In the "mouseDown" (or MouseDreagged) code below Enclosure is a NSView subclass. xcode report 2 warnings: pb_item setDataProvider:self forTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSPasteboardTypeTIFF, NSPasteboardTypePDF, @"LN_PboardType", nil]]; Sending 'Enclosure *' to parameter of incompatible type 'id _Nonnull' NSDraggingSession *draggingSession = [self beginDraggingSessionWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:drag_item] event:drag_event source:self]; Sending 'Enclosure *' to parameter of incompatible type 'id _Nonnull' The application fail at: drag_item = [[NSDraggingItem alloc] initWithPasteboardWriter:pb_item]; Pasteboard item data provider <Enclosure: 0x7f849ec74e70> must conform to NSPasteboardItemDataProviderProtocol [General] There are 0 items on the pasteboard, but 1 drag images. There must be 1 draggingItem per pasteboardItem. However if in the line of code above "pb_item" is replaced by "drag_image" drag work fine (but without drop). The z_drag image follow the mouse correctly and "endedAtPoint" is called when the mouse button is released. Where is the error ? Any suggestion will be appreciate...

What is the Objective C equivalent of the command line diskutil unmount force ?

DADiskCopyDescription() give basic information for disk and partition but not how these info elements are linked together. By example how to get the volume parent container ? How to decode de CFSTR given by DADiskCopyDescription() ? When does DAMediaContent hold "GUID_partition_scheme" or "FDisk_partition_scheme" ? For volume DAMediaContent is something like "C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B" (with volume name in DAMediaName). But DAMediaContent with such numeric value is not always volume (DAMediaName and DAVolumeKind are then empty). And sometime DAMediaContent is empty. Where can I found documentation about DADiskCopyDescription() and the way to get APFS volume\container childs and parent

Not the graphic interface. Only an overview of the way to build the hierarchy (disk, container, partition) and functions call

When porting an old Mac project to Silicon (universal) I got an issue with IB to open MainMenu.xib: Trust opening older file format? “MainMenu.xib” uses an older format that is potentially insecure when decoded. If you trust the content of this file, open and save it to upgrade to the modern format. The "open and Upgrade" button make the MainMenu.xib not editable: it seem that every submenus has disappeared. How can I fix it ? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciate.

Since dragImage: is deprecated I am trying to update drag and drop with beginDraggingSessionWithItems:. Drag work fine but I cannot get drop to work correctly. In the code below change #ifndef to #ifdef (using dragImage:) make drop work as expected. draggingEntered, draggingUpdated, draggingExited, draggingEnded are all called but NOT performDragOperation (which do the drop). Uncommenting the line [pb_item pasteboard:paste_board provideDataForType:@"LN_PboardType"]; cause an exceptionPreprocess: -[NSPasteboardItem pasteboard:provideDataForType:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600001e64240. I also try add NSDraggingDestination, NSItemProviderWriting, NSPasteboardTypeOwner to @interface line without success. What I am doing wrong ? Any other method to do Drag and Drop (other than dragImage: and beginDraggingSessionWithItems:) ? Where can I found an Obj-C project using beginDraggingSessionWithItems: for drag an drop ? ``@interface Enclosure : NSView <NSDraggingSource, NSPasteboardItemDataProvider> - (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (self) { [super setAutoresizesSubviews:YES]; [self registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil]]; } return self; } - (BOOL)acceptsFirstMouse:(NSEvent *)event { return YES; } - (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)drag_event { NSImage *drag_image; NSPoint drag_position; NSRect dragging_rect; NSPasteboard *paste_board; NSDraggingItem *drag_item; NSArray *items_array; NSPasteboardItem *pb_item; paste_board = [NSPasteboard pasteboardWithName:@"LN_PboardType"]; [paste_board declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil] owner:self]; pb_item = [[NSPasteboardItem alloc] init]; [pb_item setDataProvider:self forTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"LN_PboardType", NSPasteboardTypeString, nil]]; // [pb_item pasteboard:paste_board provideDataForType:@"LN_PboardType"]; drag_image = [ [NSImage imageNamed:@"drag.jpg"]; drag_position = [self convertPoint:[drag_event locationInWindow] fromView:nil]; drag_position.x -= drag_image.size.width/2; drag_position.y -= drag_image.size.height/2; #ifndef DEPRECATED [self dragImage:drag_image at:drag_position offset:NSZeroSize event:drag_event pasteboard:paste_board source:self slideBack:YES]; #else drag_item = [[NSDraggingItem alloc] initWithPasteboardWriter:pb_item]; dragging_rect = NSMakeRect(drag_position.x, drag_position.y, drag_image.size.width, drag_image.size.height); [drag_item setDraggingFrame:dragging_rect contents:drag_image]; items_array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:drag_item]; [self beginDraggingSessionWithItems:items_array event:drag_event source:(id)self]; #endif } - (NSDragOperation)draggingSession:(NSDraggingSession *)session sourceOperationMaskForDraggingContext:(NSDraggingContext)context { if (disable_drag_and_drop) return NSDragOperationNone; switch (context) { case NSDraggingContextWithinApplication: return NSDragOperationCopy; case NSDraggingContextOutsideApplication: return NSDragOperationMove; } return NSDragOperationNone; } …``

When I have created my developer account I do it on a MacPro 2019. Now I develop to a new silicon Mac. To submit the (Mac) application App store Connect give a six-digit verification code. This code must be enter to popup window that appear on Desktop. But the popup window appear on MacPro 2019 instead of silicon Mac. How can I receive popup window in the silicon Mac Desktop, not in MacPro 2019 ? iCloud staff tell that it imposible to change the computer destination that receive popup window... Is it true ? Yes, I can use phone to enter the six-digit verification code but it is very more easy to enter the code in the popup window.

In my developper account, "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" show two "Developer ID Installer" certificates (Expiration Date 2027/05/13 and 2027/02/01) I did not found any way to delete, remove or revoke one. How can I fix it ? Xcode complaint "Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code" Previouly I put right this error with the command: xattr -cr path_to_application but this no longer work.
