We have a test tool our engineers use to launch various versions of our application during development and verification. Each daily build of our application is stored on a server. As well, each push of a change generates a new build of our application that is stored on a server. These are added to a database and the developer application accesses the server via REST to find the desired version to run, retrieves a server path and launches the application. This tool is valuable in finding pushes that introduced regressions. The developer application (Runner) is using the launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error: (deprecated I know) to launch the app. Prior to Catalina, this was working great. However, as of Catalina, this process is taking a VERY long time due to the app needing to be "verified". the app seems to need to be copied to the users machine and verified. It only occurs the first launch, but as most of the time the users are running new push or daily builds, it has made the app useless. With the new remote work environment it is even worse as VPN copy can take forever. I have switched to using NSTask with a shell script to open the executable in the bundle. If I add the developer tool (Runner) to the Developer Tools in Privacy this seems to launch the application without the need for verification. However this just seems wrong. It also provides little feedback to know when the application is up and running, which makes my user experience poor. As well many of the systems we use this tool on for verification do not have Developer Tools installed. They are VMs. Is there a way for me to use the launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error: (or the new openApplicationAtURL:configuration:completionHandler:) to launch these versions of the application without the need for the lengthy verification process? Adding our application to the Developer Tools did not seem to help.

Hello! I am playing around with the PHPickerViewController and so far I was able to get the selected images by loading them into UIImage instances but I don't know how to get the selected video. Below is the relevant implementation of the method: func picker(_ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]): let provider = result.itemProvider guard provider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(AVFileType.mov.rawValue) else { return } 						provider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: AVFileType.mov.rawValue, options: nil) { (fileURL, error) in 								if let error = error { 										print(error) 										return 								} 								guard let videoURL = fileURL as? URL else { return } 								DispatchQueue.main.async { 										let fm = FileManager.default 										let destination = fm.temporaryDirectory.appendingPathComponent("video123.mov") 										try! fm.copyItem(at: videoURL, to: destination) 										let playerVC = AVPlayerViewController() 										playerVC.player = AVPlayer(url: destination) 										self.present(playerVC, animated: true, completion: nil) 								} 						} I get crash trying to copy the item. It says the source file does not exists but the path looks real to me. "The file “3C2BCCBC-4474-491B-90C2-93DF848AADF5.mov” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." I tried it without copying first and just passing the URL to AVPlayer but nothing would play. I am testing this on a simulator. Thanks for help!

I'm trying to get the WWDC2020 Sports Analysis code running. It's the project named BuildingAFeatureRichAppForSportsAnalysis. It seems that now the boardDetectionRequest fails when trying to run the code in the simulator. The main error that I get is Error Domain=com.apple.vis Code=3 "The VNCoreMLTransform request failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The VNCoreMLTransform request failed, NSUnderlyingError=0x6000024991d0 {Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=0 "Failed to evaluate model 0 in pipeline" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to evaluate model 0 in pipeline}}}. The problem is that I can't tell why the VNImageRequestHandler is failing when trying to detect the board. It doesn't say that it got a bad image. It doesn't say that it didn't detect a board. I'm running the code against the sample movie provided. I believe this used to work. The other error that I see is upon initialization in Common.warmUpVisionPipeline when trying to load I get 2023-09-07 12:58:59.239614-0500 ActionAndVision[3499:34083] [coreml] Failed to get the home directory when checking model path. From what I can tell in the debugger though the board detection model did load. Thanks.
