does not appear. *Build Configuration: built with the same condition. (macOS 26 + Xcode 26) Question Could you please confirm whether this behavior is an intentional change in macOS 26 or a bug only for OSX apps in the GameKit authentication flow? Thank you.

Hello, I am trying to capture screen recording ( output.mp4 ) using ScreenCaptureKit and also the mouse positions during the recording ( mouse.json ). The recording and the mouse positions ( tracked based on mouse movements events only ) needs to be perfectly synced in order to add effects in post editing. I started off by using the await stream?.startCapture() and after that starting my mouse tracking function :- try await captureEngine.startCapture(configuration: config, filter: filter, recordingOutput: recordingOutput) let captureStartTime = Date() mouseTracker?.startTracking(with: captureStartTime) But every time I tested, there is a clear inconsistency in sync between the recorded video and the recorded mouse positions. The only thing I want is to know when exactly does the recording "actually" started so that I can start the mouse capture at that same time, and thus I tried using the Delegates, but being able to set them up perfectly. import Foundation import AVFAudio import ScreenCaptureKit import OSLog import Combine class CaptureEngine: NSObject, @unchecked Sendable { private let logger = Logger() private(set) var stream: SCStream? private var streamOutput: CaptureEngineStreamOutput? private var recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput? private let videoSampleBufferQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.francestudio.phia.VideoSampleBufferQueue") private let audioSampleBufferQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.francestudio.phia.AudioSampleBufferQueue") private let micSampleBufferQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.francestudio.phia.MicSampleBufferQueue") func startCapture(configuration: SCStreamConfiguration, filter: SCContentFilter, recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) async throws { // Create the stream output delegate. let streamOutput = CaptureEngineStreamOutput() self.streamOutput = streamOutput do { stream = SCStream(filter: filter, configuration: configuration, delegate: streamOutput) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .screen, sampleHandlerQueue: videoSampleBufferQueue) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .audio, sampleHandlerQueue: audioSampleBufferQueue) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .microphone, sampleHandlerQueue: micSampleBufferQueue) self.recordingOutput = recordingOutput recordingOutput.delegate = self try stream?.addRecordingOutput(recordingOutput) try await stream?.startCapture() } catch { logger.error("Failed to start capture: \(error.localizedDescription)") throw error } } func stopCapture() async throws { do { try await stream?.stopCapture() } catch { logger.error("Failed to stop capture: \(error.localizedDescription)") throw error } } func update(configuration: SCStreamConfiguration, filter: SCContentFilter) async { do { try await stream?.updateConfiguration(configuration) try await stream?.updateContentFilter(filter) } catch { logger.error("Failed to update the stream session: \(String(describing: error))") } } func stopRecordingOutputForStream(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) throws { try self.stream?.removeRecordingOutput(recordingOutput) } } // MARK: - SCRecordingOutputDelegate extension CaptureEngine: SCRecordingOutputDelegate { func recordingOutputDidStartRecording(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) { let startTime = Date() logger.info("Recording output did start recording \(startTime)") } func recordingOutputDidFinishRecording(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) { logger.info("Recording output did finish recording") } func recordingOutput(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput, didFailWithError error: any Error) { logger.error("Recording output failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } private class CaptureEngineStreamOutput: NSObject, SCStreamOutput, SCStreamDelegate { private let logger = Logger() override init() { super.init() } func stream(_ stream: SCStream, didOutputSampleBuffer sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer, of outputType: SCStreamOutputType) { guard sampleBuffer.isValid else { return } switch outputType { case .screen: break case .audio: break case .microphone: break @unknown default: logger.error("Encountered unknown stream output type:") } } func stream(_ stream: SCStream, didStopWithError error: Error) { logger.error("Stream stopped with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } I am getting error Value of type 'SCRecordingOutput' has no member 'delegate' Even though I am targeting macOs 15+ ( macOs 26 actually ) and macOs only. What is the best way to achieving the desired result? Is there any other / better way to do it?

I am currently developing a macOS app that can show system HUDs in the Notch Till Sequoia I used to kill the OSDUIHelper process (which displays the default macOS Volume and Brightness control HUDs) - and replaced it with my app's HUDs But, it is not working on macOS Tahoe anymore as the OSDUIHelper process is no longer there due to the UI changes Has the process been renamed - or is there any other way to kill the process?

I am facing an issue while trying to staple a notarization ticket to my signed macOS installer package. Details of my setup: The .pkg file is signed using my Developer ID Installer certificate. The app inside the package is signed using my Developer ID Application certificate. Notarization via xcrun notarytool completes successfully with status: Accepted. However, the stapler command fails with the following error: xcrun stapler staple -v /Users/mac-test/Desktop/IPMPlus_Arm_Installer_signed.pkg Processing: /Users/mac-test/Desktop/IPMPlus_Arm_Installer_signed.pkg Could not validate ticket for /Users/mac-test/Desktop/IPMPlus_Arm_Installer_signed.pkg The staple and validate action failed! Error 65. I verified that all other Apple notarization-related servers (api.apple-cloudkit.com, gs.apple.com, ocsp.apple.com, ocsp2.apple.com, crl.apple.com, developer.apple.com) are reachable. However, the domain cdn-apple-cloudkit.apple.com cannot be resolved from any network, including mobile or public Wi-Fi. Both dig and nslookup return “No answer” even when using external DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1. It appears that cdn-apple-cloudkit.apple.com might be required during the stapler validation process, but the DNS for this domain is not resolving. Could you please confirm whether this CDN endpoint is required for stapling, and if there is currently an outage or configuration issue with cdn-apple-cloudkit.apple.com?

I admit I am doing something unusual, and I would not be surprised if it didn't work. I am surprised, however, because after performing the equivalent operations on four bundles, all of the bundles work fine on macOS 15.6.1, but only two of them work on macOS 26.1 (beta 2). I don't know what causes the different outcomes. What I am trying to do is get Java to pass the macOS 26 AppKit UI SDK linkage checking without having to rebuild the JDK using Xcode 26. Rebuilding works for the latest SDK, but it is very inconvenient and may not work for older JDKs. It usually takes a while before the JDK build team successfully transitions to a new Xcode release. My approach is to use vtool to update the sdk version in the LC_BUILD_VERSION load command of $JAVA_HOME/bin/java, which is the launching executable for the JDK. I performed this operation on four JDKs: 25, 21, 17, and 11. (I ran vtool on macOS 15.) It was completely successful on JDK 25 and 21. The JDK launches correctly on macOS 15 and macOS 26. On macOS 26, AppKit uses the new UI, which is the desired outcome. The JDK runs despite that fact that I signed the modified $JAVA_HOME/bin/java with my developer ID, which is inconsistent with the JDK bundle signature. (Redoing the bundle signing is part of the JDK build process; if that were necessary, I would stick with rebuilding the JDK.) The operation was not successful on JDK 17 and 11. I noticed two problems, which are not obviously related. When vtool created the new version of the java program, it lost the tool definition. $ vtool -show-build-version java java: Load command 10 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 32 platform MACOS minos 11.0 sdk 11.1 ntools 1 tool LD version 609.8 $ vtool -set-build-version 1 10.0 26.0 -output a.out java /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/vtool warning: code signature will be invalid for a.out $ vtool -show-build-version a.out a.out: Load command 22 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 24 platform MACOS minos 10.0 sdk 26.0 ntools 0 Adding back the tool definition didn't seem to matter. When I try to run the revised executable (in the context of the JDK bundle), it works on macOS 15, but on macOS 26, it is rejected as damaged. If I run the revised executable outside the JDK bundle, it runs (but fails because it can't find the rest of the JDK, which is expected). In all cases, GateKeeper rejects the revised executable because it has not been notarized, but that doesn't seem to stop the program from executing.

Looking for a dynamic table that displays the latest supported CLI versions with the version of macOS. Specifically, is CLI 15.3 supported on Ventura 13.7.8? More generally, what is the lastest version of CLI supported on macOS <version_goes_here>

I've recently switched from using Xcode 15 under Ventura to using Xcode 26 under Sequoia on an Intel-CPU Mac. This is a macOS project that uses a legacy build location, and the sources are C++ and Objective-C. For every source being compiled, I get a clang warning "no such include directory" for these 4 directories: $BUILD_DIR/Debug/include $BUILD_DIR/SBEngineV4.build/Debug/V4 Dual SBEngine.build/DerivedSources-normal/x86_64 $BUILD_DIR/SBEngineV4.build/Debug/V4 Dual SBEngine.build/DerivedSources/x86_64 $BUILD_DIR/SBEngineV4.build/Debug/V4 Dual SBEngine.build/DerivedSources I can't figure out where it's getting those directories. I added a Run Script build phase that says echo $HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS, and the first path that reports is the $BUILD_DIR/Debug/include path, yet I don't see that when I look at the header search paths in the target build settings. I tried deleting all the derived data. I tried Xcode 26.0.1 and 26.1 beta 2.

Bear with me, please. Please make sure a highly skilled technical person reads and understands this. I want to describe my vision for (AI/Algorithmically) Optimised Operating Systems. To explain it properly, I will describe the process to build it (pseudo). Required Knowledge (no particular order): Processor Logic Circuits, LLM models, LLM tool usage, Python OO coding, Procedural vs OO, NLP fuzzy matching, benchmarking, canvas/artefacts/dynamic HTML interfaces, concepts of how AI models are vastly compressed and miniaturised forms of full data, Algorithmic vs AI. First, take all OO Python code (example) on GitHub (example), then separate each function from each object into its own procedure (procedural logic) by making a logical procedural list of actions to perform only that function based on its entire dependency chain (i.e. all other objects it relies on). Relate all compiled functions using (for example) fuzzy matching on the name, or AI-based functional profiling to get multiple instances of each function. Starting with the most used function, test each one against the others that perform the same task for bugs and completeness. Determine the fastest, most optimal version of that function (and every function). Add a single instance of each most optimal function to the centralised tool codebase, which will later be utilised by the language models. This ensures we rely only on the most optimised function for each and every use case — with every program using one shared instance of that function instead of compiling it separately. In this way, we optimise all existing (Python OO) code based on maximum availability of certain resources. Use the optimised code to teach the AI how to map each user task directly to optimised code (i.e. each user-facing function in unoptimised program code to its optimised version). Later, teach the codebase how to optimise these functions directly to the logic circuits on the processor — as an Operating System — using essentially the same process. Eventually, use the most optimised form for tasks via a dynamic canvas/artefacts UI interface generated by the Start Menu using the language model. Allow custom interfaces to emerge dynamically from the available functions based on language understanding. Grow and optimise the algorithmic codebase until the entire operating system — with versioning — evolves based on the AI-generated user interfaces (compressing them into new versions of the tools codebase). Please don’t give up until you understand this concept completely and nothing in the description is beyond your full comprehension. It’s a highly significant step forward.

NSHostingSceneRepresentation, introduced in macOS 26, allows calling SwiftUI’s windows and other elements set in a Scene from AppKit. However, while Settings and WindowGroup set in the Scene can be invoked as expected using environment.openSettings() and environment.openWindow(id:) respectively, calling Window or WindowUtility doesn’t work. That is, the app just fails to open the desired window with the provided ID, and no error message or other feedback/crash/freeze appears. I expect that executing the openUtilityWindow(_:)action in the following code will display the UtilityWindow set in the scene. However, the window does not actually open. @main final class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { private let scene = NSHostingSceneRepresentation { UtilityWindow("Utility Window", id: "UtilityWindow") { Text("Utility Window") .scenePadding() } } func applicationWillFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { NSApp.addSceneRepresentation(self.scene) } @IBAction func openUtilityWindow(_ sender: Any?) { self.scene.environment.openWindow(id: "UtilityWindow") } } Is there something wrong with my implementation and expectation? Or is this a bug in NSHostingSceneRepresentation? Just in case, I’ve already filed this issue withFeedback Assistant: FB20310722 This feedback also includes a sample project reproducing this issue.

My UIKit/Mac Catalyst app supports a user opening multiple windows (multiple scenes). One of these is a special scene that shows content that I want to appear in front of all other app windows/scenes, even while the user is interacting with one of the app's other scenes. I do not need this special scene to stay in front of the windows of other apps, just in front of the windows of my own app. While I'm not 100% sure, it seems that AppKit supports this through the NSWindow level property. I can't find any equivalent feature in UIKit/Mac Catalyst. UIWindow windowLevel is not the same thing since that only affects the order of windows within a given scene. I need an entire scene (and its windows) to stay in front of my app's other scenes (and their windows). I don't see anything relevant in UIWindow, UIScene, UIWindowScene, UISceneSession, UIScene.ActivationRequestOptions, or UIWindowScene.ActivationRequestOptions.

Hi, I'm trying to setup a AVAudioEngine for USB Audio recording and monitoring playthrough. As soon as I try to setup playthough I get an error in the console: AVAEInternal.h:83 required condition is false: [AVAudioEngineGraph.mm:1361:Initialize: (IsFormatSampleRateAndChannelCountValid(outputHWFormat))] Any ideas how to fix it? // Input-Device setzen try? setupInputDevice(deviceID: inputDevice) let input = audioEngine.inputNode // Stereo-Format erzwingen let inputHWFormat = input.inputFormat(forBus: 0) let stereoFormat = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: inputHWFormat.commonFormat, sampleRate: inputHWFormat.sampleRate, channels: 2, interleaved: inputHWFormat.isInterleaved) guard let format = stereoFormat else { throw AudioError.deviceSetupFailed(-1) } print("Input format: \(inputHWFormat)") print("Forced stereo format: \(format)") audioEngine.attach(monitorMixer) audioEngine.connect(input, to: monitorMixer, format: format) // MonitorMixer -> MainMixer (Output) // Problem here, format: format also breaks. audioEngine.connect(monitorMixer, to: audioEngine.mainMixerNode, format: nil)

Hi, I am currently developing a document-based application with additional WindowGroup for macOS and have encountered a challenge related to document container management. Specifically, I need to open a windowGroup that shares the same container as the one used in the DocumentGroup. However, my current approach of using a global shared model container has led to unintended behavior: any new document created is linked to existing ones, and changes made in one document are reflected across all documents. To address this issue, I am looking for a solution that allows each newly created document to be individualized while still sharing the document container with all relevant WindowGroups that require access to the data it holds. I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you might have on how to achieve this. struct Todo: App { var body: some Scene { DocumentGroup(editing: Item.self, contentType: .item) { ContentView() } WindowGroup(for: Item.self) { $item in ItemView(item:$item) .modelContainer(Of DocumentGroup above) } } } Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards,

After updating to MacOS 26.1 I encountered an issue that Roblox tends to freeze quite often for 10 - 60 seconds at most, this is really annoying that it is doing this as i play the game a lot. My theory is that it is like a driver issue with metal or something, I have reinstalled MacOS, reinstalled the game and lowed the performance manually but nothing is working. Wondering if you could help, when it will be fixed and if others are having the same issue. Many thanks, William.

Is anyone else using one of the "Dark" editor themes (such as "Default (Dark)" or "Classic (Dark)" in Xcode? And is anyone doing this with Xcode 26 on macOS 26? Here's the result while using the "Default (Dark)" theme while my Mac is in "light" mode: Note that the black background of the editor goes all the way to the far left edge of the Xcode window. The large gray area in the project tree is the black background bleeding through the sidebar. This is really distracting. Is there a way to fix this (besides not using a dark theme - I've been using dark themes for over 30 years)? This appears to be a poor design decision in macOS 26 to have split views show the background of the secondary column behind the primary column. iPadOS 26 has the same issue (see https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/800073).

I've been trying to add a CoreSpotlight indexer to my macOS application. The new template for the indexer uses the new appex CSImportExtension style importer. I've been following this -> https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corespotlight/csimportextension I changed the CSSupportedContentTypes in the Info.plist file to the correct file type uti. I added a dummy value into the attributes (see code below) - just setting contentDescription to 'noodle' (easy to search for) class ImportExtension: CSImportExtension {   override func update(_ attributes: CSSearchableItemAttributeSet, forFileAt: URL) throws {     // Add a dummy value, and see whether spotlight finds it     attributes.contentDescription = "noodle" } } I have a number of files on disk that match the uti (and can be found when I search by the file name) Yet, when I build and run my app, the a spotlight search for 'noodle' finds no results. Can anyone give me any advice? I cannot find any indication that the ImportExtension is called (although when I put a log message at the start of the update() call there's no message in the console which seems to suggest it's not being called). Is there any way of debugging this? Cheers and thanks -- Darren.

Hi, I am looking for comprehensive "controls" documentation for SwiftUI. When searching on the Apple site, I have not seen any documentation that shows a picture of a control and an explantation of what it does, for all the available controls. I have also searched the web for such documentation, and have not found any. When I was learning Rust, I came across a beautiful document about GTK3 (PDF) that had a complete list of controls, including pictures. If something looked interesting I could do a search for more details. Thanks, Jim

Is there a way to configure the style and toolbar of the macOS window that Xcode uses in #Preview? I am working on a macOS application and want to preview some SwiftUI views within different window styles, toolbar styles and window title/subtitle visibilities. Some of the modifiers to control the look-and-feel of a window are actually Scene Modifiers, not View Modifiers: .windowStyle .windowToolbarLabelStyle .windowToolbarStyle But #Preview does not accept Scenes, so I can't apply these modifiers: // Error, not a view modifier. #Preview { ContentView() .windowStyle(...) } // Error, Window is not supported in #Preview. #Preview { Window("Browser", id: "browser") { ContentView() } } If I give my ContentView a .toolbar(...), Xcode's Preview will correctly show a window with a toolbar, but not necessarily in the style I want. Is there a way to apply the Scene Modifiers to #Preview so that I can see how they affect the window's chrome and toolbar?
