I am writing an NSFileProviderExtension for my app. Every once in a while it will get to a point where
NSFileProviderManager.getDomainsWithCompletionHandler { domains, error in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if let error = error {
completion(.failure(.domainQueryFailed(error)))
} else {
completion(.success(domains))
}
}
}
this always fails, once this happens then regardless of what I do - clean build, restart machine, uninstall plugin nothing works. The only way to get back to a wokring state is a full reinstall of the OS. It seems like when this happens Finder gets to a weird irrecoverable state that only a restart can fix.
Is there anything I can do to address this? I have a laptop which is in this state. Finder has this image attached
First, for a new file provider extension project, you will want to use NSFileProviderReplicatedExtension, and not NSFileProviderExtension, as shown in the following sample project:
Secondly, to look into the issue you described, you can start with gathering more info about the error. Does getDomainsWithCompletionHandler give you any error message? If it doesn't, consider capturing a sysdiagnose by installing the file provider profile and following the instruction.
Best,
