I am currently developing a macOS app that can show system HUDs in the Notch
Till Sequoia I used to kill the OSDUIHelper process (which displays the default macOS Volume and Brightness control HUDs) - and replaced it with my app's HUDs
But, it is not working on macOS Tahoe anymore as the OSDUIHelper process is no longer there due to the UI changes
Has the process been renamed - or is there any other way to kill the process?
I’m not going to be able to help you with this.
We don’t support folks killing arbitrary system processes. This is problematic for a variety of reasons, but the big issue here is that the name, location, and behaviour of system processes are all implementation details. If you build a product that relies on such implementation details, you are likely to run into compatibility problems down the line.
Which is exactly what’s happened in this case )-:
My advice is that you find an alternative way to achieve your ultimate goal. If you’re unable to do so, I recommend that you file an enhancement request for a supported path forward, making sure to explain your requirements and the reasons why the current mechanism don’t work for you.
If you do file an ER, please post your bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
