Hello Folks; I'm trying to utilize a crash log from App Review. I've uploaded the app with DWARF with dSYM File. When I open the App Review .crash file in Xcode I see this: #0 in __pthread_kill () #1 in pthread_kill () #2 in abort () #3 in abort_message () #4 in demangling_terminate_handler() () #5 in _objc_terminate() () #6 in std::__terminate(void (*)()) () #7 in std::terminate() () #8 in _dispatch_client_callout () #9 in _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF () #10 in __CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE__ () #11 in __CFRunLoopRun () #12 in CFRunLoopRunSpecific () #13 in RunCurrentEventLoopInMode () #14 in ReceiveNextEventCommon () #15 in _BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInModeWithFilter () #16 in _DPSNextEvent () #17 in -[NSApplication(NSEvent) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] () #18 in -[NSApplication run] () #19 in NSApplicationMain () #20 in 0x10a062000 () #21 in 0x10a062000 () #22 in start () Whereas in Console it looks like this: 0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff2053783b __exceptionPreprocess + 242 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007fff2026fd92 objc_exception_throw + 48 2 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff205609a2 +[NSException raise:format:arguments:] + 88 3 Foundation 0x00007fff2131e4d2 -[NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 191 4 AppKit 0x00007fff22d02679 -[NSCell _objectValue:forString:errorDescription:] + 260 5 AppKit 0x00007fff22d024d3 -[NSCell setStringValue:] + 44 6 AppKit 0x00007fff22d7af3e -[NSControl setStringValue:] + 121 7 AppXYZ 0x000000010a069107 AppXYZ + 28935 8 AppXYZ 0x000000010a07eed1 AppXYZ + 118481 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x00007fff20219623 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 12 10 libdispatch.dylib 0x00007fff2021a806 _dispatch_client_callout + 8 11 libdispatch.dylib 0x00007fff20226b4f _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF + 940 12 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff204fa5a8 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE__ + 9 13 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff204bc7a2 __CFRunLoopRun + 2755 14 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff204bb61c CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 563 15 HIToolbox 0x00007fff28701a83 RunCurrentEventLoopInMode + 292 16 HIToolbox 0x00007fff287017e5 ReceiveNextEventCommon + 587 17 HIToolbox 0x00007fff28701583 _BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInModeWithFilter + 70 18 AppKit 0x00007fff22cc3172 _DPSNextEvent + 864 19 AppKit 0x00007fff22cc1945 -[NSApplication(NSEvent) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 1364 20 AppKit 0x00007fff22cb3c69 -[NSApplication run] + 586 21 AppKit 0x00007fff22c87e6c NSApplicationMain + 816 22 AppXYZ 0x000000010a155a62 AppXYZ + 997986 23 AppXYZ 0x000000010a155afb AppXYZ + 998139 24 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff203dff3d start + 1 25 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1 So what am trying to understand is how to utilize lines 7 & 8 in the Console. Reading through the Docs (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/adding-identifiable-symbol-names-to-a-crash-report#Symbolicate-the-Crash-Report-in-Xcode) it seems like I should use 'atos' but its not working out.... For starters there is no 'Binary Architecture' information in the 'Binary Images' section of the .crash file. Can someone point out what I need to do here or clarify my misunderstanding? Thank for any help! Steve

Using Xcode 12.5.1 I have 2 properties on an object @property NSMutableArray *mutA1; @property NSMutableArray *mutA2; During initialization I do this: self.mutA1 = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:10]; self.mutA2 = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:10]; The first assignment works fine but I get an error on the second assignment! Exception NSException * "[<__NSArrayM 0x6000037f1ec0> addObserver:forKeyPath:options:context:] is not supported. Key path: count" 0x00006000037d74e0 What can explain this? I am just stumped!! Thank you for any help! Steve

macOS 11.2.1 File was created by Migration Assistant directly in Trash ~/.Trash/delete/Delete/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/DataVaults Empty Trash throws multiple ‘in use’ errors beginning at ‘Data’ and moving up nested folders Running First Aid in Recovery Mode does not change anything. This is what Apple Support documents recommend. Yes, I have renamed upper 2 folders… I have successfully assigned ‘Read/Write’ to my user account (which is an admin account) to all folders Finder says ‘You have unknown access’ to ‘DataVaults’ Cannot move any folder out of Trash Cannot 'chown' any item in the hierarchy Use of ’sudo’ does not alter results How do I get rid of this? Steve

Folks; I've had an app in the Mac App Store for some time. I used a test account setup in App Store Connect to test this. Let's call this testAccount1. Everything worked as expected. For various reasons I have eliminated that account in App Store Connect. Now I need to perform more sandbox testing against this app. I have setup a new account in App Store Connect. Let's call this testAccount2. BTW: macOS 11.2 Beta (20D5042d) on Transition Kit (A12Z Bionic) with Xcode 12.3 Used Xcode to perform a 'clean' Used Finder to remove the ~/Library/Containter/'appName' folder. When I launch the app in Xcode and reach the appropriate point I perform 'exit(173)' This results in a prompt to sign into the App Store which I do by providing TestAccount2. So far so good. Now when I attempt to purchase an In-App Purchase I am again prompted to Sign in to the App Store. This window contains a text field to enter an AppleID. This field is pre-populated with TestAccount1!!! scenario 1: over-ride the pre--populated AppleID with TestAccout2. in this case I am then prompted to enter the password. after entering the password I receive a prompt to 'Sign in to App Store' this window does not contain a text field to enter an AppleID (only 'Cancel' or 'Buy') On the 4th click it errors out .... " Code=306 "Reached max retry count" scenario 2: accept the pre-poulated AppleID NOTE:this AppleID is not valid - I have deleted this from App Store Connect after entering the password the normal in-app prompts appear after confirming the purchase I receive : "You are not authorized to make purchases of this InApp in Sandbox at this time." Bottom Line: I cannot test with a new Sandbox account I cannot test with an invalid Sandbox account Can someone please clarify how I am supposed to test in Mac App Store Sandbox? Please! Steve
