There will be no Rosetta for normal apps in the next major release, so I guess it will be technically fixed then 🤷‍♂️

Reply to Will OpenGL API and Drivers be removed after appleOS 26?

Apple made no announcement about the removal of OpenGL, so no, it won't be removed in version 26 of Apple operating systems. And for the future, there is no way to know until they say something.

Reply to Xcode sandboxing: how to allow Documents folder access?

Show an NSOpenPanel, and ask the user to open the Documents folder, then store the security scoped bookmark. Anyway, please don't litter the Documents folder with unwanted things.

Reply to Save MPEG-TS (h264 or HEVC) video stream using AVAssetWriter.

Do you set the CMSampleBuffer kCMSampleBufferAttachmentKey* keys for keyframes? I don't think AVAssetWriter will scan the bitstream for that info, it's something you will have to provide yourself.

Reply to Registering a macOS app for dynamic text sizing in macOS 15

As the text on that sheet says, the option is only the apps listed there. Maybe it will be expanded to third party apps in the future, who knows.

That's how it's supposed to be. The actual data is in the dylib shared cache.

Reply to Failure when setting file modificationDate

HFS+ doesn't store milliseconds, only number of seconds since midnight, January 1, 1904, GMT, so there is no way to do what you want to do. Modification date is not super reliable, so while it could be useful to check for changes, it's not enough (even in a hypothetical world where HFS+ stores milliseconds).
