I've set up a Notification Content Extension for my app, but it's not getting called(tried both local and remote push). I've read the Apple dev guide, and I've set up everything as it says. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotificationsui/customizing_the_appearance_of_notifications I've looked over the common issues (setting proper deployment targets and setting category identifiers from the backend and in the .plist) After receiving the notification, I'm not able to get the expanded view and neither is the didReceive(_ notification: UNNotification) of my extension view controller getting invoked. Is there something I'm missing while doing the extension setup, I m not able to figure out the problem? Also, I m not able to understand this note from apple "Notification content app extensions are supported only in iOS apps" when all the Notification content Extension APIs are provided for MacOS also?

I have a basic Xcode project where I am adding a swift file with the below AppIntent. This causes the AppIntent action to be added in the Shortcuts app in MacOS. I wanted to know how is this AppIntent directly be able to add the Intent action in the shortcuts app. I have checked the build setting in the Xcode project but I did not find anything being generated that could have caused this. Can someone help me understand what internally happens that causes the action to be added to the shortcuts app? import AppIntents import SwiftUI @available(macOS 13, *) struct TWIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "TWMeditationIntent" static var description = IntentDescription("try adding this sample action as your TW shortcut") static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Get information on \(\.$TWType)") } // we can have multiple parameter of diff types @Parameter(title: "TWType", description: "The type to get information on.") var TWType: String func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<String> & ProvidesDialog { NSLog(AppDelegate.TAG + "Inside perform() in MeditationIntent") return .result(value: TWType, dialog: "Logged a 15 minute break.\(TWType)") } }

I have added an "App Intents Extension" target to my main application in macOS. This generated the below two files: TWAppIntent.swift import AppIntents struct TWAppIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "TWAppIntentExtension" static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Get information on \(\.$TWType)") } //launch app on running action static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true // we can have multiple parameter of diff types @Parameter(title: "TWType") var TWType: String func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<String> & ProvidesDialog { return .result(value: TWType, dialog: "Logged break.") } } TWAppIntentExtension.swift import AppIntents @main struct TWAppIntentExtension: AppIntentsExtension { } I m able to build the extension target and I my intent action is available in the shortcuts app. However, on launching a shortcut with the above created intent action. I m getting the below popups: I have identified what is causing this error. Setting the openAppWhenRun to true is causing this error. I don't get this when it is set to false. This property is supposed to launch the application, but can someone help me understand why is it happening? This is only causing the error when using this property for AppIntent Extension and not for In app handling for the AppIntent. Can we not launch our application from AppIntent extension?

I have been using the Cpp-Swift Interoperability in Xcode15 for direct communication between Cpp and Swift code. It required a few Build settings changes for the Swift Compiler and creating clang modules to access cpp code in swift. I wanted to use this interoperability feature in my visual studio project which is using Cmake. I m not able to find the Xcode attribute property flags for my cmake to enable this interoperability. Can someone help with this?

I had raised a support request in Apple DTS for an issue related to notification. I had a few iteration with the support team related to this but the problem remains unresolved. Everytime I send a response for what has been asked, it takes more than a week for the team to reply. This issue has been pending for over a month now and my work is blocked due to this. Can someone help me in getting a quick response or tell me how to reach the relevant people who can help me with this? Here is my Case ID : 5269018

I have observed that in my application, Even If I set the QoS value of all the thread created to USER_INTERACTIVE, the OS is producing a warning "Thread running at User-Interactive QoS class waiting on a lower QoS thread running at Default QoS class. Investigate ways to avoid priority inversions". I am aware that it is not right to set all threads as USER_INTERACTIVE QoS, but If we assume this case for once, then it means that the OS can dynamically change the QoS of the threads even if we are explicitly setting it. Is this the correct understanding? Also, the main thread has QoS value USER_INTERACTIVE, then is it the case that its child threads will inherit the QoS value from the parent thread, If we are not setting any QoS for a pthread?

I have a project implementing new interop mechanism and I m able to successfully invoke swift class method directly from swift. However, when I try to invoke the swift extension method it produces an error : No member named 'GetExtData' in 'InteropExtension::SwiftCode' Below is my cpp code: #include "CppSource.hpp" #include "InteropExtension-Swift.h" void CppSource::CppToSwiftCall() { // successfull call InteropExtension::SwiftCode::GetClassData(); //Below call is causing error. Why is swift extension method not invoked? InteropExtension::SwiftCode::GetExtData(); } Below is my swift code: import Foundation public class SwiftCode { public static func GetClassData () -&gt; String { return "classMethod" } } extension SwiftCode { public static func GetExtData () -&gt; String { return "ExtMethod" } } Can someone helpout on why is the extension methods not being invoked, and how can I invoke it?

I have a bundled application that contains a widget extension. On launching the application once the widget appears in the widget gallery, However, I have observed that If my widget extension is not sandboxed, the widget fails to show in the widget gallery. Is this expected? I am using the same xcode project and just that AppSandbox capability for the widget extension target is causing this. Can someone please explain why is this happening?

I m using Mac Automator app to add new actions to the right click quick menu for files and folder. As can we seen in the image we have a number of actions available for mail app, Calendar, photos and other apps. I wanted to know whether something similar can be done for my app. I wanted to list my app in the library and provide some similar action options. Can it be done?

I m trying to identify if my launched process is running on a local mac machine(desktop/laptop) or a virtual macOS X instance like AWS EC2, Azure, MacStadium etc. I have followed this link which searched for its limited providers in the output, but I m not bound to any limited providers and looking for a general solution which is applicable to all the providers. Is there some hardware/network/virtualization-related information that can be used to identify if the process is launched on a virtual MacOS instance? OR is there some system Information that I can use to be sure that my process is running on a local machine?

I have a need to interoperate between cpp and swift. Here when we return a 'String' type from swift to cpp, the type that we receive in cpp is 'swift::string'. I wanted to convert 'swift::string' to char* in cpp. Any help on how can this be achieved in cpp?

In the mac general setting, we can provide the language preference for an individual application like in the image below, I have provided for TextEdit app. Now based on the system preferred languages, TextEdit will have a default language. However if I explicitly set the language for TextEdit (arabic in my example), then the application will use that language. I wanted to identify in my program the language that an app is currently running in. I have tried the below code, but it always return 'en', even after my preference is set to 'Arabic'. let u = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/System/Applications/TextEdit.app") let b = Bundle(url: u)! let textedit_preference = b.preferredLocalizations print(textedit_preference) //["en"] How can I identify what language is being set by the user for an individual application? I have followed this link but it does not contain this information.

I wanted to add some dock menu options for my application when it is not running. These dock menu options can be used to launch the application. I came across dock TilePlugin that can be used to add these dock options. But one of the comments in this forum discussion mentions that these Plugins are not allowed if you want ot publish your application in the appStore. Can someone confirm this? If this is true, then Is there some other solution that can be used to add the dock options which appear when the application is not running, and can be used to launch the application? Also do the recent open Files appear using this plugin mechanism?

In IOS, when the device is kept idle for some time, the screen turns off and the device enters sleep mode. It also enters sleep mode when we press the power button to turn the screen off. In my application, I wanted to detect If the device has entered/exited the sleep mode. I have followed the below links but some of these ways like observing 'Darwin notifications' is no longer allowed by apple. Other ways consider the device being locked as sleep mode, which is not precisely correct. Is there a way to correctly determine this? Please share the apple documentation links if this is possible. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14191980/detect-screen-on-off-from-ios-service/14208787#14208787 https://nemecek.be/blog/104/checking-if-device-is-locked-or-sleeping-in-ios

I have the below code where my swift code calls a cpp function. In this the swift calls a cpp function and passes a swift 'String' as argument to it, which is then received in the cpp code as 'const char *'. This conversion works without any errors. Is this a documented behaviour in cpp-swift interop and is this safe to use? Swift side: internal static func CharCheck (pSentence: String) -&gt; Void { TWSoundLogic.CharacterSoundCount (pSentence) } In the C++ side, void TWSoundLogic::CharacterSoundCount (const char * pSentence) { .. } However, on returning a String type from a swift function and trying to receive it as a const char* in c++, it gives an error in cpp No viable conversion from 'swift::String' to 'const char *' . Why does it not allow to return, but it allows to pass as argument? Can someone explain this behaviour?
