10.15 command line tools headers missing

Hi all, I was initially reluctant to post this here because of NDA concerns, but as Google is surfacing Apple's developer forum pages (including the post below), I figured I'm OK! As most of you probably know, in 10.14 last year, Apple stopped installing headers with the command line tools, bu

[Slightly OT] Cocoa developer job ad

Hi all, I run a software company in the UK and we're looking to hire some full-time Mac software developers to join our growing team in Edinburgh, Scotland on a permanent basis. We'll be advertising for junior/mid-level, and senior software engineer roles in all the usual places, but I've been

Re: Screensaver can capture mouse events under Catalina

I have to say, I'd be surprised if this were possible. From a security point of view, I can understand why Apple would want to prevent a screensaver from being able to capture keystrokes. > On 25 May 2020, at 11:34 pm, Michael Diehr via Cocoa-dev > wrote: > >> On May 25, 2020, at 12:43 PM, Ga

Updating localised auth-prompt strings

Hi folks, I have an app which communicates with a privileged helper tool, and I used the AuthorizationRightSet API to add the rights, requirements, and prompt strings to the authorizationdb - as per Apple's documentation. As expected, this initial call to "AuthorizationRightSet" does not promp

Exception not being caught in try statement

Hi folks, Some users are reporting a crash that I can't reproduce, and in an attempt to gain additional diagnostics from a user, I wrapped the affected line in a try/catch block. For two users it resolve the crash, but for a third, it's still crashing at the same point! The crash occurs when

Re: Xcode 14 minimum deployment target

I've held off upgrading for the same reason. I wonder if it's something to do with a semantic difference between "is no longer supported" and "is no longer possible". Maybe what they really mean is "if it appears to work, great, but we can't guarantee it, and if it fails spectacularly, you're on

Setting app icon in NSWorkspace

Hi all, I'm trying to offer my users the option (via a pre-defined list in my app's Preferences) to choose an app icon which shows up in the Dock and the Finder. Updating the Dock tile whilst the app is running is fairly simple to achieve, but I also want the Dock icon and Finder icons to remai
