Hi, This can't be right. Is there really no replacement for Quartz Debug?!? As the sole developer on a project who has an Intel Mac and Quartz Debug, I am basically a god now. Everyone else has Apple Silicon and... I think they're randomly guessing at this point. Because I have entire teams sending me Intel Mac builds of stuff just so I can test it in QD. This is THE TOOL we used at NewTek to find performance issues, and THE TOOL I used for a dozen companies after that, to help them with similar issues. If there's no replacement, is there a reason there's no replacement? This feels like a massive step backwards, having to guess at problems like this. -Chilton

Hi, After spending two months trying to launch this app I decided to start from scratch, and regenerate everything from code signing requests, certs, apps, appIDs, App Store entries, EVERYTHING, and at the end of all of it, I get exactly the same problem I've had for months: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.chiltonwebb.secretprojectname [com.chiltonwebb.secretprojectname.pkg/Payload/secretprojectname.app] is invalid. [Invalid 'com.apple.application-identifier' entitlement value.] For more information, visit the macOS Developer Portal. (ID: 723cede2-3c9f-4069-b4fa-581ebd3468b9)" I'm tired of guessing. I've tried everything I can find in these forums. What is the official way to diagnose this problem? -Chilton

Hi, I have a developer tool that often needs access to files outside of the file the user has selected. For example, they can easily select a file that contains a reference to an include file NOT in the current folder or a descendent. But I still need access to that file. How do I handle this, on the latest version of MacOS? Right now it just fails to give me access to the file, making it look like our Mac version is WAY BEHIND the Windows version. Oh and this needs to be in the App Store eventually, but right now I need it to be available outside of it, so I have to use my Developer ID and notarized. I think I've got all of that nailed down, but I'm still having file permission issues. My entitlements currently (which doesn't work): com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation com.apple.security.cs.disable-executable-page-protection com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write Thank you, -Chilton

I have an app that needs to read a file the user selects from an Open dialog. Right now it works fine on my machine (of course), but doesn't let my app access the file on other systems. I code signed it using my Apple Developer ID. I have notarized it. I have checked it all with the notaryTool and it shows NO ERRORS and as far as I can tell, no warnings either. Here's the entitlements: com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation com.apple.security.cs.disable-executable-page-protection com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write What could I be doing wrong? Thank you, -Chilton
