Handoff with iCloud document-based app doesn't work
When tapping the Handoff icon of my app on the Mac or on the iPad, Xcode logs this error: [default personal] [ERROR] +[NSURL(BRAdditions) br_documentURLFromBookmarkableString:error:]: (passed to caller) error: Error Domain=BRCloudDocsErrorDomain Code=8 "Not Entitled" UserInfo={NSDescription=Not Entitled} When setting a breakpoint at NSApplicationDelegate.application(_:continue:restorationHandler:), I can see that userInfo.activityType is the one specified with the key NSUbiquitousDocumentUserActivityType under the Info.plist Document Types, but userActivity.userInfo is empty, so the document url is apparently not sent. Is there something else I have to set up?

I cannot delete old macOS installers, not even from the Terminal
I recently downloaded "Install macOS Catalina", "Install macOS High Sierra" and "Install macOS Mojave" and then wanted to delete them again, so I moved them to the trash, but trying to empty the trash gives the error that they are apparently being used. Even after a system restart it still happens. Trying to delete them from the Terminal via sudo rm -rf gives the error "the directory is not empty". How can I get rid of these files?

Import Image from SwiftUI even if project already declares an internal Image type
I have this code in my project #if os(macOS) import Cocoa typealias Image = NSImage #elseif os(iOS) import UIKit typealias Image = UIImage #endif Because of this, in a file with import SwiftUI I would have to use SwiftUI.Image to disambiguate. Is it possible to declare that whenever I use Image in that file, it should not use my internal declaration but the SwiftUI type instead?

Xcode projects do not build anymore after uploading them to Feedback Assistant
For many months now, projects that I download from most of the feedbacks I submit don't build anymore: some settings in the Xcode project get changed for some reason at some stage so that the directory structure is wrong. The top level folder named after the project is highlighted in red and the only compiler error is about the missing entitlements file, even though all the files are in the project folder. I already reported this months ago but this is still happening. What's the problem and why is there no solution to this yet?

Why does Apple not mark solved bugs as solved?
I keep noticing that some bugs that I reported or features that I suggested have been corrected or added to the latest OS. For one of these I replied asking why I wasn't notified and never got an answer. Isn't Apple interested in closing as many feedbacks as possible? Now I cannot even say that perhaps I formulated them in such a way that they don't understand, because they don't seem to reply altogether.

Xcode thinks iPad is not connected when deploying
Every now and then (say at least once a week, but possibly many times within a day) when I try to deploy to my iPad Xcode shows a sheet reading "iPad is not connected", even if it was working a minute earlier. I have reported this already several months ago, but apparently there is no fix for this yet. Usually, restarting Mac and/or iPad solves the issue, but it's really annoying when I have to do this repeatedly. Is there an easier workaround?

Setting UITextView text color after text change causes caret rect to jump up and down
It seems that when typing inside a textview that has insets and padding, the caret keeps jumping up and down on most keystrokes. Is there a solution to this? class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {     @IBOutlet weak var textView: TextView!     override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {         let h = textView.bounds.size.height / 2         textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: h, left: 0, bottom: h, right: 0)         textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 200     }     func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {         textView.textStorage.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: UIColor.red, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 1))     } } class TextView: UITextView {     override func caretRect(for position: UITextPosition) -> CGRect {         let r = super.caretRect(for: position)         print(r)         return r     } } A complete project can be found here: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0yEBQZPUCZQH1o3HiL8_6q_gQ#problem_copia

How to download and install old macOS versions
I haven‘t yet found an official Apple website that lists older macOS versions. Fortunately, I have kept the installers on a separate external storage after each major upgrade, but when launching them from a macOS version newer that the installer itself, macOS shows an error that it‘s not possible to install it. What is the official way of installing older macOS versions so that I can test my App Store apps?

"Frame for "View" will be different at runtime" keeps reappearing with always different frame
For a couple of years now Xcode has been showing many similar warnings when opening a storyboard file. I have opened FB8245368 more than a year ago without response. If there is a way of solving these warnings inside the storyboard without adding artificial constraints that are removed at build time? Open the project at https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0bNxa2_8jNRVFbpKsTyrB5yMg#problem Select that warning, then click Update Frames at the bottom right of the canvas. You can keep pressing the button until the view is entirely collapsed.

Resolve bookmark created in iOS app in Share Extension
I create a URL bookmark with URL.bookmarkData(options: [], includingResourceValuesForKeys: [.localizedNameKey]) and resolve it with NSURL(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmarkData, options: [], relativeTo: nil, bookmarkDataIsStale: nil) asURL. This works fine within my main app, but when sharing the bookmarkData via an App Group with my Share Extension, it gives the error "The file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it.". Is there any way I can do this?

How to disable weekly "We are interested in investigating your feedback" reminders
Since a year or so I get frequent email reminders for feedbacks to which Apple answered and to which I still didn't reply. The interval between Apple's answer and the automatic reminder can be as small as 5 days and are repeated weekly until I respond to them. There is apparently no way of disabling them. How can it be that I have to respond within 5 days and Apple can take up to 8 years (the longest I've waited for a response for now)? I've already reported this several times but to no avail. I would also like to be able to send weekly reminders to Apple for not responding to pressing issues, but unfortunately that's not possible and this comes across as being quite arrogant.

SceneKit objects become sharp when viewed through non-opaque objects with depth of field enabled
By adding this code to the default SceneKit Xcode project, one can reproduce the issue (the default ship object is blurred when viewed directly by the camera, and sharp when viewed through the semi-transparent square): cameraNode.camera!.wantsDepthOfField = true cameraNode.camera!.focusDistance = 2 cameraNode.camera!.fStop = 0.5 let plane = SCNNode(geometry: SCNPlane(width: 1, height: 1)) plane.position = SCNVector3(x: 0.5, y: 0, z: 13) plane.opacity = 0.5 scene.rootNode.addChildNode(plane) Is this something expected, and is there a workaround for making objects seen through semi-transparent objects appear blurred as well?
