We have an iOS app (which runs on macOS via "Designed for iPad") which renders web content on WKWebView. Our users can select text (standard OS way of click & drag cursor across text) and then perform actions on those discrete pieces of text. On macOS 15.1, our users can only expand a text selection, they cannot contract the text selection by dragging the cursor to the left. This reduces the usability of our app on macOS 15.1. This is not an issue on macOS 14. Environment: MacBook Pro (2021 16” M1 Max), macOS 15.1 Submitted Feedback FB15726254.

In my macOS app I have a SwiftUI list that starts like this: List(selection: $selection) { HStack { Label("Staging", systemImage: "arrow.up.square") Spacer() WorkspaceStatusBadge(unstagedCount: model.statusCounts.unstaged, stagedCount: model.statusCounts.staged) } (where WorkspaceStatusBadge is a custom view that just contains a Text) I'm trying to set the accessibility ID of that first cell so I can find it in XCUITest. If I apply the accessibilityIdentifier() modifier to the HStack, it instead sets the ID of the two static text elements inside it, and the cell still has no ID. I could find the cell based on the ID of the child staticText, but I have some other cases where this doesn't work as well. If I use .accessibilityElement() on the HStack, then XCUI sees a cell containing a Group element with the ID. This might be workable, but it's certainly not ideal. So how do I set the ID of the cell itself?

My MacBook restarted because of a problem what is wrong with it

Hi, I’m able to view the activity log using the macOS application integrated with Endpoint Security Entitlement in Xcode by setting Debug Process As: root. However, after archiving the application into a .app using a Developer ID Application certificate and sending it to my friend, they encountered the error ES_NEW_CLIENT_RESULT_ERR_NOT_PRIVILEGED during client initialization when running the application. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Specifically, what is the correct technical approach to make the application run as root? Thanks

I made a macOS document-based app that has a second scene that's a Window. It's name appears in the single window list of the Windows menu, but has no assigned shortcut. I've tried the following to assign a shortcut to it, but it doesn't add a "⌘L" as I want: Window("Logs", id: "logs") { LogsView() } .keyboardShortcut("l") I can brute-force this using .commands to replace the menu item but that seems crude and unnecessary. Is it the only way?

With iPadOS 18, the UITabBar now defaults to the floating style. I successfully reverted the tab bar to its traditional style by overriding the UITabBarController's horizontalSizeClass property: self.tabBarController?.traitOverrides.horizontalSizeClass = .unspecified When I launch the app on my Mac using Apple Silicon, TWO tab bars appear: One appears at the bottom of the screen, like a traditional tab bar. The second tab bar is still embedded in the app toolbar in its floating style. Is this a bug? How do you ensure that overriding the horizontalSizeClass will remove/hide the floating tab bar when running an app on Apple Silicon? TIA! (Demonstrated on a test project)

hi all. I’m working on a content filter system extension on MacOS. I try to disable the filtering in system settings, and it will cause smb shared folder connection interrupted. what I do in stopFilterWithReason:completionHandler: is waiting for the connection that is being filtered be allowed, then invoked the completionHandler. did I do something wrong here? is there a way to avoid the connection interruption?

I have a scroll view that scrolls horizontally and one of my users is asking that it respond to their scroll wheel without them having to use the shift key. Is there some way to do this natively? If not, how can I listen for the scroll wheel events in swiftUI and make my scroll wheel scroll to respond to them?

I'm encountering a segmentation fault when using np.matmul with relatively small arrays on macOS 15.2. The issue only occurs in specific scenarios and results in a crash with the following error: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000110 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Full error log: Gist link The crash consistently occurs on a specific line where np.matmul is called, despite similar np.matmul operations succeeding earlier in the same script. The issue cannot be reproduced in a separate script that contains identical operations. When I build the NumPy wheel using OpenBLAS, this issue no longer arises, which leads me to believe that it is related to a problem with Accelerate.

When trying to use asr for restore my system disk ("/"), I'm getting a "resource busy error" It's a very laconic message, that says very little about how solve or work around the issue. I'm attaching the screenshot of the error. Any help on how to troubleshoot this error would be highly appreciated Thanks!

I use the iTunes Library framework in one of my apps, starting with macOS Sequoia 15.1 i can't create the ITLibrary object anymore with the following error: Connection to amplibraryd was interrupted. clientName:iTunesLibrary(ITLibraryLoader) Error connecting to the server via proxy object Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.amp.library.framework" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.amp.library.framework} configure failed: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.amp.library.framework" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.amp.library.framework} I created a new sandboxed macOS app, added the music folder read permission and it reproduced the error: import SwiftUI import iTunesLibrary @main struct ITLibraryLoaderApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { Button("Load ITLibrary") { loadLibrary() } } func loadLibrary() { do { let _ = try ITLibrary(apiVersion: "1.0", options: .none) } catch { print(error) } } } I restarted my developer machine and the music app with no luck.

Hello. In my app, I use RegisterEventHotkey to implement global keyboard shortcuts to trigger actions. Up until macOS Sequoia, I was able to use a keyboard shortcut with option and shift as the modifiers, like option shift 2 (⌥ ⇧ 2). Now, on macOS Sequoia, using RegisterEventHotkey to register a hotkey with those exact modifiers (option and shift), regardless of the key, fails with the error -9868 (eventInternalErr). Is this a documented and wanted change, or is this a bug? Other modifier keys (just command, command option, command shift, command control, control shift, etc), all work. Any insight into this would be appreciated. (Feedback filed: FB15163561) Thank you, Matthias

This wasn't happening until I updated Xcode to 16.2 (I'm using Sequoia 15.2). When I run any Mac app, I get these errors: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases I even got these errors running "Hello, world" which tells me that either I need to reinstall or there is a bug. Thanks for any help, -Ashley

Reading text out of PDFs with PDFKit results in some text being returned way out of order when using .string or .attributedString functions. Way out of order means not just wrong sorting of words on a line or wrongly showing up on the next line (as has happened with PDFKit on older iOS releases, e.g. 17.x), but some text (one or more words) may show up near the end of a page of text, while it should show near the beginning. As Page.characterBounds(at:) is buggy in iOS 18.x returns wrong bounds, devs cannot correct such faulty PDFKit behaviour programmatically. I believe it is on Apple to fix this iOS 18 bug asap. Thank you for giving it priority as this is killing apps that need PDFKit to get and parse text data out of PDFs. I have filed Feedback FB16264926.

Hi, I detect dark mode on macOS like following: NSAppearance *appearance = NSApp.mainWindow.effectiveAppearance; NSString *interface_style = appearance.name; NSAppearanceName basicAppearance = [appearance bestMatchFromAppearancesWithNames:@[ NSAppearanceNameAqua, NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua ]]; if([basicAppearance isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua]){ theme = "Adwaita:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; } if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameDarkAqua]){ theme = "Adwaita:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameVibrantDark]){ theme = "Adwaita:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameAccessibilityHighContrastAqua]){ theme = "HighContrast"; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameAccessibilityHighContrastDarkAqua]){ theme = "HighContrast:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; }else if([interface_style isEqualToString:NSAppearanceNameAccessibilityHighContrastVibrantDark]){ theme = "HighContrast:dark"; dark_mode = TRUE; } But this doesn't work if my window is in background. As the application window is put into background, it loses dark mode. Howto fix it? regards, Joël

Working on a MacOS SwiftUI app - recently, when the app stays running from the night before, it no longer responds to keystrokes - data entry, or cursor navigation keys. It does respond to mouse activity and clicks ... very weird.

Hi, I am a long time programmer in C#, and newer to Rust, and a rookie to MacOS 15.1. Over the past few days I have made numerous attempts to run a Rust GUI binary that I compiled on Mac. Here are some examples of things I have tried using. Executable compiled in M1 mac not running on Apple Silicon Mac - help - The Rust Programming Language Forum And here.... How to run unsigned apps in macOS 15.1 Also here... "sudo spctl --master-disable" There are many more that I have tried. I also tried moving the binary from my developer folder to the Application folder and running.... xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/csv Note that "csv" is the name of my binary. You have probably seen this 100 times, so can you point me to me to something that allows my Rust binaries to run under MacOS? PS The Rust program code works just fine under Linux. I can either type Cargo Run and run the binary from the Terminal or go directly to the executable and double click on it to open the GUI application. The only thing that MacOS lets me do it open the GUI from the Terminal. Commander One says that I do not have the proper credentials to open the file directly. Finder also does not allow me to open the binary directly. Thanks, Jim

Hi everyone! I'm developing a system where an application running in a VM communicates with the host operating system's components using vsock sockets (VZVirtioSocketDevice in Virtualization.framework). Both systems are running macOS. There may be multiple guests, and the existing implementation for other OSes relies on VM's CID to differentiate them. In macOS, getting the CID from inside the guest VM is straightforward—it is returned by IOCTL_VM_SOCKETS_GET_LOCAL_CID. However, in macOS the regular vsock API is not available on the host side, replaced by Virtualization.framework. I could not find anything in the Virtualization.framework's documentation that could be used to query (or set?) the CID for the specific virtual machine instance (which is certainly possible on other platforms utilizing Virtio drivers, e.g. Linux/QEMU). Am I overlooking something?

Hi All, I have a finder sync extension that passes data back to my main app. It currently writes to a plist file in my group container folder. Since updating to macOS 15, I have been getting this pop-up every time I trigger this writing to the plist after the finder sync extension loads. This is how I write to the plist from my finder sync extension: let appGroupDefaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.team_id.Finder-Sync-Extension-Test-Project") let items = FIFinderSyncController.default().selectedItemURLs() DispatchQueue.main.async { let url = items?.first?.absoluteString var file = items?.first?.lastPathComponent if let defaults = appGroupDefaults{ defaults.set(url, forKey: "targetURL") defaults.synchronize() } self.showWindow(with: NSExtensionContext()) } This is how I read the plist from my main app: if let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.team_id.Finder-Sync-Extension-Test-Project") { defaults.synchronize() if let clickedUrl = defaults.string(forKey: "targetURL") { window = NSWindow(contentRect: NSScreen.main?.frame ?? .zero, styleMask: [.miniaturizable, .closable, .resizable, .titled], backing: .buffered, defer: false) window?.title = "My App" window?.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil) textField.stringValue = clickedUrl window?.contentView?.addSubview(textField) } } It is fine if this popup happens once and the user's choice gets remembered. I just don't want it to happen every time. Any help on if this is the correct way to pass data between the finder sync extension and the main app or on how to get macOS to remember the choice of the user would be great. Thanks, James
