Greetings, does anyone know if can I use background capabilities to refresh auth token safely without be aware of the OS kill this task? Is there any Apple Oficial recommended flow to handle that? thanks

我这边用了几台机器升级iOS 18.1并没有测试出来问题，但是审核员测试出来了问题，并将崩溃报告发给了我。 以下是审核员发给我的的测试环境及崩溃报告： Device type: iPad Air (5th generation) OS version: iOS 18.1 崩溃报告如下： Thread 0 name: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x196ae7c38 objc_msgSend + 56 1 UIKitCore 0x19bf9c0f4 -[UIView bounds] + 32 2 UIKitCore 0x19c14e15c -[UIScrollView _didEndDirectManipulationWithScrubbingDirection:] + 108 3 UIKitCore 0x19d4cd3e8 -[UIScrollView _stopScrollingNotify:pin:tramplingAnimationDependentFlags:] + 108 4 UIKitCore 0x19d4cd548 -[UIScrollView _stopScrollingAndZoomingAnimationsPinningToContentViewport:tramplingAnimationDependentFlags:] + 52 5 UIKitCore 0x19c385a28 -[UIScrollView dealloc] + 88 6 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x221c29860 bool HelperBase::disposeCapture<(HelperBase::BlockCaptureKind)3>(unsigned int, unsigned char*) + 68 7 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x221c29570 HelperBase::destroyBlock(Block_layout*, bool, unsigned char*) + 160 8 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x221c29030 _call_dispose_helpers_excp + 72 9 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0x221c28fcc _Block_release + 256 10 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a14fe0d0 _dispatch_client_callout + 20 11 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a150c9e0 _dispatch_main_queue_drain + 980 12 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a150c5fc _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF + 44 13 CoreFoundation 0x1997fc204 CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE + 16 14 CoreFoundation 0x1997f9440 __CFRunLoopRun + 1996 15 CoreFoundation 0x1997f8830 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 588 16 GraphicsServices 0x1e57d81c4 GSEventRunModal + 164 17 UIKitCore 0x19c35eeb0 -[UIApplication _run] + 816 18 UIKitCore 0x19c40d5b4 UIApplicationMain + 340 19 BXT 0x104d90090 0x104aa4000 + 3063952 20 dyld 0x1bf1e6ec8 start + 2724 Thread 1: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 2: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 3: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 4 name: com.apple.uikit.eventfetch-thread Thread 4: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bba688 mach_msg2_trap + 8 1 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbdd98 mach_msg2_internal + 80 2 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbdcb0 mach_msg_overwrite + 424 3 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbdafc mach_msg + 24 4 CoreFoundation 0x1997f9a84 __CFRunLoopServiceMachPort + 160 5 CoreFoundation 0x1997f9130 __CFRunLoopRun + 1212 6 CoreFoundation 0x1997f8830 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 588 7 Foundation 0x1984a0500 -[NSRunLoop(NSRunLoop) runMode:beforeDate:] + 212 8 Foundation 0x1984a0350 -[NSRunLoop(NSRunLoop) runUntilDate:] + 64 9 UIKitCore 0x19c372358 -[UIEventFetcher threadMain] + 420 10 Foundation 0x1984b16c8 NSThread__start + 724 11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c3137c _pthread_start + 136 12 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c494 thread_start + 8 Thread 5: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 6: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 7: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 8: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 9: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c480 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 10 name: JavaScriptCore libpas scavenger Thread 10: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbff90 __psynch_cvwait + 8 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2ea50 _pthread_cond_wait + 1204 2 JavaScriptCore 0x1b156aca4 scavenger_thread_main + 1512 3 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c3137c _pthread_start + 136 4 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c494 thread_start + 8 Thread 11 name: WebThread Thread 11: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bba688 mach_msg2_trap + 8 1 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbdd98 mach_msg2_internal + 80 2 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbdcb0 mach_msg_overwrite + 424 3 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x1e9bbdafc mach_msg + 24 4 CoreFoundation 0x1997f9a84 __CFRunLoopServiceMachPort + 160 5 CoreFoundation 0x1997f9130 __CFRunLoopRun + 1212 6 CoreFoundation 0x1997f8830 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 588 7 WebCore 0x1ad46bb18 RunWebThread(void*) + 780 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c3137c _pthread_start + 136 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x221c2c494 thread_start + 8 Thread 0 crashed with ARM Thread State (64-bit): x0: 0x00000003029b1840 x1: 0x0000000208981838 x2: 0x0000000000000000 x3: 0x0000000000000000 x4: 0x0000000000000001 x5: 0x00000f0300000000 x6: 0x0000000000000002 x7: 0x0000000000000000 x8: 0x00000000000000a0 x9: 0x0000000208981838 x10: 0x00000000024b036c x11: 0x00000000024b036c x12: 0x0000000000000000 x13: 0x00000000024b036c x14: 0x00000003029b1bc0 x15: 0x00000003029b1bc0 x16: 0x00000003029b1bc0 x17: 0x0000000205f46018 x18: 0x0000000000000000 x19: 0x0000000136841400 x20: 0x00000001fd5f4588 x21: 0xffffffffffffffff x22: 0x00000000000006d8 x23: 0x0000000136841ad8 x24: 0x0000000000000000 x25: 0x00000001fd5969e0 x26: 0x00000003032b7640 x27: 0x000000000000000f x28: 0x0000000000000000 fp: 0x000000016b35a4e0 lr: 0x000000019bf9c0f4 sp: 0x000000016b35a4e0 pc: 0x0000000196ae7c38 cpsr: 0x20001000 far: 0x00000000024b036c esr: 0x92000006 (Data Abort) byte read Translation fault

I created a macOS app, added an XPC service target, and also added a source editor extension. in The source editor extension‘s perform function. It doesn't work - (void)performCommandWithInvocation:(XCSourceEditorCommandInvocation *)invocation completionHandler:(void (^)(NSError * _Nullable nilOrError))completionHandler { self.xpcConnect = [[NSXPCConnection alloc] initWithServiceName:@"test.TestNewXPCApp.NewXPC"]; NSXPCInterface *interface = [NSXPCInterface interfaceWithProtocol:@protocol(NewXPCProtocol)]; self.xpcConnect.remoteObjectInterface = interface; [self.xpcConnect resume]; [[self.xpcConnect remoteObjectProxy] performCalculationWithNumber:@231 andNumber:@119 withReply:^(NSNumber *reply) { // We have received a response. NSLog(@"ui success%@", reply); }]; But In ViewControler.m, executing the same code , it can work. So why is it possible to connect to the XPC service from within the macOS app, but not from the source editor extension?

Hi, I want to create a custom application launcher, so I'd like the app to be able to just list the apps installed and launch them when touched. My idea is to have a Minimalist UI in order to enhance productivity. Is it possible? I see there is already one App doing it https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dumb-phone/id6504743503 I want to do something similar, so how does the App in the link obtains the Apps installed on the device?

Hello everyone! I'm having a problem with background tasks running in the foreground. When a user enters the app, a background task is triggered. I've written some code to check if the app is in the foreground and to prevent the task from running, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes the task runs in the background as expected, but other times it runs in the foreground, as I mentioned earlier. Could it be that I'm doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated. here is code: class BackgroundTaskService { @Environment(\.scenePhase) var scenePhase static let shared = BackgroundTaskService() private init() {} // MARK: - create task func createCheckTask() { let identifier = TaskIdentifier.check BGTaskScheduler.shared.getPendingTaskRequests { requests in if requests.contains(where: { $0.identifier == identifier.rawValue }) { return } self.createByInterval(identifier: identifier.rawValue, interval: identifier.interval) } } private func createByInterval(identifier: String, interval: TimeInterval) { let request = BGProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: identifier) request.earliestBeginDate = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: interval) scheduleTask(request: request) } // MARK: submit task private func scheduleTask(request: BGProcessingTaskRequest) { do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) } catch { // some actions with error } } // MARK: background actions func checkTask(task: BGProcessingTask) { let today = Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: Date()) let lastExecutionDate = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "lastCheckExecutionDate") as? Date ?? Date.distantPast let notRunnedToday = !Calendar.current.isDate(today, inSameDayAs: lastExecutionDate) guard notRunnedToday else { task.setTaskCompleted(success: true) createCheckTask() return } if scenePhase == .background { TaskActionStore.shared.getAction(for: task.identifier)?() } task.setTaskCompleted(success: true) UserDefaults.standard.set(today, forKey: "lastCheckExecutionDate") createCheckTask() } } And in AppDelegate: BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: "check", using: nil) { task in guard let task = task as? BGProcessingTask else { return } BackgroundTaskService.shared.checkNodeTask(task: task) } BackgroundTaskService.shared.createCheckTask()

I am encountering an issue when making an API call using URLSession with DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async on a real device running tvOS 18. The code works as expected on tvOS 17 and in the simulator for tvOS 18, but when I remove the debug mode, After the API call it takes few mintues or 5 to 10 min to load the data on the real device. Code: Here’s the code I am using for the API call: appconfig.getFeedURLData(feedUrl: feedUrl, timeOut: kRequestTimeOut, apiMethod: ApiMethod.POST.rawValue) { (result) in self.EpisodeItems = Utilities.sharedInstance.getEpisodeArray(data: result) } func getFeedURLData(feedUrl: String, timeOut: Int, apiMethod: String, completion: @escaping (_ result: Data?) -> ()) { guard let validUrl = URL(string: feedUrl) else { return } var request = URLRequest(url: validUrl, cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy, timeoutInterval: TimeInterval(timeOut)) let userPasswordString = "\(KappSecret):\(KappPassword)" let userPasswordData = userPasswordString.data(using: .utf8) let base64EncodedCredential = userPasswordData!.base64EncodedString(options: .lineLength64Characters) let authString = "Basic \(base64EncodedCredential)" let headers = [ "authorization": authString, "cache-control": "no-cache", "user-agent": "TN-CTV-\(kPlateForm)-\(kAppVersion)" ] request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") request.httpMethod = apiMethod request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers let response = URLSession.requestSynchronousData(request as URLRequest) if response.1 != nil { do { guard let parsedData = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.1!, options: .mutableContainers) as? AnyObject else { print("Error parsing data") completion(nil) return } print(parsedData) completion(response.1) return } catch let error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") completion(response.1) return } } completion(response.1) } import Foundation public extension URLSession { public static func requestSynchronousData(_ request: URLRequest) -> (URLResponse?, Data?) { var data: Data? = nil var responseData: URLResponse? = nil let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 0) let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { taskData, response, error in data = taskData responseData = response if data == nil, let error = error { print(error) } semaphore.signal() } task.resume() _ = semaphore.wait(timeout: .distantFuture) return (responseData, data) } public static func requestSynchronousDataWithURLString(_ requestString: String) -> (URLResponse?, Data?) { guard let url = URL(string: requestString.checkValidUrl()) else { return (nil, nil) } let request = URLRequest(url: url) return URLSession.requestSynchronousData(request) } } Issue Description: Working scenario: The API call works fine on tvOS 17 and in the simulator for tvOS 18. Problem: When running on a real device with tvOS 18, the API call takes time[enter image description here] when debug mode is disabled, but works fine when debug mode is enabled, Data is loading after few minutes. Error message: Error Domain=WKErrorDomain Code=11 "Timed out while loading attributed string content" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Timed out while loading attributed string content} NSURLConnection finished with error - code -1001 nw_read_request_report [C4] Receive failed with error "Socket is not connected" Snapshot request 0x30089b3c0 complete with error: <NSError: 0x3009373f0; domain: BSActionErrorDomain; code: 1 ("response-not-possible")> tcp_input [C7.1.1.1:3] flags=[R] seq=817957096, ack=0, win=0 state=CLOSE_WAIT rcv_nxt=817957096, snd_una=275546887 Environment: Xcode version: 16.1 Real device: Model A1625 (32GB) tvOS version: 18.1 Debugging steps I’ve taken: I’ve verified that the issue does not occur in debug mode. I’ve confirmed that the API call works fine on tvOS 17 and in the simulator (tvOS 18). The error suggests a network timeout (-1001) and a socket connection issue ("Socket is not connected"). Questions: Is this a known issue with tvOS 18 on real devices? Are there any specific settings or configurations in tvOS 18 that could be causing the timeout error in non-debug mode? Could this be related to how URLSession or networking behaves differently in release mode? I would appreciate any help or insights into this issue!

I have an app, that when enters the background schedules a task to run. The earliest possible time value is set, as is the completion handler when the task eventually runs. It seems to run pretty reliably for the 1st few interations and then (from looking at the streaming Console logs), doesn't seem to reach a high CP score to execute next time around. eg '......background.task:EDBC23' CurrentScore: 0.648418, ThresholdScore: 0.808034 DecisionToRun:0 looking at the previous entries before this, I can see the breakdown... {name: Application Policy, policyWeight: 50.000, response: {0, 0.35}} {name: Device Activity Policy, policyWeight: 5.000, response: {0, 0.50}} ], Decision: CP Score: 0.648418} and I understand certain elements are outside of our control; however, is there a preferred method to get a background task (which ultimately runs an API call) to trigger consistently? The silent-push method has come up a few times - but of course, if the user disables / doesn't consent to push notifications, that fails Any suggestions?

I'm using flutter's inappwebview. All functions work on my simulator and phone, but when I submit for review, I get an answer saying infinite loading. How did it happen? I don't know what the problem is.

I'm try to monitor all processes by ES client. But I found the process name is different from the Activity Monitor displayed. As shown in the picture below, there are ShareSheetUI(Pages) and ShareSheetUI(Finder) processes in Activity Monitor, but I can only get the same name ShareSheetUI, I thought of many ways to display the name in parentheses, but nothing worked, so there is a way to display the process name like Activity Monitor?

I would like to implement an expression that pops out from the window to Immersive based on the following WWDC video. This video introduces the new features of visionOS 2.0 in the form of refurbishing Apple's sample app BOT-anist. https://developer.apple.com/jp/videos/play/wwdc2024/10153/?time=1252 In the video, it looks like ImmersiveSpaceAppModel is newly implemented. However, the key code is not mentioned anywhere. You pass appModel.robot as the from argument to the transform method of RealityViewContent. It seems that BOT-anist has been updated once and can be downloaded from the following URL, but there is no class such as ImmersiveSpaceAppModel implemented in this app either. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/bot-anist Has it been further updated again? Frankly, I'm not sure if it is possible to proceed as per the WWDC video. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Recently, after updating the Developer app to the latest version, my iPad has been unable to open this app as it crashes immediately upon launch. Prior to the update, the app functioned normally. My device is an 11-inch iPad Pro from 2021, running iPadOS 17.3. I have tried troubleshooting steps such as reinstalling the app and restarting the device, but these actions have not resolved the issue. However, I need to use this specific version of the system, iPadOS 17.3, for software testing purposes and cannot upgrade the system. Other apps on my device work normally without any issues. Is there a solution to this problem? I have attempted to contact the developer support team in China, but they were also unable to provide a resolution. This issue is reproducible 100% of the time on my iPad.

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Logs and data from our application indicate various errors that strongly suggest that our application is being launched in a state in which the device is likely locked. We are looking for guidance on how to identify, debug, reproduce, and fix these cases. Our application does not use any of the common mechanisms for background activity, such as Background App Refresh, Navigation, Audio, etc. Errors we get in our logs such as "authorization denied (code: 23)" when trying to access a file in our app's container on disk (a simple disk cache for data our application uses) strongly suggest that the device is operating in a state, such as being locked, where our application lacks the requisite permissions it would normally have during operation. Furthermore, attempts to access authentication information stored in the keychain also fails. We use kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked when accessing items we store in the keychain. We have investigated "Prewarming", as well as our notification extension that helps process incoming push notifications, but cannot find any way to recreate this behavior. Are there any steps Apple engineers can recommend to triage and debug this? Some additional questions that would help us: What are all of the symptoms that we can look for if prewarming escapes the intended execution context? What are all of the circumstances in which we would be unauthorized to access the app’s documents/file directories even if it works correctly in normal operation? STEPS TO REPRODUCE Unfortunately, we are unable to forcibly reproduce this behavior in our application, so we're looking for guidance on how we might simulate this behavior in Xcode / Instruments. Are there tools that Apple provides that would allow us to simulate certain behaviors like prewarming to verify our application's functionality? Are there other reasons our application might be launched while the device is locked? Are there other reasons we would receive security errors when accessing the keychain or disk that are unrelated to the device being locked?

I am writing an app which mainly is used to update data used by other apps on the device. After the user initializes some values in the app, they almost never have to return to it (occasionally to add a "friend"). The app needs to run a background task at least daily, however, without the user's intervention (or even awareness, once they've given permission). My understanding of background refresh tasks is that if the user doesn't activate the app in the foreground periodically, the scheduled background tasks may never run. If this is true, do I want to use a background processing task instead, or is there a better solution (or have I misunderstood entirely)?

Hi, I have requirement in iOS where application needs to run in the background It can be a simple hello world program running in the background. could you shed some light on what is the expected behaviour and is it allowed in iOS.

Hi, I'm trying to create a launch daemon that uses XPC to receive requests from an unprivileged app. Ultimately both components will be written in Go. For now I'm trying to write a PoC in Objective-C to make sure I get everything right, so I'm compiling / signing from the CLI, and writing plist files by hand -- I'm not using XCode. My current daemon code is pretty much the same as the boilerplate code that XCode generates when creating a new 'XPC Service': #import <stdio.h> #include <xpc/xpc.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { xpc_rich_error_t error; dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create("com.foobar.daemon", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL); xpc_listener_t listener = xpc_listener_create( "com.foobar.daemon", queue, XPC_LISTENER_CREATE_NONE, ^(xpc_session_t _Nonnull peer) { xpc_session_set_incoming_message_handler(peer, ^(xpc_object_t _Nonnull message) { int64_t firstNumber = xpc_dictionary_get_int64(message, "firstNumber"); int64_t secondNumber = xpc_dictionary_get_int64(message, "secondNumber"); // Create a reply and send it back to the client. xpc_object_t reply = xpc_dictionary_create_reply(message); xpc_dictionary_set_int64(reply, "result", firstNumber + secondNumber); xpc_rich_error_t replyError = xpc_session_send_message(peer, reply); if (replyError) { printf("Reply failed, error: %s", xpc_rich_error_copy_description(replyError)); } }); }, &error); if (error != NULL) { printf("ERROR: %s\n", xpc_rich_error_copy_description(error)); exit(1); } printf("Created listener: %s", xpc_listener_copy_description(listener)); // Resuming the serviceListener starts this service. This method does not return. dispatch_main(); return 0; } I'm compiling, signing and installing my daemon with the following commands: build_foobar() { clang -Wall -x objective-c -o com.foobar.daemon poc/main.m codesign --force --verify --verbose --options=runtime \ --identifier="com.foobar.daemon" \ --sign="Mac Developer: Albin Kerouanton (XYZ)" \ --entitlements=poc/entitlements.plist \ com.foobar.daemon } install_foobar() { sudo cp com.foobar.daemon /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.foobar.daemon sudo cp poc/com.foobar.daemon.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.foobar.daemon.plist sudo launchctl bootout system/com.foobar.daemon || true sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.foobar.daemon.plist } Here's the content of my entitlements.plist file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>ABCD.com.foobar.daemon</string> </dict> </plist> And finally, here's my launchd plist file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.foobar.daemon</string> <key>Program</key> <string>/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.foobar.daemon</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.foobar.daemon</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <false/> <key>StandardOutPath</key> <string>/tmp/com.foobar.daemon.out.log</string> <key>StandardErrorPath</key> <string>/tmp/com.foobar.daemon.err.log</string> <key>Debug</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Whenever I start my service using sudo launchctl start com.foobar.daemon, it exits with the following error message: ERROR: Unable to activate listener: failed at listener activation with error 1 - Operation not permitted System logs don't show anything interesting -- they're just repeating the same error message. I tried to add / remove some properties from both the entitlement and the launchd plist file but to no avail. Any idea what's going wrong?

I am considering to use the BGAppRefreshTask mechanism, and while I think I have read and understood all documentation and hints in this forum about it (especially the limitations), the one thing I do not understand is: how can I debug it? I cannot find a way to trigger the BGAppRefreshTask execution reliably and immediately. I would have expected the Xcode Debug->Simulate Background Fetch menu to do this for me, but it only sends the app into the background. I am working with the unmodified (except for a few added print()) ColorFeed sample code project from Apple, which schedules a task 15min into the future when it goes to the background. Using a real device, I have not managed to trigger execution of the BGAppRefreshTask more often than once a day so far. Surely, there must be a way to trigger it much more often solely for debugging and development purposes (I am totally happy with all restrictions for the final app). So what detail am I missing here?

Hello, I'm developing a Mac application that uses a network extension. I'm trying to implement XPC to pass data between my main app and system extension and I'm using the SimpleFirewall demo app as a guide to do this. One thing I can't understand is how the ViewController in the SimpleFirewall main app has access to the class IPCConnection in the SimpleFirewallExtension without it being public and without SimpleFirewallExtension being imported in ViewController.

How to execute code on main app when interacted with a live activity, given that they are already interactable. is there a way without opening the app? what are the best ways?

Hi! I've been developing iOS and macOS apps for many years, but now I am looking to dive into smth i have never touched before, namely privileged helpers, and i am struggling hard trying to find my footing. Here’s my use case: I have a CLI tool that requires elevated privileges. I want to create a menu bar app that can interact with this tool, but I’m struggling to find solid documentation or examples of how to accomplish this using SMAppService. I might just be missing something obvious. If anyone could point me toward relevant documentation, examples, articles, tutorials, or even a WWDC session that covers running privileged helpers with SMAppService, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I'm using libxpc in a C server and Swift client. I set up a code-signing requirement in the server using xpc_connection_set_peer_code_signing_requirement(). However, when the client doesn't meet the requirement, the server just closes the connection, and I get XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INTERRUPTED on the client side instead of XPC_ERROR_PEER_CODE_SIGNING_REQUIREMENT, making debugging harder. What I want: To receive XPC_ERROR_PEER_CODE_SIGNING_REQUIREMENT on the client when code-signing fails, for better debugging. What I’ve tried: Using xpc_connection_set_peer_code_signing_requirement(), but it causes the connection to be dropped immediately. Questions: Why does the server close the connection without sending the expected error? How can I receive the correct error on the client side? Are there any other methods for debugging code-signing failures with libxpc? Thanks for any insights!
