For cursor update events (with NSTrackingArea) how to know if it's coming or going?
I've added an NSTrackingArea to my NSView because I want a certain rectangular area to show a different cursor. As expected, my view gets a call to it's cursorUpdate:(NSEvent*) method, but how do I tell whether it's an "enter" or "leave". - (void)cursorUpdate:(NSEvent *)event { // Do I push or pop my custom NSCursor? } I notice the event.modifierFlags changes from 8 to 9. But I don't see any public enum constants to test that, so I don't know if I can depend on that. The public enum contains stuff like this, in the higher bits. typedef NS_OPTIONS(NSUInteger, NSEventModifierFlags) { NSEventModifierFlagCapsLock = 1 << 16, NSEventModifierFlagShift = 1 << 17, ... The tracking area setup code: NSRect nsRect = ... NSTrackingAreaOptions options = NSTrackingCursorUpdate | NSTrackingActiveInKeyWindow; NSTrackingArea *trackingArea = [[NSTrackingArea alloc] initWithRect: nsRect options: options owner: owner userInfo: userInfo]; [myView addTrackingArea: trackingArea];

Images in documentation comments not working?
Does anyone use this? I can't get it working. I'm talking about code in normal swift files, not playgrounds.Example:/// ![testdiagram](/Users/me/fullpathto/test-image.png) /// ![test xcode image](http://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net/assets/elements/icons/128x128/xcode.png) ///Neither one displays anything in the documentation popover or the Quick Help Inspector.The docs act like it works: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Xcode/Reference/xcode_markup_formatting_ref/Images.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40016497-CH17-SW1A lot of my code would really benefit from diagrams in documentation. I'd love to be able to use this.

Confirm Fix-it by keyboard shortcut? Return key doesn't do it.
Is there a way to quickly confirm a "fix-it" popup using only the keyobard? The "Fix Next Issue" and "Fix Previous Issue" commands just show the popup. I still have to manually press the "Fix" button. Return key simply dismisses the popup. Clicking that tiny button 1000's of times is annoying. Xcode 12.4. In IntelliJ I can fly through these with a nice keyboard shortcut. I'm looking for a similar thing in Xcode.

SwiftUI, macOS, how to hook up to Edit menu's commands?
In SwiftUI on macOS, you can add items to the main menu by using things like CommandGroup, CommandMenu. But the default menus already have items. For example, the Edit menu has Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All. Those menu items are grayed out and don't do anything. Is there a way to hook some Swift code to these? Or do you just use CommandGroup(replacing: ...) to replace them? That doesn't seem right; why put them there if you just have to replace them? Besides hooking up a function to run when they get clicked, I'd like to know how to enable and disable them depending on app state.         WindowGroup {             MyContentView()         }.commands {             SidebarCommands()             CommandGroup(after: .newItem) {                 Button { newFolder() } label: { Text("New Folder") }                     .keyboardShortcut("n", modifiers: [.command, .option])             }         }

How to validate NLLanguage values for NLLanguageRecognizer?
I expected the initializer NLLanguage(rawValue: "...") to return nil if I gave it junk, but it doesn't. It accepts any string. I'm loading values from a database so I'd like to know if I'm getting one that is valid, like "en", "es", etc., as opposed to an error. Is there anyway to check that? I'm using it to set NLLanguageRecognizer.languageConstraints, so I guess by "valid" I mean all the languages that work with that property. The struct has a bunch of static constants: struct NLLanguage { static let english = ... static let spanish = ... ... } If those all work with NLLanguageRecognizer I guess I can paste them all into a dictionary.

Bad: OutlineGroup is not lazy loading children?
This appears to severely limit the usefulness of hierarchical lists in SwiftUI. I want to use the new hierarchical list/outline to display a filesystem tree. For data to pass to OutlineGroup, I created a class named FileSystemNode, and gave it a computed children property. When the getter is first called, it will read its directory contents to return a list (if it is a directory). Problem is, when the OutlineGroup is first displayed, even though it is collapsed on-screen to a single node, it calls children and recurses over the entire filesystem. Is there a way to stop this? If not, I hope it gets fixed before release. (This is on macOS Big Sur beta)

UI Test localization screenshots fail - they're between screens
I'd like to use the new localization screenshots and test plans feature to take screenshots in different languages, for the app store. I end up with images that are half one screen and half another, like it's some kind of timing issue. My test code is below. Is it missing something that would give it the right timing on the screenshots?I wrote a UI test and set "Localization Screenshots" to "On" in the test plan's settings. The UI test walks through a few screens and the resulting test report has a few image files attached labeled "Localization screenshot". Some images are are split so that the left side is one view controller and the right side is another, like it captured a push navigation transition. Another image has two overlaid screens, each half faded.I'm running in the simulator. My test code looks like: func testTakeScreenshots() { let app = XCUIApplication() app.launch() // At workouts page app.tables["workouts"].cells.element(boundBy: 0).tap() // At first workout app.navigationBars.buttons["edit"].tap() // At workout edit screen, click first exercise app.tables.cells.element(boundBy: 0).tap() ... }

Xcode build error about "cycle" that doesn't exist?
My project builds after a clean, but then fails to build. I can't understand these error messages. I have a macOS app target ("MyArchives") and a library target ("HelpPG") in the project. The app uses the library. Logically, there is no cycle. The library is an attempt to wrap PostgreSQL's libpq with some Swift stuff. It works when it runs after the clean build. I don't know what it's talking about with "headers before sources". That is already the case for the library target. There are no headers in the app target (which is all Swift). For readability, strings were substituted: [DEBUG] = /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyArchives-flyvnqgqeolefjeztyopfnoaqmaj/Build/Products/Debug [UUID1] = bb030422ec80ba11076c24bcbd7fcd674d61e6313e2915ec58f3544977cb99a4 [UUID2] = bb030422ec80ba11076c24bcbd7fcd67db6f662ae7c65be0e231d735b4905dc3 Showing All Messages Cycle in dependencies between targets 'MyArchives' and 'HelpPG'; building could produce unreliable results. This usually can be resolved by moving the target's Headers build phase before Compile Sources.

Simple layout still fails
I'm surprised this simple code still doesn't work on iOS 13.3 / Xcode 11.3. On my iPhone SE it's almost all off screen.It's just two pieces of text, side by side, and two pickers, side by side. Anyone know a workaround? struct ContentView: View { @State var choice: Int = 10 @State var choice2: Int = 10 var body: some View { return VStack { HStack { Text("Some text here") Spacer() Text("Foo baz") } HStack { Picker(selection: self.$choice, label: Text("C1")) { ForEach(0..&lt;10) { n in Text("\(n) a").tag(n) } } Picker(selection: self.$choice2, label: Text("C2")) { ForEach(0..&lt;10) { n in Text("\(n) b").tag(n) } } } } } }

UIDocument no longer saving, error in URLByAppendingPathExtension
I've been working on an iOS app with UIDocuments. They were saving fine. Now all of a sudden, after unrelated changes, nothing will save. Here is the error printed in Xcode console: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSURL URLByAppendingPathExtension:]: component, components, or pathExtension cannot be nil.' log.debug("save to:\(self.document.fileURL)") document.save(to: document.fileURL, for: .forOverwriting) { success in ... } The log message there prints a valid URL.

UIScrollView does not give touches to subview if drag starts quickly
I have a UIScrollView, and its subview inside needs to respond to some touchesMoved events without scrolling. I've got it mostly working, but with one sticking point that confuses the user: if I touch and quickly move my finger, then the UIScrollView takes the gesture as a scroll, and never calls the touchesBegan, touchesMoved, etc., of its subview. However, if I touch, then pause for a bit, then drag, then things work as intended: the subview gets touchesBegan, touchesMoved, etc., and things are handled without any scrolling. On my UIScrollView, I've set: delaysContentTouches = false canCancelContentTouches = true And I've overrode touchesShouldCancel(in view: UIView). But that does not get called in the case when I quickly drag my finger. Is there something else I need to do?

Is TextKit 2 built on Core Text?
It's a simple question. I'm just trying to understand how these things fit together. Core Text doesn't seem to get updated much, but maybe that's because it's low level and doesn't need it. I assume it's still the recommended way to do low-level text things not handled by TextKit. ?
