Comment on Why is app_version sometimes empty in .ips crash reports from macOS Monterey? (is_first_party)
By "binary image" you probably mean "usedImages". Yes, those are always there. But those do not list my executable. The only other uuid I found is the "slice_uuid". I suspect that that's the executable's ID then. In fact, using "dwarfdump -u" on the file lists two IDs, one for each arch, and one of them matches the "slice_uuid". So I can use that to match my versions now. Thanks.

Comment on Constant trouble with approval of non-sandboxed "grandfathered" app for Mac App Store
I appreciate you making an effort to look into this but I rather wanted a general answer and not a single help with the immediate problem because it keeps repeating and there's no sense in me posting the same question here every time, I hope you understand that. Would you please explain why you need to know the app to help with this general question? Can you add a note for all future reviewers that'll avoid the issue in the future, for instance?

Comment on Apple macOS command line, find -iregex. Where to read about the iregex syntax: how to make a command?
I just ran into this problem: I was trying to find the old "Icon?" files, where the "?" is actually a CR, but this reveals nothing: find -E . -regex '.*/Icon\n' whereas this finds it: find -E . -regex '.*/Icon.' Even this doesn't work: find -E . -regex '.*/\x49con.' which suggest that the hex notation doesn't work at all, despite the man pages for find and re_format suggesting that they should.

Comment on How to launch background application (app bundle) and keep alive it on macOS?
I need to accomplish the same (FBA launched and kept running when my main app quits) but from a sandboxed app for the MAS. But I do NOT want to necessarily have it become a login item. When I try to use the NSWorkspace launch methods, they fail in a sandboxed app. Is setting up an XPC process the only way if I don't want to run the helper as a login item? I've done some googling about this topic but all I find are hints about SMLoginItemSetEnabled.

Comment on Breaking changes to Full Disk Access in 11.4 Beta 3 ?
It might help if you add the reports also to the public radar tracker: http://www.openradar.me/

Thanks, Quinn. Can you explain what is_first_party means? Just curious.

Fun fact: Peter N Lewis also collects ips files and confirms my findings.

Comment on Intermittent crash in [NSPathControl mouseDown:] around `setHighlighted:`
In hindsight, setting the target property has not helped to prevent this crash, BTW.

Comment on Getting metadata (identity) about an SMB volume's server
Thanks, Quinn. You don't know any other means to get information about the server, then? I wonder if the Spotlight SMB API may pass more information from server to client, for instance. Maybe that info is accessible somehow.

I guess I'm gonna start porting a few samba tools to macOS :)

The app is Find Any File. Not sure I want to post the ID here publically. Is there another way?

I like the "xxx" reply and this comment deleted. There should be a button for this, ideally.

Comment on Bug: If you have ever made a build with a higher version number, you won't get any crash nor feedback reports from users for lower versions!
The version 2 was never released but only uploaded to TestFlight (I'll edit my msg to make this clear), so your argument is not valid.

Was this on macOS or iOS? I had just done a test with an iOS app and there I could not reproduce the issue, but only with my macOS app.
