I can't get my mac to stop automatically capitalizing. So, I am constantly back-spacing when in Xcode and terminal. I turned off auto caps in system prefs, but that didnt help. Are there plists I can throw away? Terminal code to reset? I don't know where to put this… It is so annoying! Thanks, -Ashley

Hi, After updating to Sequoia and the newest Xcode, I ran some Mac apps from Xcode. No code was changed, but suddenly, I'm getting: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases NSBundle file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/ principal class is nil because all fallbacks have failed One problem (I think) is that - Mac/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/MetalTools is an alias with no original that can be found. However, the MetalTools does exist in, for example, /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.1.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks (and Mac ones). The app is very simple/ Any suggestions? I have an Intel Mac. Thank you! -Ashley

The App Store Connect Help has information about sharing a public link. What a great idea. However, it doesn't seem to exist. Is that true? Sounds like a great idea! I was so excited to be able to post a link to a FB page and not have to enter individual emails for each person. They better not take away the import function. Also, the download button in the app's version is greyed out. So, why is it there? There is an export button on the page with versions listed. So, why must I manually check to add users to a new version release? Or do I not have to? Thanks, -Ashley

This wasn't happening until I updated Xcode to 16.2 (I'm using Sequoia 15.2). When I run any Mac app, I get these errors: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases I even got these errors running "Hello, world" which tells me that either I need to reinstall or there is a bug. Thanks for any help, -Ashley

Hi, After updating to Xcode 16.2, I am getting an error running all iOS apps. I'm using Sequioa 15.2. Error creating the CFMessagePort needed to communicate with PPT. I ran the default Hello World app and got the same error message (plus another error not showing up on my apps - Failed to send CA Event for app launch measurements for ca_event_type: 1 event_name: com.apple.app_launch_measurement.ExtendedLaunchMetrics). Can I ignore the error or is it truly affecting my app (all are testflight versions and it's fine if I don't update them for awhile, although not ideal). Hopefully someone can help! Thanks, -Ashley

Like I said in the title, it looks like MetalTools.framework is missing or corrupted. I think I saw that the symbolic link was broken. They look like aliases in the finder, but I can't find the original. This was a problem with Ventura (using the last compatible Xcode version) and Sequoia 15.2 (Xcode 16.2). I didn't use Xcode before that. Note that none of my apps need Metal API (I don't think). I only noticed it when Xcode gave an error regarding Metal. Sorry this is so long; I hope the Terminal info will help. I don't want to reinstall Sequoia and this has been a problem since at least Ventura.
