Reply to Mac Catalyst App No longer start : Cause bugs in App Store and weird macOS behaviour
I deleted all the files that contains the name of my app from the terminal using the find command. Sometimes it does start and crash and I can get a crash dump. Other times it does nothing. But I will check from the terminal to see if I can get more infos. It will take a while to test again since I don't have access to the user computer. macOS should have a way to uninstall an app for real, not leave hidden things all over the place. Apple decided to force us to use their store, then it is their responsibility to install them properly and clean them properly. macCatalyst app are sandboxed, I cannot to that myself. Thanks for the help.

Reply to ServiceWorker Support in iOS WKWebView
This js code will say (in inspector console) Service worker are supported on Safari macOS & iOS, but will say not supported on WKWebview on macOS (Mac Catalyst) and iOS. if ("serviceWorker" in navigator) { console.log("Service Worker is supported") } else { console.log("Service Worker is not supported") } That means that our Apple app version will run stuff much slower than on Android and Windows. Solutions with app boundaries and a few setting in WKWebview do not work.

Reply to Xcode 16 Do not display comments correctly
Apple decided that an IDE should decide randomly what is displayed in mono-space font and what is not in the text editor part??? One day it may happen to you and make your code unreadable, you won't be able to work. I can no longer use Xcode to work on my code. This is a very serious problem that has never happened in all the coding editor ever made. Xcode is now useless for programming.

Reply to WKWebView auto reloading upon app resume
We have the same problem reported by many of our customers. Our app is Mac Catalyst. They are filling a form, go somewhere to copy some infos and when they return, the WKWebView refresh by itself thus they loose everything. It happens on M1, M2 and M3 Mac Catalyst WKWebView reload by itself when returning from another app. I hope that Apple fix their bug before they move to Risc-V in 5 years.

Reply to Localization in Mac Catalyst does not work in macOS 12 menu
The problem for me is the opposite. macOS Ventura 13.2.1 has English menu while my Mac is in French. I am talking about the useless top menu that Apple put there automatically. So for me, Mac Catalyst does not translate the top default menu items like : File, Edit, Window... I also noticed that other of the app on my Mac also have the wrong language (English) : MS Team, Xcode, Emacs, Sublime...

Reply to Mac Catalyst WKWebView keyDown never trigger (no more keyboard events)
I found another problem that is caused by the lack on onKeyDown working on Mac Intel. Tab key is not working, so you can't jump to next input box by pressing Tab key. You can test with this page. Put the cursor in the first input box and press tab. It works everywhere on the planet, but it won't work on a WKWebview on a MacOS Ventura running on Intel. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp

Reply to "UI unresponsiveness" warning on @main
Same problem came out of nowhere, the app still work great. After I updated macOS to Ventura 13.0 and Xcode I get this warning. "This method should not be called on the main thread as it may lead to UI unresponsiveness." Weird that Xcode does not propose a solution. I suspect it is just an Xcode bug.
