In my Catalyst app, I use MFMailComposeViewController to send emails, but MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() always returns false after updating to macOS 15.1. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve it?

You're doing the right thing by checking if the MessageUI framework is able to send mail. It will return true when it is able to send mail, but if you have situations where you beleive it should be able to send mail but is returning false, then please open a bug report with that information and post the FB number here.

I am having the exact same problem. I can confirm that it is not working since macOS 15.1. Please see also the post here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79126345/macos-15-1-mfmailcomposeviewcontroller-cansendmail-returns-false-always
