HI, for my needs I have to install Sequoia on an external disk. From the first beta, I was able to install it without problems and I was also very happy because everything works perfectly and I could verify my apps with XCode. Unfortunately, a few days the external disk decided to abandon me and after purchasing a new one I tried installing Sequoia on the external disk again but this time I started from beta 2. The problem is that I can't install it. It tells me that there are 28 minutes left but after a few minutes the disc is ejected and even if I try to start with the power button, it doesn't start... I'm exhausted....I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.... I also tried to download the Beta 1 version but unfortunately without success, in fact I must say that it's even worse because it tells me that there is no space on the external disk and I don't know what to do. Do you have any ideas? Today I believe BETA 3 will be released and I will try to install that version but I am skeptical that I will be able to install. I add the screenshot and the error log Installer Log 8-Jul-2024.txt

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with my MacBook Pro. I attempted to upgrade it, but now it's stuck on the loading screen. It's been stuck like this for a while, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Could you please provide some guidance on how to resolve this issue? Thank you!

Xcode > Target > Signing & Capabilities Automaticaly manage signing Mac OS Signing Certificate: Development --> Provisioning Profile None Required General Identity App Category Productivity Transporter Asset validation failed (90242) --> "Cannot be used with TestFlight because the bundle at “LargeNumberCalculator.app” is missing a provisioning profile. Main bundles are expected to have provisioning profiles in order to be eligible for TestFlight." (90889). What is wrong: "Provisioning Profile None Required" vs "missing a provisioning profile" ?

We are configuring a passcode policy through MDM where the password expiration is set to 2 months for local accounts (not domain joined). Occasionally, we receive prompts to change the password a few days before it expires. Please refer to the image below. We would like to clarify the following: What is the default timing for these reminders? Specifically, how many days before the password expiration do these prompts typically start appearing? Can we adjust the number of days before these reminders appear? If yes, can this adjustment be made through MDM settings or via a script?

When a package is published via MDM using the Install Enterprise app command provided by Apple On one of the devices, this command is failing with com.apple.appstored.xpc exception but works fine on other macOS devices having the same restrictions and OS version. We tried restarting the device and also the appstored process via Activity Monitor but it was in vain. I am attaching system logs that contain the exception and stack trace when the command failed.

I'm getting a runtime assertion failure like this: "<FFRender3DView 0x616000271580> has reached dealloc but still has a super view. Super views strongly reference their children, so this is being over-released, or has been over-released in the past." Looking at the code, I can't see any strong reference to the view except by its superview, so I can't see how it could be released other than by removal from its superview. My first instinct was to override release and set a breakpoint there, but that's not possible in ARC code.

I am encountering some issues with location services in macOS apps. Despite including the necessary keys in the app’s info.plist, I am unable to request user location permission. Here are the details: Cannot request location permission using requestWhenInUseAuthorization(), ie., no location permission grant permissions popup is appearing. The app contains NSLocationUsageDescription in the info.plist. I have also tested by adding NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription, NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription, and NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription, but it didn't work. So to show the location request popup, I was directly(irrespective of the authorizationStatus) requesting location using requestLocation(), which showed the location permission grant permissions popup. But then I encountered another issue. If the popup is left as it is, every time requestLocation() is called a new location request popup appears (which comes after allowing/denying the popup). Also observed that didChangeAuthorization is only called on allowing/denying the last location request pop up. Initial calls to CLLocationManager().authorizationStatus return Not Determined. When I checked the location permission state of my app on launch, I used to get not Determined for some time, even if the permission was granted. Code snippet: private var locationManager: CLLocationManager { let lm = CLLocationManager() lm.delegate = self lm.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest return lm } private var currentAuthorizationStatus: CLAuthorizationStatus { if #available(macOS 11.0, *) { return CLLocationManager().authorizationStatus } else { return CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() } } switch currentAuthorizationStatus { case .notDetermined: print("requesting permission") locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() case .restricted, .denied: print("location permission is restricted") case .authorizedAlways, .authorizedWhenInUse, .authorized: print("requesting location") locationManager.requestLocation() @unknown default: print("Unknown error occurred") } I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve these issues. Thank you!

As the topic mentioned, I want to add a overlay window onto Apps that are in full screen mode, trying to create some blur effect on the screen. But Apple seems to treat full screen mode Apps differently as a "space." So currently I can only apply the blur effect like this. (This is my Desktop page) But When it doesn't affect the full screen mode Apps. (For example: My Xcode) And I know some of the App down this kind of stuff. Like this This is my current code. Hope someone can tell me how to solve it.

Hello, I'm having some difficulties trying to customise a SwiftUI list-detail splitview using List and OutlineGroup: The model used is provided in Apple documentation OutlineGroup. The contentView is struct ContentView: View { @State var itemString = String() var body: some View { HSplitView { MyOutLine(title: "MyOutLine", itemString: $itemString) .frame(width: 200, height: 300 , alignment: Alignment(horizontal: .leading, vertical: .top)) .padding() MyView(itemString: itemString) } } } The left view is struct MyOutLine: View { let title:String @Binding var itemString:String @State private var selection: FileItem? var body: some View { List(selection: $selection) { OutlineGroup(data, children: \.children) { item in Text ("\(item.description)") .onTapGesture { selection = item itemString = item.description } .listRowBackground( selection == item ? Color.gray :nil ) } } .listStyle(.sidebar) .onAppear { itemString = "No selection"} } } The right view is: struct MyView: View { let itemString:String var body: some View { VStack{ Spacer() HStack { Spacer() Text(itemString) Spacer() } Spacer() } } } The result works but I have 2 problems: The selection works but the detail view is updated only when I click the text but not when I click the rest of the row. This results in the detail view not being sync with the list selection. I would like to customise the colour of the selected row but listRowBackground does not seem to work. Is there a way to fix this Thank you in advance Jean Marie

I have a Mac app with a background-only helper app that needs to have Accessibility permission in order to use an event tap that can modify events. This has worked OK through Sonoma, but in the Sequoia beta it is failing to create the tap. C code to test the ability to create the event tap: static CGEventRef _Nullable DummyTap(CGEventTapProxy proxy, CGEventType type, CGEventRef event, void *userInfo) { return NULL; } static bool CanFilterEvents( void ) { CFMachPortRef thePort = CGEventTapCreate( kCGSessionEventTap, kCGTailAppendEventTap, kCGEventTapOptionDefault, // active filter, not passive listener CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyDown), DummyTap, NULL ); bool madeTap = (thePort != NULL); if (madeTap) { CFMachPortInvalidate( thePort ); CFRelease( thePort ); } return madeTap; } So, on Sequoia, CanFilterEvents returns false in spite of Accessibility permission being granted in System Settings. CGPreflightPostEventAccess also returns false, but AXIsProcessTrusted returns true. I tried making a non-background-only test app, and when that has Accessibility permission, CanFilterEvents, CGPreflightPostEventAccess, and AXIsProcessTrusted all return true. Suggestions on what to try next?

We are developing a lightweight VPN client inside a daemon process that will run even when no user session is active on machine. The lightweight VPN runs in machine context and does not require user session. We would like to display some basic diagnosis information about our lightweight client on macOS login window before user is logged into their machine (in case users need that). So, is it possible to display a UI window on login screen with some basic info that user can interact with. If yes, where can I get started? Please note, this is not an authorization plugin. We are just wanting to display info about our process that runs a lightweight VPN client on macOS login screen.

Hi Team, We are using the transparent app proxy in macOS and resolving DNS queries using DNSServiceQueryRecord in the TAP process. According to the documentation, when passing the interfaceIndex as 0, it should be queried on all interfaces, and based on IP rules, it assigns the query to that particular interface. However, when we pass 0, it does not query any of the interfaces. We need to provide the specific interface index.

i'm working on an app which shares a swiftdata database between the main app and its widgets. prior to the sequoia/xcode 16 betas this was working fine with setting the same app group for app & widget targets. however, now whenever i try to run my main app from Xcode i get a user permission requestor saying " would like to access data from other apps.". this happens every time i run it. whenever the widget is started (via trying to place it on the desktop, or the widgetkit simulator etc) it exits immediately (i assume because it can't show the permission requestor?) if i disable the app group for the widget, it runs.. however, of course, i can't access the main app's database. i'm on sequoia beta 2 (24A5279h) and Xcode 16 beta 2 (16A5171r) note: while the widgetkit simulator is now present in sequoia beta 2, i haven't actually been able to successfully use it

Having a traditional 'NavigationSplitView' setup, I am looking for a way to animate it the same as the sidebarView, where there is a button to toggle and it animates by sliding out from the right side of the view, however the closest I have gotten was manipulating the 'navigationSplitViewColumnWidth' but that always results in the view instantly appearing / disappearing. I am using SwiftUI for a MacOS specific app. Here is just a general idea of what I am currently doing, it is by no means a reflection of my real code but serves the purpose of this example. struct ContentView: View { @State private var columnWidth: CGFloat = 300 var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List { NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: "Item 1")) { Text("Item 1") } NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: "Item 2")) { Text("Item 2") } NavigationLink(destination: DetailView(item: "Item 3")) { Text("Item 3") } } .navigationTitle("Items") } detail: { VStack { DetailView(item: "Select an item") Button(action: toggleColumnWidth) { Text(columnWidth == 300 ? "Collapse" : "Expand") } .padding() } } .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth(columnWidth) } private func toggleColumnWidth() { withAnimation { columnWidth = columnWidth == 300 ? 0 : 300 } } } struct DetailView: View { var item: String var body: some View { Text("Detail view for \(item)") .navigationTitle(item) .padding() } } @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } }

I'm giving a go to the new TabSection with iOS 18 but I'm facing an issue with sections actions. I have the following section inside a TabView: TabSection { ForEach(accounts) { account in Tab(account.name , systemImage: account.icon, value: SelectedTab.accounts(account: account)) { Text(account.name) } } } header: { Text("Accounts") } .sectionActions { AccountsTabSectionAddAccount() } I'm showing a Tab for each account and an action to create new accounts. The issue I'm facing is that when there are no accounts the entire section doesn't appear in the side bar including the action to create new accounts. To make matters worse the action doesn't show at all in macOS even when there are already accounts and the section is present in side bar. Is there some way to make the section actions always visible?

I'm trying to do a piecemeal conversion of a big macOS Objective-C++ code base to use Automatic Reference Counting (ARC), and started with a fairly complex modal dialog. I converted all the classes involved to use ARC. When the dialog closes, the window itself, and some of the controller objects, get deallocated as they should, but some do not. When I look at the memory debugging graph in Xcode, I see a bunch of things of the form NSKVONotifying_MyClassName. Here's an example: It does not look as though any of my objects have strong references to GRMorphController, so what am I to make of this?

On any update, regardless if it’s Mojave or high sierra or catalina many Apple iMac owners were having issues with this- “iMac is stuck on Checking null, it won’t go any further. How do I fix this?”. I spoke to 4 representatives and no Apple representative could help with my issue. So here is a 100% solution. back up your iMac if you don’t want to lose anything. hold the power button until your iMac turns off ouch the power button and let go immediately and push and hold “COMMAND” and “R” until your utilities pop up. Erase and reinstall a new versio of your current macOS update. Let this finish and DO NOT sign into your Apple ID now. Accept the terms and cond and follow all the steps. Once you are in the computer you can sign in. now you may update your iMac to whichever update.

Just updated to macOS Sequoia Beta 2, and all the sudden my speakers start making a pop sound when I watch YouTube or just when browsing. Any tips?👀
