Yes, this is very likely the completely wrong way to do things but I would like to ask regardless. Currently with windows/linux I can perform an in-situ upgrade of an application by performing a download of the binary 'foo' and then doing a rename-and-replace and subsequently requesting the licencee to restart the program and all is good. With macOS, as the binary is within the foo.app ( Contents/macOS/foo ) I imagine I cannot perform a similar operation without breaking the signing of the foo.app itself? ....or, can I individually sign the binary foo for macOS and perform the same type of operation? Download new foo as foo.new rename current foo.app/Content/macOS/foo -> foo.old rename foo.new -> foo Restart application Again, I know this is very likely an un-macOS way of performing the task but as you can imagine with supporting cross-platform development it's usually easier to maintain a consistent method even if it's "not ideal".

This is with SDL2 and C++ Due to the new security design of Sequoia involving the sandboxed helper processes (via ViewBridge) to show open/save panels, my existing code for invoking Open/SaveAs/FolderSelect dialogs no longer works and instead terminates with ViewBridge Code=14 "(null)" error. Even in the simplest of forms such as; nfdresult_t NFD_OpenDialogN_With_Impl(nfdversion_t version, nfdnchar_t** outPath, const nfdopendialognargs_t* args) { nfdresult_t result = NFD_CANCEL; NSOpenPanel* dialog = [NSOpenPanel openPanel]; if ([dialog runModal] == NSModalResponseOK) { result = NFD_OKAY; } return result; } ...Will no longer work. My Question is essentially, how can I resolve this NSUserDefaults domain empty/nil issue ( currently I don't pass anything for sharing defaults during the process ). Dump of fault provided in crash.txt ( the program doesn't actually crash, it just doesn't invoke the file-open dialog ) crash.txt
