IDE generated *varname problem
When Xcode IDE inserts IBOutlet or autocompletes method signatures, it places the * char next to the var name: @property (weak) IBOutlet NSButton *aButton; - (NSString *)someMethod:(NSString *)param1 { } But my convention is put the * char right after the type name: @property (weak) IBOutlet NSButton* aButton; - (NSString*)someMethod:(NSString*)param1 { } Is there anyway to tell Xcode to follow my convention?

How check unreferenced headers in Objective-C?
In other IDEs on many popular platforms, developers have the ability to analyze unreferenced header files in source code (either visually or thru warnings), like below: // sourcefile.c #include <file1.h> // file2.h is not referenced in this source code file, so the following line would be grayed out in a well known iDE #include <file2.h> Is this possible in Xcode?

How disable ~/Applications/asr auto creation
It's quite annoying (maybe it's only my personal interests). Some apps or the macOS system always create ~/Applications/asr directory and create some txt files in it. asr20240708_1638030_0.txt {"type":"asr","wp_version":"","easr_version":"e792c1d2b4b5055e56fb902dfefdb483802041cc_Thu_Dec_30_17:18:43_2021_+0800","spil_version":"","wpe_version":"","vad_version":"9db42b766a4bc4e853bfa3fd2f846bf931d6c05f_Wed_Mar_24_15:56:16_2021_+0800","header_type":0} It there any way to disable this 'useful' feature?

How to identify the first desktop (space)?
My app observes NSWorkspaceActiveSpaceDidChangeNotification and set wallpaper on the active screen. But I see there is no way to distinguish between spaces on a screen. I'm not sure if I have read the docs thoroughly. I would like to know if it is possible to tell which space is active for the active screen.

Strange debug output with command line gcc
When I log in and start a Terminal window, a simple gcc command produces the following debug messages: 2022-07-15 13:52:41.470 xcodebuild[784:10833] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore 2022-07-15 13:52:41.470 xcodebuild[784:10833] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionPointIdentifierToBundleIdentifier for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionToBundleIdentifierMap.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore Subsequent invoke of gcc does not produce these messages. How to avoid this small nuisance?

How can I know when an NSTextField gets input focus (first responder)?
I think I can do this by creating a custom view overriding the following 2 methods: @implementation MyTextField - (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder { NSLog(@"%s: %@", __func__, self); return [super becomeFirstResponder]; //return YES; } - (BOOL)resignFirstResponder { NSLog(@"%s: %@", __func__, self); return [super resignFirstResponder]; //return YES; } @end But there is a gotcha - I always get successive become/resign. That is when I get becomeFirstResponder, I also get resignFirstResponder immediately. Note - I only have one MyTextField instance on my window. Is there another safe way to achieve my goal?

KVO addObserver:forKeyPath not working
This is the first time I use KVO pattern. The code is quite simple but I could not get it working - the log method never gets run. What's wrong with my code? @implementation ViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; [self.view.window addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"firstResponder" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld context:nil]; } - (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary<NSKeyValueChangeKey,id> *)change context:(void *)context { NSLog(@"%@", change); } @end

Quick Help always stops working after debugging
I have an annoying problem with Xcode 14.2. After opening a project, Quick Help pane works normally. But once a debugging session ends, it stops working (showing nothing). Meanwhile ALT+CLICK won't work either (no response). After closing and re-opening the project Quick Help works again. Is there any workaround for this nuiance? I already went back to 13.14.1.

Entitlements/signature problem with app submission
I really need help. Can anyone decrypt the following message for me: Dear Developer, We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "MYAPP" 2.0 (1200). Please correct the following issues, then upload again. ITMS-90288: Invalid Code Signing Entitlements - The entitlements in your app bundle signature do not match the ones that are contained in the provisioning profile. According to the provisioning profile, the bundle contains a key value that is not allowed: '' for the key 'com.apple.application-identifier' in 'MYAPP.app/Contents/Frameworks/libsqlite3s.dylib' ITMS-90286: Invalid Code Signing Entitlements - Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that are not supported on macOS. Specifically, value '' for key 'com.apple.application-identifier' in 'MYAPP.app/Contents/Frameworks/libsqlite3s.dylib' is not supported. This value should be a string starting with your TEAMID, followed by a dot '.', followed by the bundle identifier . The 2 dylibs are built by myself and for years I did not have this problem with submission. What should I do? Although I know something is wrong with entitlements/signature, but I have no clue at all on what I need to exactly.

NSEvent.scrollingDeltaY and "natural scrolling"
Does "natural scrolling" system preference affect NSEvent.scrollingDeltaY? BTW, I find that "natural scrolling" on my Sonoma (Mac mini m1) stops working; turning on/off has no effect when I scroll in Finder app.

Standard Value is disabled in Xcode 13
I'm not sure what I have missed in the new release, but I cannot set Standard Value in IB anymore like that I did for years. The Standard Value is disabled in constraint dropdown list. If I clear the hardcoded value, "Standard" will appear but when I press ENTER, the old value comes back. Is this a known bug or a new 'feature'?

How enlarge doc text size?
On my 27in monitor, the doc text is too small for reading. Is there any way to enlarge text size? Maybe I should file a ticket to request for a new feature for this?

NSObject isEqual: vs isEqualTo:
Got confused about these 2 methods. NSObject protocol has an isEqual: method. NSObject implements NSObject protocol but it does not have isEqual:, instead it has an isEqualTo: method. What's the magic behind the design? Or is the doc wrong? Should I implement both methods in a derived class?
