Hi, in past several versions of macOS, following deep links into System Preferences were working: FileVault: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?FDE Software update: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.softwareupdate GateKeeper and System Extensions: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?General Focus: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_Focus Full Disk Access: x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_AllFiles And many others They do not work in macOS Ventura anymore. Is there a replacement in macOS Ventura available? Could you please add/document new deep links into System Settings app? We use it to guide users through different setup steps that have to be done to fully setup/onboard our macOS software. Thank you for any information, Jakub

How do I disable "Passwords" in macOS Monterey's System Preferences? I don't see "Passwords" in the Restricted Payload preferences in the Profile Manager. I need to press the "Passwords" domain. For example: "Battery" -> "com.apple.preferences.battery" Reference) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/systempreferences

Hello, Would anyone know how to change the way App Expose (three / four finger swipe down) for window applications can be rearranged? Right now, it looks like there is no logic for the way the thumbnails are sorted. Thanks!

I'm updating a very old and abandoned Obj-C app and rewriting it in Swift. At its most fundamental level, this update is to get at least the original functionality included in my new app, but I do have plans for more features that the original didn't offer. Originally the app was configured by just a System Preferences Preference Pane and had no GUI of its own. I'm curious if I should stick to that methodology or if I should build an actual app. This is an app that will be running as a service in the background and will not need any UI to interact with beyond the configuration of its settings. What are the current best practices? Should I rewrite it as a more modern Preference Pane plug-in or should I build it more as maybe a menubar app that then allows me to access its preferences that way (as well as maybe turning the app as a whole on and off which the original version did not allow)?

I am using SwiftUI to create an app and I have figured out how to present a scene for my preferences window. However I have yet to find a way to modify the "About "My App"" scene. I am not even sure how to ask the question on other forums because I keep getting informations on application menus. I would like to find information on accessing/changing other menu entries in the menubar (in SwiftUI) an most specifically I would like to find out how to present a custom window (or at least custom information) when the user selects "About "My App"" I guess I don't need a solution but a pointer to documentation that will help me in my quest.

I'm using CFPreferencesSetValue and and CFPreferencesSynchronize. I can see the change reflected in the com.apple.powermanagement.plist but when I use pmset to inspect the numbers currently in use they are not what is set in the preference plist. I'm losing my mind as I've been working on this for several weeks (on and off) trying to solve it. Can anyone provide a clue as to what I should do?

iPhone 12 is adjusted to the minimum in WeChat and the font in the settings is also adjusted to the smallest, it is as big as the standard font of iPhone 11. Why is the gap between the 6.1-inch screen fonts so large? It looks really uncomfortable and affects the user experience.

We have a system prefs panel that runs fine on many versions of mac OS, including Big Sur, but crashes on Monterey betas. The pref panel needs to do some IPC with a daemon process, for which it uses mach ports (and the code for that is in a shared framework outside of the prefpane bundle, if that matters). All components of this setup are signed and notarized. We have a separate app that makes the same IPC calls as the pref panel, and it runs fine on Monterey. The crash log shows a Termination Reason I've never seen before, and it seems that crash reporter hasn't either: Termination Reason: Namespace <0x17>, Code 0x2000020000013507 So, should we wait for the next beta and see if things fix themselves, or bag the System Preferences environment altogether and just go with a separate app (20 years of documentation be damned)?

Hi, When I click on the padlock to unlock the Security and Privacy panel the password box shakes indicating the password is incorrect. Same behaviour on the Users &amp; Groups panel. Successfully changed the password in Terminal with passed command. Also changed using “security set-keychain-password”. Unable to unlock the panels with the new password after the passed command or security set-keychain-password command. Any ideas?
