one cause is having logged-in using a Yubikey PIN. Search works fine when booted without the key inserted and std login is used.

I have a small .mov I created using screenshot and I want to use it as a preview. I have managed to resize it to the required 1920x1080, added a sound track using ffmpeg (home-brew), drop it into an iMovie App preview project, share it as a file, drag that file to App Store Connect/Apps/myApp/"App previews and Screenshots" only to have it rejected for "frame rate too high", 30 fps required. There appears to be no way to specify frame rate in "Screenshot" nor iMovie during "share". Aside from using a third party app "Handbrake" to edit the file, what can be done? Maybe more importantly, why is 30 fps required when it isn't a standard output of screenshot nor iMovie/AppPreviewProject ? btw: iMovie/AppPreview/Help shows submittal of non-1920x1080 files to AppStoreConnect

running my Xcode app in Simulator: screenshots are sent to Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices followed by the cryptic code for the device ( given in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/device_set.plist ), a subdirectory then the PNG file. This is very inconvenient. How to I set the desired directory?

by selecting Help under my Help menu item or cmd-h no window appears until the menu bar is touched. myApp.swift file: import SwiftUI import QuickLook @main struct myApp: App { @Environment(\.openWindow) var openWindow @State var helpURL: URL? = nil var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .commandsReplaced { CommandGroup(before: .appInfo) { Button("Quit") { NSApp.terminate(nil) }.keyboardShortcut("q") } CommandGroup(before: .help) { //FIXME: only shows help if the menu bar is touched again. Button("Help") { helpURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "help", withExtension: "txt") } .keyboardShortcut("h") .quickLookPreview($helpURL) } } } } How should this be coded for proper action? Thanks

I didn't find a suggestion box on Swift's website so I'll post it here. SwiftCharts are great but limited. I need more data on a single chart. Candlestick and OHLC type charts would be an excellent addition. Hopefully, influencers from Apple can make that happen. Thanks.

I have "http://localhost:8080" showing the index page I've created but php is not handled though an extension is running. Haven't even tried mySQL yet but since there is no reference to it in https.conf the same problem will exist. Homebrew extension running also. https.conf: #PHP was deprecated in macOS 11 and removed from macOS 12 #LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so There are no php.so files on my machine and again no mention of mysql What should I enter in http.conf to activate these functionalities? Thanks. PS could you reference a tutorial on using Safari and Web inspector

I have used SceneKit for several years but recently have a problem where a scene with fewer than 50 nodes is partially drawn, i.e., some nodes are, some aren't, and greater than 50 nodes are always draw correctly. This seems to have happened since concurrency was introduced. (w.r.t. concurrency, I had been using DispatchQueue successfully before then.) Since all nodes (few or many) are constructed and implemented by the same functions etc. I'm baffled. When I print the node hierarchy all nodes are present whether few or many. SceneView() has [.rendersContinually] option selected. Every node created (few or many) has .opacity = 1.0, .isHidden = false I haven't tried setting-back the compiler version as that is not a long term solution, and I know the same code worked fine then.

I accidentally added my ContentView for my project into my local Developer Documentation and I cannot get rid of it. The Edit/delete menu item is dim when my file is selected.

there are other unresolved posts on this issue but maybe mine is solvable. I copied the files I contributed from a working project to a new project using the finder (drag and drop). So I did not copy entitlements. Xcode automatically added the files to the project just fine. My app uses data on a removable drive, or used to, because I now get the error above. At one point I copied the product app to the desktop hoping to get the permissions alert window, but it never came. Oddly, in System Settings/Privacy & Security/Files & Folders my "new" app is listed with "Removable Volumes" slider = on. The file permissions (unix-like) on that drive haven't changed between projects and allow everyone to read. How can I fix this?

Up to now I have created multiple new SCNNodes using an instance of SCNGeometry and it was OK that they all had the same appearance. Now I want variety and when I make a copy of that instance using: let newGeo = myGeoInstance.copy() as! SCNGeometry (must be force cast because copy() -> any?) all elements are verified present. :-) Likewise: node.geometry?.replaceMaterial(at: index, with: myNewMaterial) is verified to correctly change the material(s) at the correct index(s). The only problem is the modified "teapot" is not visible, and yes I have set node.isHidden = false. Has anyone experienced this? In the old days reversing the verts was a solution. In desperation I tried that. |-(

SceneKit SCNScene MacOS 15.1 Xcode 16.0 SceneView(scene: , options:[autoenablesDefaultLighting, allowsCameraContol] there is: .rootNode.cameraNode .rootNode.camera .rootNode.nestedChildNodes each with its own animation when the object is animated and dragged by mouse to change the view point, I can't return the view to the previous view. I have reinstated a clone of the original cameraNode, positions of all childNodes, removed and re-activated all animations... in vain. I have also cloned, removed and replaced .rootNode.camera, in vain. The documentation states the camera is "attached" to an SCNNode but does not say how. I make no declaration to associate .rootNode.cameraNode to .rootNode.camera yet if either is absent there is no scene to view. What am I missing? Thanks

Attached is an entire project (4 files) that mirrors my actual project including the failure to save to file. Am I: missing some syntax in this code? failing to config a defaults file? not set the necessary parameters in " "Build Settings" or "Build Rules etc.? I was writing to JSON files, but now that I must append to files directly, and JSON doesn't do that easily, I am trying to write using native macOS tools. WELL, IT SEEMS I CAN'T SEND YOU THE CODE, TOO MANY CHARS. I CAN'T ATTACH ANY FILE EITHER. WHY OFFER IT IF IT IS NOT ALLOWED? ANYWAY, CAN YOU GLEAN ANYTHING FROM THIS... Thanks.

given [URL.lastPathComponent] how do I sort as Finder sorts in macOS? Example: urlPaths = contentsOfDirectory(at: ... e.g., ["1H", "10Ne", "11Na"] urlPaths.sort(by: { $0 < $1 } //Apple Swift version 5.9 print(urlPaths) // 10Ne 11Na 1H whereas Finder filename sort gives // 1H 10Ne 11 Na and is beautiful. I have always taken this sort for granted and am now buggered to duplicate it.

My app generates many files as large as 12 GB (limited by memory) and I use Picker() to select which to reload with FileManager(). The larger files can take three minutes to load (M2 Mini Pro) and it would be nice to have progress indication like Apple's App Store downloads with the mini spinner, file size and bytes loaded. From what I've read in "Developer Documentation", I must use a URLdelegate instance I have created, not the shared delegate, when effecting a URL download. "Downloading files in the Background" shows iOS code, not macOS, and it also uses a "shared" delegate. A post, here, dated years ago said what I seek is not possible and I have not found recent sample code to show otherwise. Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks

Prior to Sonoma 14.0 and Xcode 15.0.1 my custom class was encoded in a consistent pattern that I exploited to append the file many thousands of times. Now, the encodings are of a seemingly random pattern that cannot be exploited to append. This may be a result of efforts to make the encoding more efficient or virtually any other reason. My questions are: how do I revert to the previous JSONEncoder while using current OS & Xcode versions?, i.e, what files and in what locations do I restore? is it likely to be sustainable if I did so? It has been previously noted that atomic files are not "append able" which is why I used JSON in the first place. Any info or suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.
