Hi, I am developing QuickLook Thumbnail Extension and QuickLook Preview Extension which work with embroidery files. To prepare the view, I need to access stitches from the "stitch" file (supplied to my extension by system) and also to read the "colors" from related file (i.e. the file with different extension, but the same filename as "stitch" file). The embrodery is located stored in 2 files: squirrel.dst (stitchs) and squirrel.edr (colors). Is it even possible to extend sandbox in extensions for this task? I have tried to ask user to select folder in main.app (NSOpenPanel), create security-scoped Bookmark in main.app and access it from extension. However, this is not working - in the extension it is not possible to resolve the bookmark created in main.app. I have also tried to use mechanism for accessing related files as shown at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/app_sandbox/protecting_user_data_with_app_sandbox, using NSFilePresenter/NSFileCoordinator. It works in main.app, but doesn't work in QuickLook Thumbnail Extension and QuickLook Preview Extension. Is there any mechanism on Mac which would allow me to access more than the "supplied" file URL in QuickLook Thumbnail Extension and QuickLook Preview Extension? Ladislav

Hi! Is it possible to disable the option for users to 'Sign in with Another Device'? I encounter this message during the authentication process and I want to prevent it from appearing. I appreciate your help and look forward to your response.

I was trying to check the documentation for handleNewUDPFlow over at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/neappproxyprovider/3192017-handlenewudpflow and... it says it's deprecated on everything. Retroactively.

XCode 16 beta1 and beta2 hangs whenever I try to open Localizable.xcstrings. The localization screen appears but afterwards XCode becomes unresponsive until I kill it. To make matters worse, upon restart the last window, Localizaton is reloaded, instantly causing a hang again (I need to be super quick as I have about half a second to try to click elsewhere like crazy). The same localization strings file works fine on XCode 15.4. I tried to export all localizations in 15.4, empty the file, re-generate localization strings, re-import languages one by one in 16, starting with different languages (thinking maybe a weird exotic character causes the issue with one of the languages, this happened previously crashing XCode 15 until I found the offending character and replaced it with something else). But generally even after just adding a single language there is a serious slowdown - after adding the second one, XCode hangs again. Note: the app in question has a lot of localizable strings - I had no issue creating a simple project with only a few strings. Just hoping a fix - I really wished the issue was fixed in beta2 but now I am a bit concerned that maybe it's a rare problem and might not get fixed as I saw no similar reports so far.

Hi, my Xcode is crashing immediately after clicking on 'Distribute' (after selecting 'Distribution Method', and regardless of the method I choose). I've tried: Updated Xcode Cleared Derived Data Updated macOS Created new signing certificates After all changes I created new archives but had the same result on distribute. I recently cleaned up my mac, so I suspect I might've deleted something important. My touch bar also recently broke. Other than that, I can't think of any other variables since my last successful distribution attempt. Please help, I've never experienced any issues like this. I've attached snippets from the report as a text file, but the full report was too large: xcode_crash_report.txt

After updating Xcode to beta 2 the predictive code completion disappeared. Does anyone know if it is possible to re-enable it somehow? MacOS Version: 15.0 Beta 2 (24A5279h) Xcode Version: 16.0 beta 2 (16A5171r)

Until recently our app was properly visible on the app store search results. No new builds were sent and no settings were changed on the app store connect. But now the app is not visible in the search results. It can be accessed through the direct app link though. Is there a recent change in the guidelines or something? any suggestions will be helpful.

I've been trying to create in-app purchases for the last few hours but every time I do, App Store Connect says "An error has occured. Try Again". I was able to create in app purchases yesterday but now this error is showing up. I've tried some of the solutions for related errors. I've tried to use incognito, switched browser from Chrome to Safari and even switched from Mac to laptop but this error still persists. Does anyone know a solution to this?

I want to create a Project Template with an icon that matches the default Xcode templates. I created a vector example icon and saved it as TemplateIcon.svg and it gets displayed for my .xcodetemplate. I would like it to blend in with Apple's default icons (which I know are assets contained inside Xcode bundles). I have tried with fill="currentColor" in my svg xml but it doesn't work. I couldn't find any technical documentation about this. It would be great to know how to design an icon that gets dynamically tinted by Xcode like the default ones. Thanks 🙂

I have created an archive for both iOS and MacOS versions of my app by doing the the following steps Destinations select Build Any Mac (Mac Catalyst, arm64, x86_64) Product > Archive However when doing the same steps for VisionOS I get an error Invalid Run Destination I have selected both destinations, visionOS Simulator and Build any VisionOS simulator device (arm64, x86_64) I am able to run the app and test, now I would like to upload to AppStoreConnect for TestFlight and App Store submission.

Hi, I'm using macOS 15 beta 2 on an external SSD with Xcode 16 Beta 2. The Predictive Code Completion model option is grayed out under Xcode Settings > Text Editing > Editing. The information button shows a message saying this feature is not supported in my region. I am located in the USA and using a 16GB RAM iMac M1 from the Apple Store. Is the Predictive Code Completion feature unavailable to free developer accounts? If not, any ideas on why I can't download the model? Thanks!

I recently switched to the new iphone 15 pro max - I tried downloading the BillTracker app by SnapTap and it is telling me it is no longer available in the app store. I had all my bill tracking information on there, I have used it for years. How can I get my information from there!?

All sounds are low, speakers not sound or similar. on iOS Beta 1 works well. Same problems with the volume?

Our company has multiple developers, but when Apple issues a new user agreement, only one person in the company can agree. Is there a way to have multiple legal binding authorities in a company? I don't want just one person to have the authority and I don't want to lose the ability to update our apps if that one person hasn't submitted all of the formal paperwork.
