I have a virtual machine using apple's sample code on their developer page but i have no audio. How do i create and setup an audio device for the vm?

Good afternoon, After a long time of using of Macbook security popups with requesting access from apps start appearing For example today I opened vscode to work with nuxtjs and 3 popups appeared: vscode requests access to photos, calendar, contacts, desktop, icloud etc The same happens with PHPStorm. If I open terminal, the same things happen with terminal I haven't installed anything and haven't updated anything Then I decided to update the latest MacOS, thought that it may help, but it didn't help My questions are: How to fix that? All applications even terminal should not have such permission requests Is it a bug and it will be fixed in a patch? Why do these popups always appearing if I clicked Don't allow? OS: MacOs Sonoma 14.5 Mac book Pro 2019

I have an executable in macOS that I m launching as a User Agent. The same executable can be launched in multiple ways like either user can directly click the exe to launch it, or user can launch it from the terminal using ./ etc. One similar way is when the user launches the exe as a User Agent(i.e daemon in user session). In this scenarios, I want to identify in my exe If my user has launched it as agent to perform certain task. I wanted to know how can I accurately determine this? I have tried figuring out If there is some unique session that agents operate in, but I could not find anything. Can someone help here? Is this even possible?

i made a virtual machine with the help of the tutorial on the apple developer website running macos on my m2 macbook pro. I am wondering how I can integrate my mouse in the virtual machine instead of it being on top of the app.

I'm working on an Angular application that retrieves static data (JSON, MP3, and images) from a backend server, with a cache control response header set to Cache-Control: public, max-age=2592000. I expect these files to be served from either disk or memory cache after the initial request. However, in Safari, the browser sometimes fetches the data from the cache and other times makes a network call. This inconsistent behavior is particularly noticeable with MP3 files, whereas JSON and image files are consistently served from the cache as expected. I've tested this on multiple Safari versions and observed the same issue: Version 17.2 (19617.1.17.11.9) Version 17.1 (19616.2.9.11.7) Version 17.3 (19617.2.4.11.8) I confirmed that the "Disable Cache" option is not enabled in the developer tools, so the MP3 files should be cached. This functionality works correctly in Chrome and Firefox without any issues.

I am trying to bring my iOS App to native macOS. I am using exactly the same TimelineProvider and widgets (the ones not supported on macOS surrounded by #if(os)). Running the whole app or just the WidgetExtension on iOS works perfectly fine. Running the mac app works perfectly fine apart from missing Widgets. When running the WidgetExtension on My Mac, the WidgetKit Simulator opens and only presents Failed to load widget. The operation couldn't be completed. (WidgetKit_Simulator.WidgetDocument.Error error 4.) The code compiles fine without any warnings, only a file path is printed into the console. file:///Users/myName/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyAppName-dfsiuexplidieybwvbkqofchxirp/Build/Products/Debug/MyApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/MyAppNameWidgetExtensionExtension.appex/ Shortly after I get a log entry Logging Error: Failed to initialize logging system. Log messages may be missing. If this issue persists, try setting IDEPreferLogStreaming=YES in the active scheme actions environment variables. I am not sure which further Informationen I can give to solve my problem. Destinations on main App and Widget Extension is both set to Mac (no suffix). The mac is running 14.4.1 and Xcode 15.3. I am really thankful for any assistance you can give me to fix this problem. Thanks

I tried to read an Object : -(NSMutableDictionary*) readMyObject:(NSData*)data; { NSError * error; Class class = [NSMutableDictionary class]; NSMutableDictionary * dict; dict = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchivedObjectOfClass:class fromData:data error:&error]; return dict; the result was nil. I searched by Developer for a solution and found one : { // NSKeyedUnarchiver * unarchiver = [[NSKeyedUnarchiver alloc] init]; [unarchiver decodeObjectOfClasses: [[NSSet alloc]initWithArray: @[[NSDictionary class], [NSMutableDictionary class], [NSArray class], [NSMutableArray class], [NSString class], [NSNumber class]]] forKey:NSKeyedArchiveRootObjectKey]; [unarchiver finishDecoding]; } The first line was from me and it crashed the project. I assume there is an easy answer, not for me.🥲 Uwe

I have a .search field in the toolbar of my swiftui macOS app. it only "drops down" to show a couple items if the window is zoomed to full screen. The first screencap is with window zoomed full screen (incorrect behavior). second screencap is window unzoomed (correct). Any advice?

Hi there! I am trying to build a macOS app using Electron. There is a feature on the app that depends on a http server to run locally. This Server was built using Java. Both the compiled server and the Java Runtime Environment were bundled in the build. To start the server I use NodeJS's child_process.spawn, pointing the bundled JRE's executable and the server implementation. The issue I am facing is that the Java Virtual Machine is not starting. It returns the following error message: Error: Port Library failed to initialize: -1 Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Both the JRE and the server are located in Contents directory, in a subdirectory I have created for them. Here are the app's entitlements: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <string>REDACTED</string> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>REDACTED</string> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>REDACTED</string> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-executable-page-protection</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.microphone</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.camera</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.print</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-write</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Here the entitlements inherit: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.inherit</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Is there any missing step to allow the spawning of this process?

I made a simple app in Swift. Compilation was on MacBook Pro 16 (Apple M3 Pro) / Sonoma 14.4.1, and the XCode version used was 15.3. When I run this app on Big Sur(11.5.2) / Intel Core i5 iMac, following message is noticed. "The 'MYAPP' application cannot be opened because this application is not supported on this Mac." If I run MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp directly, “...Bad CPU type in executable”is displayed. Build Settings are as follows: Minimum Deployments: macOS 11.0 Architectures: Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel) - $(ARCHS_STANDARD) Build Active Architecture Only : Debug - Yes / Release - No Code Signing by : Development ID and notarization is completed Additionally, SimpleFirewall (The Network Extension example) works well on Big Sur. I compared all settings with The SimpleFirewall project and couldn't find anything unusual.

When you use the eslogger command line tool to dump 'profile add' and 'profile remove' notify events, the instigator process seems to always be reported to be the mdmclient process whatever the "real" instigator is: the Profiles pane in System Settings.app. a MDM solution the profiles command line tool. [Q] Is this expected? Because for another family of notify events where there is also an instigator field, the instigator points to the "real" instigator.

Hi everyone , I would like to ask about system setting, does any setting can make the Mac wakeup faster when it display off after logout.? it look like it will take around 20s to show the login screen after key press. I want it be faster. do any setting for this behavior ? Thanks for all.

The control in the picture, I need to use any programming way to call out The AppleScriptI use is as follows：osascript -e 'set volume output volume 50'

So I'm building a colour sampler tool, similar to ColorSlurp and since CGWindowListCreateImage (which I am using for below macOS 14.0) is deprecated since Sonoma, I am wondering what's the best approach to replacing it. The way I use CGWindowListCreateImage currently is to take a screenshot of a specified area around the mouse pointer every time the mouse moves. Which works perfectly fine without issues. Now I've tried replacing CGWindowListCreateImage with SCScreenshotManager.createImage which is an async function and as you might expect, running async functions on mouse movements doesn't quite work out that well. It is lagging behind, heavily. So my question would be what's the appropriate ScreenCaptureKit methods to replace the functionality already created with CGWindowListCreateImage? Should I create a SCStream instead? Then I am worried about the fact that I would need to stream the whole screen instead of just the area around the mouse pointer since updating stream configs is an async function as well. I'd greatly appreciate any sort of direction!

Hi All, Finder is caching the old application name and not showing the new application. I am deploying my iPad app to M1 Mac by generating a package file. In the newer version of this application, I have changed my application name and deployed the application from backend to user machines. Eventhough application is deployed successfully, the application name still remains the old. I went through the forum and tried the reset the finder cache and launcher service caches, but still the new application name is not coming. But when I uninstall and reinstall the application it is showing the new application name. Can someone suggest a way to reset this using script, as we are deploying the application from backend, we dont have direct access to the client machines Thanks Ranga

Dear all, I want to delete mail app and outlook for mac app saved password (exchange on-promised server) in keychain (macOS big sur 11.7.10). I can delete outlook for mac app's password by command: security delete-generic-password -l "Exchange" But I cannot delete mail app's password by command: security delete-generic-password -l "com.apple.account.Exchange.password" Please provide the right command. Thanks in advanced.

The MAC device is a device that has been manually added to the Apple Business Manager. DEP profiles are normally installed in both iOS and iPadOS. Profile descript error occurs only when attempting DEP of MacOS. (If you look at the picture, a decryption error occurs in the remote device registration step.) I asked Apple's customer center about this problem,  and it is said that it is caused by the lack of a key called "automatic registration on the MDM server" The key cannot be found in the Apple official document related to the profile below. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/mdm/ Information received during DEP enroll of Macmini using Apple silicon. {    'LANGUAGE': 'en_US',    'PRODUCT': 'Macmini 9,1',    'SERIAL': 'CXXXXXXXXXXV',    'UDID': '0XXXXX27-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XZXXXXXXXXX',    'VERSION': '21C52' } Information received during DEP enroll of iPAD {    'LANGUAGE': 'en_US',    'PRODUCT': 'iPad5,4',    'SERIAL': 'DXXXXXXXXXXQ',    'UDID': '9aXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX6d',    'VERSION': '19C63' } Profile to be transmitted to the device (same as MacOS, iOS, IPadOS) {    'AccessRights': 8191,    'CheckInURL': 'https://apm.xxxxx.com/checkin',    'CheckOutWhenRemoved': True,    'IdentityCertificateUUID': '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',    'PayloadDescription': 'MDM Profile',    'PayloadDisplayName': 'MDM',    'PayloadIdentifier': 'com.xxxxx.xxxxxxx.mdm',    'PayloadOrganization': 'MDM provider',    'PayloadType': 'com.apple.mdm',    'PayloadUUID': '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',    'PayloadVersion': 1,    'PromptUserToAllowBootstrapTokenForAuthentication': True,   'ServerCapabilities': ['com.apple.mdm.per-user-connections','com.apple.mdm.bootstraptoken'],    'ServerURL': 'https://apm.xxxxx.com/server',    'SignMessage': False,    'Topic': 'com.apple.mgmt.External.206bfa63-f76a-4381-9e50-6f74241d14d9' }  Because it uses the same profile structure, it is not understood that iOS/iPadOS operates normally and errors occur only in MacOS. If there is anything that can help me, please let me know. Thank you.

Hi, I'm looking at being able to set a display colour profile via terminal. I know apps such as SwitchResX are able to change this but i can't figure out how and if it is possible to switch via a terminal command or via a script. This here is what i would like to change. I have googled about and searched through preference files but can't find anything. Any help is much apreciated. Thanks, James

I wanted to identify the shutdown event in macOS, so that If my application is running and the user performs a system shutdown then my application could be notified of the shutdown event and perform finalization. I came across NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification which is exactly what I require, however, I created a sample application to observe for this notification. Is is observed that right before the system shuts down, the OS terminates my application invoking applicationWillTerminate(_:) delegate and the observer method for 'NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification' is not invoked. I could perform my finalization in the applicationWillTerminate, but I wanted to know why is the observer not getting invoked. Also why is NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification, even provided by apple when it invoked the termination delegate before shutdown? below is how I m adding the observer: NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: NSWorkspace.willPowerOffNotification, object: nil, queue: nil, using: AppDelegate.handlePowerOffNotification) Below is my observer function, which just logs: public static func handlePowerOffNotification(_ notification: Notification) { NSLog (AppDelegate.TAG + "System will power off soon! Perform any necessary cleanup tasks.") // custom logger to log to a file TWLog.Log ("System will power off soon! Perform any necessary cleanup tasks.") }

I have a bundled application that contains a widget extension. On launching the application once the widget appears in the widget gallery, However, I have observed that If my widget extension is not sandboxed, the widget fails to show in the widget gallery. Is this expected? I am using the same xcode project and just that AppSandbox capability for the widget extension target is causing this. Can someone please explain why is this happening?
