MailKit now in iOS16?
I'm confused about this ... the MailKit headers files seem to suggest that MailKit APIs are available for iOS16 now. But I haven't seen any documentation mention it, and you can't create a MailKit extension for iOS (using Xcode 14) like you can with macOS. So is it available to use in iOS or not? If so, how do we create an iOS target for the MailKit extension?

Volume purchasing with In-app purchases
Hi, My app is free-to-download but with an in-app purchase to unlock all the features. A user wants to buy 15 copies of the "unlock" IAP and distribute it to his team, using MDM to distribute it easily. I don't believe there is a way to do this through business purchases, is that right? You can only download apps through MDM but not in-app purchases. So what's the best way to do this? Are there any standard solutions? Can I upload a new version of the app that's "paid up-front" but not available through the regular App Store, but only through MDM?

MailKit: access rawData for email
Hi, I am trying to build a Mail 'action' extension, and want to access the email body and parse it for specific content. Not sure how to go about converting the 'rawData' that comes in the MEMessage into something that I can read. Here's how I access the rawData property: func decideAction(for message: MEMessage, completionHandler: @escaping (MEMessageActionDecision?) -> Void) { var action: MEMessageActionDecision? = nil      if let messageData =  message.rawData {          print("messageData = \(messageData)") // what to do here??      } else {          action = MEMessageActionDecision.invokeAgainWithBody      } return action } The documentation just says this is 'unprocessed data': The content is available after MailKit downloads the message. MailKit provides the content as unprocessed data. For details about the format of the data, see RFC 2822. But I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to go about converting the unprocessed 'data' into something that is accessible and useful to my app. Let me know if you have any thoughts or recommendations

StoreKit2: does Transaction.all include paid apps?
Hi, I have a paid app available through the Mac App Store, and when the user opens the app, I want to verify that the transaction of the payment is valid. I would have assumed that in StoreKit2, the 'Transaction.all' would work, but when I tested this, it shows 0 transactions for all users. This is what I'm testing: for await result in Transaction.all { guard case .verified(let transaction) = result else { continue } print("verified product = \(transaction.productID)") // send to analytics } But nothing gets observed in the analytics. Does the StoreKit2 framework have an easy way to determine transactions that are made for paid-up-front apps?

NSApplication's openURLs delegate method not getting called
Hi, I am trying to invoke this NSApplicationDelegate callback from my Mac app, but it's not getting called: - (void)application:(NSApplication *)application openURLs:(NSArray<NSURL *> *)urls I have registered the URL scheme in my Info.plist: <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string> <key>CFBundleURLName</key> <string>com.my.testapp</string> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>mytestapp</string> </array> </dict> </array> Now I use a 2nd Mac app to test this out, by invoking the following code: if let url = URL(string: "mytestapp://") {             NSWorkspace.shared.open(url)         } This causes my first app to come to the foreground, and the "applicationDidBecomeActive:(NSNotification *)notification" method gets called, but the "application:(NSApplication *)application openURLs:(NSArray<NSURL *> *)urls" method mentioned above doesn't get invoked, which is what I want. Any ideas about why that might be the case?

Detecting Link tap inside WidgetKit
Hi, I am working on a widget for my existing Mac app. The problem I am running into is that when I add a Link from the widget to the main app, the method 'openURLs' isn't called at all: - (void) application: (NSApplication *)application openURLs:(NSArray<NSURL *> *)urls  So I'm not able to direct the app on how to best handle the widget tap. I'm trying to work around that by trying to detect if a Link was selected. Something like this could work Link("Test", destination: URL(string: "https://duckduckgo.com")!) .environment(\.openURL, OpenURLAction { url in print("---> testing link actioned") return .systemAction }) When I add this to the main app, it works fine. But when I add something like this to the widget, the completion handler isn't called (supposedly). Can someone confirm if this was supposed to work inside a widget? Or is it only something that works from the main app?

StoreKit2 to validate purchase of paid-app
Hi, I have a paid app in the Mac App Store, and I want to verify that the user purchased the app legitimately. Does the StoreKit2 framework have an easy way to determine this? From the documentation I've seen, I believe the 'Transaction.currentEntitlements' call will only return transactions for IAP and subscriptions. I would assume that 'Transaction.all' would work, but when I run the app (with Xcode debugger attached) I get no results. What's the best way to test this out for an app that's going to be paid-up-front?

macOS Monterey partition missing "SF Pro Text" font
I want to use the "SF Pro Text" font in my app. It works fine when I build my app on my main computer running macOS11 Big Sur, but I have a 2nd partition to run macOS Monterey, and it doesn't seem to be available there at all, whether through Interface Builder or through code (using NSFontManager). Using this returns nil on my Monterey partition: NSFont* regularFont = [[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] fontWithFamily:@"SF Pro Text" traits:NSFontWeightRegular weight:5 size: 16.0]; Maybe I'm missing something here ... should I have to install the font manually? I thought the SF Font is a 'system font', so it would be available on all Macs?

Unable to accept "Paid Applications Agreement"
Hi, When I login to App Store connect, I get a banner message saying "Review the updated Paid Applications Schedule": In order to update your existing apps, create new in-app purchases, and submit new apps to the App Store, the user with the Legal role (Account Holder) must review and accept the Paid Applications Schedule (Schedule 2 to the Apple Developer Program License Agreement) in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking module. When I click the link, select "View and Agree Terms", and select the checkbox and select the "Agree" button to accept the terms, I get an error message: We are currently unable to process your request. Please try again later. This has been happening for the past 2 days now. What should I try to do to overcome this problem? I'll file a bug with Apple, but it takes them many days to respond to these issues usually.

macOS: Detect Link URL from WidgetKit extension
I am building a widget for my (AppKit) Mac app, and one thing I can't figure out is how to detect when a Link is pressed in the widget to open the parent app. It just opens the parent app but I can't get any information about the URL that was passed in. With iOS, it's easy to detect, from the AppDelegate method: - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation I can't find anything equivalent on macOS. Can someone point me to the right place?
