Hi. I am facing a panic in distributed virtual filesystem of my own making. The panic arises on attempt of copying a large folder, or writing a large file (both around 20gb). An important note here is that the amount of files we try to copy is larger than available space (for testing purposes, the virtual file system had a capacity of 18 gigabytes). The panic arises somewhere on 12-14gigabytes deep into copying. On the moment of panic, there are still several gigabytes of storage left. The problem is present for sure for such architectures and macOS versions: Sonoma 14.7.1 arm64e Monterey 12.7.5 arm64e Ventura 13.7.1 intel Part from panic log from Ventura 13.7.1 intel, with symbolicated addresses: panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff80191a191a): watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 90 seconds (48 total checkins since monitoring last enabled) Panicked task 0xffffff907c99f698: 191 threads: pid 0: kernel_task Backtrace (CPU 2), panicked thread: 0xffffff86e359cb30, Frame : Return Address 0xffffffff001d7bb0 : 0xffffff8015e70c7d mach_kernel : _handle_debugger_trap + 0x4ad 0xffffffff001d7c00 : 0xffffff8015fc52e4 mach_kernel : _kdp_i386_trap + 0x114 0xffffffff001d7c40 : 0xffffff8015fb4df7 mach_kernel : _kernel_trap + 0x3b7 0xffffffff001d7c90 : 0xffffff8015e11971 mach_kernel : _return_from_trap + 0xc1 0xffffffff001d7cb0 : 0xffffff8015e70f5d mach_kernel : _DebuggerTrapWithState + 0x5d 0xffffffff001d7da0 : 0xffffff8015e70607 mach_kernel : _panic_trap_to_debugger + 0x1a7 0xffffffff001d7e00 : 0xffffff80165db9a3 mach_kernel : _panic_with_options + 0x89 0xffffffff001d7ef0 : 0xffffff80191a191a com.apple.driver.watchdog : IOWatchdog::userspacePanic(OSObject*, void*, IOExternalMethodArguments*) (.cold.1) 0xffffffff001d7f20 : 0xffffff80191a10a1 com.apple.driver.watchdog : IOWatchdog::checkWatchdog() + 0xd7 0xffffffff001d7f50 : 0xffffff80174f960b com.apple.driver.AppleSMC : SMCWatchDogTimer::watchdogThread() + 0xbb 0xffffffff001d7fa0 : 0xffffff8015e1119e mach_kernel : _call_continuation + 0x2e Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.driver.watchdog(1.0)[BD08CE2D-77F5-358C-8F0D-A570540A0BE7]@0xffffff801919f000->0xffffff80191a1fff com.apple.driver.AppleSMC(3.1.9)[DD55DA6A-679A-3797-947C-0B50B7B5B659]@0xffffff80174e7000->0xffffff8017503fff dependency: com.apple.driver.watchdog(1)[BD08CE2D-77F5-358C-8F0D-A570540A0BE7]@0xffffff801919f000->0xffffff80191a1fff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4)[D342E754-A422-3F44-BFFB-DEE93F6723BC]@0xffffff8018446000->0xffffff8018447fff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[481BF782-1F4B-3F54-A34A-CF12A822C40D]@0xffffff80188b6000->0xffffff80188e7fff Process name corresponding to current thread (0xffffff86e359cb30): kernel_task Boot args: keepsyms=1 Mac OS version: 22H221 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 22.6.0: Thu Sep 5 20:48:48 PDT 2024; root:xnu-8796.141.3.708.1~1/RELEASE_X86_64 The origin of the problem is surely inside my filesystem. However, the panic happens not there but somewhere in watchdog. As far as I can tell, the source code for watchdog is not available for public. I can't understand what causes the panic. Let's say we have run out of space. Couldn't write data. Writing received a proper error message and aborted. That's what is expected. However, it is unclear for why the panic arises.

Issue description: Using Xcodebuild command to build a project using Xcode 16.1 and 16.2, getting multiple device simulator warnings with same os and same model.

Should I allow the CIJSULAgent to find devices on local network?

I have a multiplatform app that I've been working on that targets iphones, ipad, and macos. I also have a widgetextension that targets all three devices. On iphones and ipads, the widgets show up in the widget gallery with no problems. But on the mac, the widget center does show my app, but its widgets are "from iPhone" meaning that if my app was not install on an iphone, they just won't show up on the mac at all. I have not idea of what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. Do I need to create a widget extension for the mac seperately?

I have written a small iOS app that I run as a MacOS app using the build target "My Mac (Designed for iPad)". It runs fine, however I cannot find where the app itself is installed on my system. When running the app multiple times I see that a number is appended to the title of my app is incremented indicating that old versions of the app are still installed somewhere. Where are they located on my system? Many thanks for the help!

I'm looking for confirmation on the security aspects of fdesetup authrestart when used on a FileVault-enabled Mac. As I understand it, this command temporarily stores the decryption key in memory to allow the system to restart without requiring manual entry of the FileVault password. However, I have a few security-related concerns: Storage of the Decryption Key: Where exactly is the key stored during an authenticated restart? Is it protected within the Secure Enclave (for Apple Silicon Macs) or the T2 Security Chip on Intel Macs? Key Lifetime & Wiping: At what point is the decryption key erased from memory? Does it persist in any form after the system has fully rebooted? Protection Against Physical Attacks: If an attacker gains physical access to the machine before the restart completes, is there any possibility that they could extract the decryption key from memory? Cold Boot Attack Resistance: Is there any risk that advanced forensic techniques (such as freezing RAM to retain data) could be used to recover the decryption key after issuing an authenticated restart? Malware Resistance: Could a compromised system (e.g., root access by an attacker) intercept or misuse the decryption key before the restart? I understand that on Apple Silicon and T2-equipped Macs, FileVault keys are tied to hardware-based encryption, making unauthorized access difficult. However, I'd like to confirm whether Authenticated Restart introduces any new risks compared to a standard FileVault-enabled boot process.

I'm not quite sure where the problem is, but I will describe what I am doing to recreate the issue, and am happy to provide whatever information I can to be more useful. I am changing the ActivationPolicy for my app in order to make it unobtrusive when in the background (e.g. hiding it from the dock and using only a menu bar status item). When the user activates the app with a hotkey, it changes from NSApplicationActivationPolicyAccessory back to NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular. This allows normal usage (dock icon, menu bar, etc.) This works fine, except in a rare situation which I finally just tracked down. If there is a window open in the app and I use the hotkey to convert back to an accessory, and then disconnect and reconnect the display on which the app was previously displayed, when I convert the app back to "regular mode", the menu bar has disappeared (and I am left with an empty space at the top of the screen). I can also trigger this bug by having the display in question briefly mirror the other display (effectively "orphaning" the hidden app), and then restoring the original side-by-side configuration before activating the app again. The app otherwise works, but the menu bar is missing. Switching back and forth with other apps does not fix the problem. Quitting and restarting the app resolves the issue. As does disabling the accessory only mode and forcing the app to always remain in "regular mode" with a dock icon (there is a preference for this in my app). Once fixed, I can then re-enable the "accessory mode" and all is well until the bug is triggered again. The bug would normally occur quite sporadically, presumably requiring a particular combination of changing Spaces or displays, or having the computer go to sleep while this app was in accessory mode. Thus far, the above is the only way I have found that can replicate this issue on demand. If I close all windows before hiding the app, then it works fine when I revert to "regular mode". It only happens if there is a window open at the time. Using applicationDidChangeScreenParameters: on my AppDelegate indicates that there is a change in screen, and logging window.screen.frame for each open window in [NSApp orderedWindows] shows that the size changes from e.g. 1920x1080 to 0x0 and back while the display is disconnected or mirrored. There is also an error in the console in Xcode when this happens -- invalid display identifier <some UUID>. I have tried various options for window collectionBehavior, as well as various settings for Spaces (which I normally use). None of these changes has fixed the behavior thus far. I use [NSApp hide:self]; from my AppDelegate to hide the app, and [[NSRunningApplication currentApplication] activateWithOptions:NSApplicationActivateAllWindows];[NSApp unhide:self]; to bring it back to the front. I welcome any ideas for things to chase down, or requests for more specific information that would be useful. Thank you! Fletcher

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10. OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits. 2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. The following caveats apply to XProtect: ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets. ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked. As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware. 3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.) Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following: ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user. ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware. ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error. Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however. For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking. 4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT. 5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable. The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "****** horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. Malware defence By Linc Davis - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6460085

Hi, Overview I am using Xcode Cloud for my multi platform app. The macOS test case fails, however the iOS test case runs and succeeds. I don't have any UI test cases written, the test case are simple and have nothing platform (macOS) specific. Questions What can I do to fix this? Is there any user privileges needed to launch the macOS app for testing? I ask because when I ran the UI tests locally it launched the app and asked for my macOS user password. Just wondering if that is the reason it didn't launch in Xcode Cloud. Error: <Appname> encountered an error (Failed to install or launch the test runner.

I had a standalone python application (created with pyinstaller) which was working perfectly alone. This macOS application was created in VS. I later decided to improve the application by implementing some Swift features (Subscription Manager). This required me to write a brief Swift file (Subscription Management) in XCode which the Python file called on.

I have a .NET 6 application that runs in the background. The installer is a .pkg file built using a third-party tool called "Packages". All .dylib and executable files are codesigned before packaging. The resulting .pkg file is notarized. The app uses these entitlements: com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation The app is built on a macbook Air 2015 running macOS 12.6 and it works without issues on that machine. On a macbook Pro M3 running macOS 14.6.1 the app fails to run even though the installation itself is successful. The only logs that I was able to find are related to syspolicyd (4 warnings): Unable to apply protection to app: 45, PST: (vuid: A78FF6C2-08D5-4DCC-B946-8836251AA0E7), (objid: 1873967), (team: (null)), (id: (null)), (bundle_id: (null)) Failed to register app bundle for protection: 45, PST: (vuid: A78FF6C2-08D5-4DCC-B946-8836251AA0E7), (objid: 1873967), (team: (null)), (id: (null)), (bundle_id: (null)) scan failed, finishing evaluation : PST: (vuid: A78FF6C2-08D5-4DCC-B946-8836251AA0E7), (objid: 1873967), (team: (null)), (id: (null)), (bundle_id: (null)) Terminating process due to Gatekeeper rejection: 95158, Unfortunately, verification commands such as sudo codesign --verify --deep --strict -vvv MyApplication.App spctl -a -vvv -t install MyApplicationInstaller.pkg do not indicate any issues. Are there any additional steps that need to be performed in order for my app to work properly on newer machines?

Hi. I am developing a custom virtual file system and facing such behaviour: Upon using some graphical apps, for example Adobe Media Encoder, attempting to navigate inside my filesystem deeper than root folder will fail - nothing will happen on "double click" on that subfolder. Another problem, is that whether I try to re-navigate into root directory, it will be empty. The problem is not present for most GUI apps - for example navigation inside Finder, upon choosing download path for file in Safari, apps like Microsoft Word, Excel and other range of applications work totally correctly. A quick note here. From what I have seen - all apps that work correctly actually have calls to VFS_VGET - a predefined vfs layer hook. Whether the Adobe Media Encoder does not call for it - neither in my filesystem, nor in Samba, so my guess is that some applications have different browsing and retrieving algorithm. Is there anything I should examine further ? Default routines (vnop_open, vnop_lookup, vnop_readdir, vnop_close) behave as expected, without any errors. P.S. This application (Adobe Media Encoder) works properly on Samba.

Currently I came across an issue in mac catalyst project. All the buttons in my project are not visible, they are in their actual positions and also clickable and performing their tasks as assigned but they are not visible. When Iam doing: crossButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "CrossComMac"), for: .normal) Button does not contain image While in the below code, image is visible but Iam not able to resize it. crossButton.imageView?.image = UIImage(named: "CrossComMac") Also title of the button is not visible too. Anything related to button in my mac catalyst project is not visible. Main issue: Button's image is visible in Xcode running project Button's image is not visible in build project...(funny thing right)

I'm trying to create a List that allows multiple selection. Each row can be edited but the issue is that since there's a tap gesture on the Text element, the list is unable to select the item. Here's some code: import SwiftUI struct Person: Identifiable { let id: UUID let name: String init(_ name: String) { self.id = UUID() self.name = name } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var persons = [Person("Peter"), Person("Jack"), Person("Sophia"), Person("Helen")] @State private var selectedPersons = Set<Person.ID>() var body: some View { VStack { List(selection: $selectedPersons) { ForEach(persons) { person in PersonView(person: person, selection: $selectedPersons) { newValue in // ... } } } } .padding() } } struct PersonView: View { var person: Person @Binding var selection: Set<Person.ID> var onCommit: (String) -> Void = { newValue in } @State private var isEditing = false @State private var newValue = "" @FocusState private var isInputActive: Bool var body: some View { if isEditing { TextField("", text: $newValue, onCommit: { onCommit(newValue) isEditing = false }) .focused($isInputActive) .labelsHidden() } else { Text(person.name) .onTapGesture { if selection.contains(person.id), selection.count == 1 { newValue = person.name isEditing = true isInputActive = true } } } } } Right now, you need to tap on the row anywhere but on the text to select it. Then, if you tap on the text it'll go in edit mode. Is there a way to let the list do its selection? I tried wrapping the tap gesture in simultaneousGesture but that didn't work. Thanks!

Hello, I'm developing a Transparent Proxy and I noticed that the Network Extension Framework logs in the Unified Logging System when my profile receives a flow, its source application, its destination endpoint, and my profile's decision regarding that flow. I worry that this may compromise the user's privacy. So is there a way that I can turn off these logs at least in Distribution Configurations?
