It’s actually quite an unusual scenario, I finally realized: a. You’re archiving something in a keyed archive without a key. b. You’re archiving using an API that I doubt is used at all very

Ah, makes sense. I wondered about that myself. I tried just leaving it off, but that didn’t work either. Without the source code for the private ‘old array’ class, it’s hard to guess what to

FWIW, 102 is 0x66, or a lower case “f”. Also, I think a “$” at the start of an archive key is an escape character, and so probably shouldn’t be taken literally. However, I don’t know what

Bug Reporter No: 35926492

OK, the bug is reproducible in a very simple test case. Apple have f***ed up for sure here. This writes the simplest possible archive that includes this structure - here’s what it looks like in a

So, this is looking damn strange. So far, it appears is if 10.13.2 has actually broken dearchiving when using this. It may be an intentional breakage, or not. I’ve been through the documentation

Can you find out what @encode(float) is in 10.12 and 10.13.2? Does decoding fail if you use @encode(uint32_t) instead?

Well, 10.13.2 is out, so I now have to solve this issue urgently. Turns out it is in my code (no real surprise) and the issue seems to be with this: [coder decodeArrayOfObjCType:@encode(float)

You could create a persistent reference. If your window controller will have only one instance (such as a non-document app’s main window), you can have a simple static variable in (say) the window

The static analyzer gives me some warnings of possible leaks that I know aren't real leaks, but it makes me think that I may be using a bad design pattern. The situation is that I create an

How are you distributing the beta version? A zip file? One problem I run into often is that customers have their email on a Windows PC, and they therefore tend to download the zip file on the PC. If

The trouble is, without some more details, it’s not clear what is the boundary between the client and the code module the client is calling into. However, you suggest the window controller is

Assuming they’re direct downloading it, are they moving it out of ~/Downloads before trying to run it? I’ve been facing this issue myself recently. Look for Notes: Translocated

OK, if anyone’s interested, I figured this out. This is in an ARC project, and it’s a memory management issue. The window controller was being returned by a class method that just

Hi all, We are getting a few reports from a couple of our more adventurous customers who are running a beta version of 10.13.2, saying that our app doesn’t launch (the App is available on the App

Hi all, I have a problem with controls in a sheet-modal window. The button control’s target and action are set up to call a method in File’s Owner, which is a NSWindowController subclass that

Something like this from 2012. https://finalize.com/2012/12/14/uikit-class-hierarchy-chart/ It appears to be gone now.

While we see in the docs for the classes we are looking at that “this class inherits from this other class”, we don’t see the whole inheritance chain. Sometimes, that’s useful. Once we

This may be an overly trivial solution, but if I recall correctly, we used to create an UnusedExtensions folder at the same level and moved the kext into that folder. I think it really is that simple,

On High Sierra, 10.13.n, how does a developer go about uninstalling their own kext placed in /Library/StagedExtensions? As I understand it (maybe incorrectly), these are under SIP protection. The
