i thought it is impossible to have CallKit show system UI for outgoing calls. but then i saw this: "For incoming and outgoing calls, CallKit displays the same interfaces as the Phone app..." https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit how do i present it though? or is this a documentation error?

hello, how do i create a virtual microphone on macOS that can be selected as a default input device in System Settings or in apps like FaceTime / QuickTime Player / Skype, etc? is Audio HAL plugin the way to go? i've seen this macOS 10.15 note: "Legacy Core Audio HAL audio hardware plug-ins are no longer supported. Use Audio Server plug-ins for audio drivers." though i am not sure if that's applicable, as i can think of these interpretations: 1 "Legacy Core Audio HAL audio hardware plug-ins are no longer supported (but you can still use non-legacy ones.) 2 "Legacy Core Audio HAL audio hardware plug-ins are no longer supported." (but you can still use non-hardware ones".) 3 "Legacy Core Audio HAL audio hardware plug-ins are no longer supported". (if you used that functionality to implement audio hardware drivers then your you can use Audio Server plug-ins instead, otherwise you are screwed.) The "Audio Server plugin" documentation is minimalistic: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1811/_index.html which leads to a 2013 sample code: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/AudioDriverExamples/Introduction/Intro.html and contains a "nullAudio" plugin and a kernel extension backed plugin - neither of those i wasn't able to resurrect (i'm on macOS Catalina now). any hints?

hello, i don't think it is provided by the system already so i'd like to implement a smart version of DispatchQueue.async function - the one that will not reschedule the block if i am already on the queue in question and call the block directly instead in this case.  extension DispatchQueue { func asyncSmart(execute: @escaping () -> Void) { if DispatchQueue.current === self { // ????? execute() } else { async(execute: execute) } } } the immediate problem is that there is no way to get the current queue (in order to compare it with the queue parameter and do the logic branch). anyone've been through it and solved this puzzle?

i have a list like this: id: 1, image: image1, title: title1, badge: 0 id: 2, image: image2, title: title2, badge: 0 id: 3, image: image3, title: title3, badge: 0 ... is my understanding correct that in order to do a smooth "expected" animation when I want to change both the badge of the item and its order i have to manually split this "big" update into two smaller updates (first change then move, or vice versa)? this is somewhat surprising, i would expect a diffable implementation to have a notion of "identity" (in the example above it's "id") and calculate the differences based on that identity plus ite equivalence check rather than just based on the hash/equality check for the whole item.
