Reply to The State of Mac Catalyst in 2026
Thank you @szymczyk! I plan on making a multi-platform app. Can you elaborate on why would I would be better off to make a dedicated macOS app versus an iPad app and porting it via Catalyst for Mac? The reason I ask this is because I've seen many developers take that route, skipping developing a dedicated Mac app entirely and just use Catalyst. For example Apple themselves with: Music Podcasts Find My Journal Maps Messages. FaceTime Books Clock News Stocks Weather Phone Voice Memos All these are apps that are built with Catalyst. And many third party developers are choosing Catalyst for their Mac apps as well, like Ivory, IceCubes, Craft app. I believe they are probably taking that route for convenience and faster development. I'm not sure if they are missing anything crucial that would require a dedicated macOS app, these apps make me think that Catalyst seems fairly mature in 2026... which is why I ask this.

Reply to Following up on Feedback Assistant reports
I also have a lot of feedback reports with no response, but it doesn't bother me. I'm doing what I control which is submitting the feedback, and it's up to Apple how they handle feedback.

Reply to On macOS, how do you place a toolbar item on the trailing edge of the window's toolbar when an Inspector view is open?
It's funny. In macOS 26.2, I have the behavior that you wanted but I want the behavior that you had. Applying the same code you have, I'm trying to have a toolbar button that is right to the left of the inspector, outside of it. I can't figure out how to do it.
