Hi There is a critical code section between the app and its app extensions that needs to be synchronized and done atomically. What would be a suitable solution to achieve locking and synchronization between app’s processes? Is there a way to share memory or an operation queue between the app and its app extensions? Thank you

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.

created a custom PAM module following this and It works fine with etc/pam.d/sudo but doesn't work with etc/pam.d/authorization and etc/pam.d/login. sudo # sudo: auth account password session auth include sudo_local auth sufficient /usr/local/Cellar/cpam/1.0.0/lib/security/cpam.so auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so auth required pam_opendirectory.so account required pam_permit.so password required pam_deny.so session required pam_permit.so authorization # authorization: auth account auth sufficient /usr/local/Cellar/cpam/1.0.0/lib/security/cpam.so auth optional pam_krb5.so use_first_pass use_kcminit no_auth_ccache auth optional pam_ntlm.so use_first_pass auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so use_first_pass account required pam_opendirectory.so Is it even allowed to add a custom PAM to \etc\pam.d\login or etc\pam.d\authorization ? Is it possible to create a mechanism with custom logic and replace it withbuiltin:authenticate,privileged in system.login.console authorization right ? Note: I have also tried moving the .so file to /usr/lib/pam but it failed even after disabling SIP.

Has anyone used satellite imagery on WatchOS 10? I am trying to set the mapStyle ... .mapStyle(.imagery(elevation: .automatic)) ... for the map and it doesn't seem to have any effect, the map is just the standard map style. The documentation for mapStyle indicates that it is available. Any help would be appreciated. Ultra 2, WatchOS 10.4, Xcode 15.3

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 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.

Hello, I am facing a passkey authentication during cross device authentication.

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?

Dear developers, now that we have played with Vision Pro for 3 months, I am wondering why some features are missing on Vision Pro, especially some seem to be very basic/fundamental. So I would like to see if you know more about the reasons or correct me if I'm wrong! You are also welcome to share features that you think is fundamental, but missing on Vision Pro. My list goes below: (1) GPS/Compass: cost? heat? battery? (2) Moving image tracking: surrounding environment processing is already too computing intensive? (3) 3D object tracking: looks like only supported on iOS and iPadOS, but not visionOS (4) Does not invoke application focus/pause callback: maybe I'm wrong? But we were not able to detect if an app has been put on background or brought to foreground to invoke a callback

I'm trying to understand better how to 'navigate' around a large USD scene inside a RealityView in SwiftUI (itself in a volume on VisionOS). With a little trial and error I have been able to understand scale and translate transforms, and I can have the USD zoom to 'presets' of different scale and translation transforms. Separately I can also rotate an unscaled and untranslated USD, and have it rotate in place 90 degrees at a time to return to a rotation of 0 degrees. But if I try to combine the two activities, the rotation occurs around the center of the USD, not my zoomed location. Is there a session or sample code available that combines these activities? I think I would understand relatively quickly if I saw it in action. Thanks for any pointers available!

I'm experiencing an issue with WKWebView and localStorage. I've set up a standard WKWebView with the configuration: configuration.websiteDataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default() Everything works fine in the emulator (iOS 16.x, 17.0), but on my iPhone 13 running iOS 17.4, I encounter a problem. When I set a localStorage value on my local HTML page, navigate to another URL within the webview, and then return to the original page, the localStorage is cleared. This behavior is new and wasn't happening before. Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions on how to fix it? The localstorage should be persistent as it always has been.

Hello, We're developing a framework that needs to talk to a camera on iOS. We've written a Driverkit Extension to enable this but we're having trouble working out how to distribute this to third parties. We have to specify the application's bundle id in the driverkit's bundle ID. But as far as I can tell that means if there are multiple consumers, they each need their own specially built driverkit extension. For MacOS, we can see an entitlement that allow any 'user client' to connect to our driverkit extension. But from what I can tell, that doesn't seem to be the same for iOS. Am I missing something? Or is it expected that we should have to build a new driverkit extension with a different bundle ID for every app that every third party wants to develop? Let me know if I'm missing too much context, thanks in advance!

Hello，technologists！ I want to take screenshot in visionOS，but i dont know which API is applicative。Now，i try to use “RPScreenRecorder” ，but it‘s not work。And “UIScreen” is not supported by visionOS。

For apps with a login service, the App Review Guidelines require: The login option limits data collection to the user’s name and email address. The login option allows users to keep their email address private as part of setting up their account. The login option does not collect interactions with the app for advertising purposes without consent. I want to use Google Authentication using GIDSignIn pod as my sole authenticator, to avoid the hassle of dealing with username and password. Is it possible to configure GIDSignIn to adhere to these data collection requirements?

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 built a custom binary which requires elevated privileges to execute. I wrote a launchd plist file and loaded it. On loading , the app is working as expected but lot of apps were corrupted. Apps like chrome, slack, zoom etc became un openable . Even my mouse right click stopped working.
