If I set a breakpoint in drag and drop within ...AcceptDrop... [in a NSOutlineView], both the app and Xcode hang. The only way I know to handle this is to force the app to quit then open Xcode. This shows the breakpoint, but the app can not continue. Is there a better way to handle this?

In the past QLThumbnailImageCreate would return an NSImage from a url pointing to a webarchive. It's not doing so now. Is this a bug, or do I not understand something?

I submitted a version of this question 3 years ago. There has not been an answer. 662 developers are watching that question. As requested by KMT I submitted a bug report. Others had submitted a similar bug report before me. As far as I can tell, nothing has been done to address this issue. Not addressing this issue amounts to disturbing negligence. This is important! WebView is flakey. It needs to be replaced. Apple Engineering: Please accept responsibility for this issue and respond with a date when we can expect a solution.

When I shut down the mac while my app is still running, my app relaunches the next time I launch the mac. The problem is the data I had just entered into my app before shutdown is not saved as it is when I Quit the app. I'm trying to better understand this automatic relaunch of open apps so I can address this issue. Where is the documentation? What are the key words?

I'm writing a safari app extension using the default Xcode project and objective c. I want to add interface items to the popover(as Xcode has defined it with the SafariExtensionViewController.xib) and use the SafariExtensionHandler to control and respond to these interface items. I find that I can add interface items to the SafariExtensionViewController.xib. I also can connect those items to SafariExtensionViewController.h. However, SafariExtensionHandler.popoverViewController is a member of the SFSafariExtensionViewController class, the superClass of SafariExtensionViewController so I can not use this popover controller to access the outlets that I add to the SafariExtensionViewController. How can I access these interface items from the SafariExtensionHandler? ChatGPT suggest I use [SFSafariApplication sharedApplication] as an intermediary. There is no such thing. Sign!

Can macOS Safari App Extensions be purged for example in low memory situations?

I'm building a safari app extension with objective c. I'm using the default Xcode project. I've successfully added a NSView to the popover window. When I drag a NSTableView into the popover window, it appears in the XIB, but I can't find how to connect it to the SafariExtensionViewController. I tried adding a custom ViewController to the XIB and making the tableview its view which seems to be ok. How should I proceed from here, or is their another approach?

I'm trying to get the row index of a NSTableRowView that has experienced a mouseEnter event. It should be easy with rowAtPoint using NSEvent.locationInWindow. I can't get it to work. The NSTableView lies inside a NSStackView. Of course the NSStackView adjusts the visual size of the NSTableView etc. Is NSStackView interfering? If so, how should I adjust my call to rowAtPoint?

I suspect that my mac app's savedstate data is over full. I've been doing a great many launches of my mac application which involves creating new files, then breaking back to Xcode. Now a stable compiled version and a later version launched from inside Xcode both crash. The Xcode crashes are preceded by NSDocumentController calls that include the suggestive phrase: "... makeDocumentForURL:withContentsOfURL:alternateContent...". As this occurs before control is given to my code, it must be part of document-based app's launch activity. The only thing I can see to do is to delete the app's savedstate data. How do I delete this savedstate data? The instructions on the web are out-of-date.

When a user is editing a NSTextView and commits some kinds of operations (e.g. Quiting an app), the NSTextView's textStorage does not contain the current contents of the NSTextView. How do I get the current contents?

On launching my app from Xcode, my document-based app automatically apparently tries to load a cached document from a previous launch. That document appears to be corrupted as the app crashes in initWithCoder [which was called from readFromData:]. The solution appears to be to delete the cached documents. Where are they located and is there anything special about deleting them?

There are a number of answers to this question on the web. The latest that I have found is for early 2020, and it no longer seems appropriate. What is the current method?

I am trying to add a new screenshot in either the png or jpg format to a product page of an existing app. When I try to reorder the screenshots, App Store Connect says the new screenshot is not in the RGB color space. Preview, which created them, and Finder both say they are in the RGB color space. What should I do?

Using NSDocument.readFromData and NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithData, I retrieve an object (of type A) with a property of type NSMutableArray. That array contains a nested chain of objects of type A. The problem object is a child of a child... in that array. I try to do Count on that array and I get an error.

Just a simple question here: As far as I can tell, I must install my Safari extension with an app that I built in Xcode. OK. What is not clear is what happens when the user quits my installing app. Does the extension remain available through Safari, or is it deleted? Is it available the next time my user runs Safari, or does he/she have to run my installer app again?
