In our macOS daemon process, we are trying to validate a leaf certificate by anchoring intermediate CA cert and evaluating it using SecTrustEvaluateWithError. The leaf certificate contains couple of non-critical MS extensions (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.21.10 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.21.7). The macOS API fails to parse these extensions and does not evaluate the cert chain. Below is the error returned: { NSLocalizedDescription = "\U201abc\U201d certificate is not standards compliant"; NSUnderlyingError = "Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-67618 \"Certificate 0 \U201abc\U201d has errors: Unable to parse known extension;\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Certificate 0 \U201abc\U201d has errors: Unable to parse known extension;}"; } As per RFC2459, a non-critical extension can be ignored by the system: A certificate using system MUST reject the certificate if it encounters a critical extension it does not recognize; however, a non-critical extension may be ignored if it is not recognized. So, why does macOS not ignore these non-critical extension and returns a failure? OS version is 14.4.1.

At my current company we have an app that has a lot of third party dependencies. Recently vendors started providing code signed XCFrameworks and we would like to use the code signed frameworks without any modification in our released app (don't tamper with the signature, don't remove it, don't resign it). We have a problem, that upon downloading the XCFrameworks from an internal artifact server or upon moving the XCFrameworks on disk during the build process, macOS starts producing temporary files, like .DS_Store, ._* files (for every file X, there is additional ._X file created). Files like this are sometimes called "turdfiles", like here. The files are produced inside of XCFrameworks and inside of the _CodeSignature folder, making codesign --verify --verbose=4 Example.xcframework fail and XCode to complain and fail the build process. I wrote a script that cleans up the _CodeSignature folder from all known turdfiles and then inspects the output of codesign to indentify all surplus files and removes them - this has to be 2 steps, because codesign goes crazy if you tamper with _CodeSignature directory. We run the script in random places of the build system where it seemed to help. Is there any system solution to fix this? Isn't everyone having this problem now, with the introduction of codesigned XCFrameworks? There were tens of people in the company having this issue before we hacked it together using the cleanup script.

I have used functionality of changing user's password programmatically using the OpenDirectory framework. Once the password is updated successfully, can be use this password for Login sessions and authentication wherever required. But the same password is failing authenticate with Local Authentication Framework that is with LAContext and prefers always older password. Even restarting machine won't work. Changing current user's password using below method - do { let node = try ODNode(session: ODSession.default(), type: ODNodeType(kODNodeTypeLocalNodes)) let user = try node.record(withRecordType: kODRecordTypeUsers, name: NSUserName(), attributes: nil) try user.changePassword(currentPassword, toPassword: newPassword) print("Password changed successfully") } catch var error { print(error) } Once password is updated, then trying to authenticate password with LAContext using, let context = LAContext() context.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthentication, localizedReason: "AuthenticationMessage".localized()) { success, error in DispatchQueue.main.async { completion(success, error) } print("authentication error = (String(describing: error?.localizedDescription))") } It won't accept the updated password. Any idea how to solve this problem?

Hi, For the very same plugin dlopen() sometimes fails. The library is present but sometimes it returns NULL and sometimes a valid plugin handle. Here is the code: char *filename; void *plugin_so; filename = "/Applications/com.example.MyApp/Contents/Plugins/myplugin.dylib"; plugin_so = dlopen(filename, RTLD_NOW); I have debugged using lldb checked filename and it is present. The myplugin.dylib file supports 2 architectures, arm64 and x86_64. regards, Joël

sudo ifconfig en0 ether [MAC address] Now results in ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Can't assign requested address

Hello. Is there a legal way to block iOS devices from being mounted on macOS? I noticed, that when an iOS device is connected, it pretends to be like a storage device but it is not. It not even going through diskArbitration. It seems that some fileProvider is taking place there. I know that it is possible to do via the MDM profile: <key>PayloadContent</key> <dict> <key>.GlobalPreferences</key> <dict> <key>Forced</key> <array> <dict> <key>mcx_preference_settings</key> <dict> <key>ignore-devices</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> </array> </dict> </dict> But is there some programmatic solution? If I use EndpointSecurity and block file operations for the usbmuxd process on /var folder, it prevents iOS devices from being mounted. But wouldn't be there any negative side effects from such a solution?

I am developing a File Provider on Mac. I am marking some items within the domain as 'shared' via the NSFileProviderItemProtocol. However, the text 'Folder shared on iCloud by me' appears in Finder when these items are marked as shared. Is this correct? My provider has nothing to do with iCloud, which is, of course, the cloud developed by Apple. Is there a way to change this text or remove it? I've attached an image that shows the problem.

My Xcode workspace contains build settings for a macOS, iOS, and tvOS application. My Sandbox macOS app builds just fine and works great - and is on the App Store. I am in the process of creating a new build / branch of this app that is not Sandboxed so that I can add IPC (Syphon support) - as I don't think I can use App Groups to enable CFMessage support (which Syphon requires) because Syphon (third party framework) - uses its own naming convention for the ports. Anyway, sandbox support for a Syphon app is a topic for another day (it's actually quite disappointing that I can't release a Syphon version on the App Store). The trouble I am having, is that even afer deleting the App Sandbox entitlement from my project, my App still seems to be running in the App Sandbox, and I can't figure out how to remove the App Sandbox entitlement completely. What I am seeing, is that even after deleting the App Sandbox entitlement (using the project settings and deleting it in the "Signing and Capabilities" tab (and also checking the entitlements file manually to doubly make sure it is gone) - I am still seeing the following error message: *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x8703, name = 'info.v002.Syphon.332143F7-0916-428A-A88A-59B752F95304' See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes. It is also saving my Application Support data in the ~/Library/Containers folder, and not in ~/Library/ApplicationSupport What step am I missing?

When I connect my MacBook to my living room AirPort (older gen wallwart) via Music app, the music output in both rooms is synced. When I try to setup a Multi-Output Device in AudioMidi setup, I'm not able to get them synced. I'm outputting to the same devices, they're all on the same sample rate, and I've played with the various settings (Primary Clock Source and Drift Sync). What gives? How are these connections different? Intel MacBook Pro 2018 running Sonoma 14.5

In older versions of macOS, such as those predating Mac OS Sonoma, users had the ability to set the Lock Screen independently from their desktop wallpaper. However, with the introduction of Mac OS Sonoma, this feature seems to have been altered or removed altogether. Currently, there appears to be no option to set the Lock Screen image separately; instead, only changing the desktop wallpaper, changes the Lock Screen image. This change raises questions about whether it is a deliberate alteration in the setting flow or if it could potentially be a bug in the system. Users may wonder if this adjustment is intended to streamline the interface or if there are plans to reintroduce the ability to customize the Lock Screen image independently of the wallpaper in future updates.

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?

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:&amp;error]; return dict; the result was nil.

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?
