Comment on dispatch_async to global much slower in recent Mac Catalyst versions?
hello, thanks for the response! no i dont need drand48() particularly, that is just my go-to on apple platforms. any reasonable uniform random [0.0, 1.0] would work. i saw some other ones in the docs but havent tested them for this thread interference issue. one thing about the random functions that i noticed, they can get slower if they are "truly" random. i just need approximately random.

Comment on macos app non-store distribution question / hardened runtime
thanks, will have to get back to this in the near future, we had to put it aside because the signing looks to be non-trivial. it looks like the method we are using to build the underlying code ("pyinstaller" ... python installer) packs a whole bunch of .so and .dylib libraries together in a directory hierarchy, and each one of these need to be signed, possibly. yikes.

Comment on share extension not showing up for my existing project
this is brilliant. iOS Deployment Target is the operating system level. if you add a new extension to an old app, it will have a deployment target (OS level) set to the highest that the Xcode version that you are using supports, by default. however, if your test device is at a lower OS level, the extension will not show and you won't see any errors reported. silent fail. this answer fixed it for me.
