The sample code here, has code like: // Create a display link capable of being used with all active displays cvReturn = CVDisplayLinkCreateWithActiveCGDisplays(&_displayLink); But that function's doc says it's deprecated and to use NSView/NSWindow/NSScreen displayLink instead. That returns CADisplayLink, not CVDisplayLink. Also the documentation for that displayLink method is completely empty. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to add it to run loop, or what, after I get it. It would be nice to get an updated version of this sample project and/or have some documentation in NSView.displayLink

End goal: to detect 3 lines, and 2 corners accurately. Trying contours but they are a bit off. Is there a way or settings in contours to detect corners and lines more accurately, maybe less an sharper edged/corner contours? Or some other API or methods please? I would love an email please ;) thank you. 2. also an overlay/scale issue

In Xcode version 16.2 (16C5032a) I created: One [ScenekitApp] [File/New/Project/iOS/Game/Game Technology: SceneKit]. Three custom Frameworks [File/New/Project/iOS/Framework] [ASCSource.framework, ASCCommon.framework and ASCCoreData.framework]. In the four projects the [Minimum Deployments=iOS 15.0], [Swift version=6.0] and [BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=Yes]. I directly installed the [Zip.framework] in [ASCSource.framework] without [pod init/pod install] and in the [General tab] [Frameworks, Libraries and Embeded Content] [Zip.framework Embed&Sign]. I installed the three frameworks [ASCSource.framework, ASCCommon.framework and ASCCoreData.framework] in [ScenekitApp] and everything works perfectly in Xcode version 16.2(16C5032a). I updated Xcode version 16.2(16C5032a) to Xcode version 16.3(16E140) and some errors in the SDKs were indicated. [Failed to build module 'ASCSource'; this SDK is not supported by the compiler (the SDK is built with 'Apple Swift version 6.0.3 effective-5.10 (swiftlang-6.0.3.1.10 clang-1600.0.30.1)', while this compiler is 'Apple Swift version 6.1 effective-5.10 (swiftlang-6.1.0.110.21 clang-1700.0.13.3)').

Hi All! I'm being asked to migrate an app which utilizes iCloud KVS (Key Value Storage). This ability is a new-ish feature, and the documentation about this is sparse [1]. Honestly, the entire documentation about the new iCloud transfer functionality seems to be missing. Same with Game Center / GameKit. While the docs say that it should work, I'd like to understand the process in more detail. Has anyone migrated an iCloud KVS app? What happens after the transfer goes through, but before the first release? Do I need to do anything special? I see that the Entitlements file has the TeamID in the Key Value store - is that fine? <key>com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier</key> <string>$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)</string> Can someone please share their experience? Thank you! [1] https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/transfer-an-app/overview-of-app-transfer

Hi, I am trying to detect if all the screen are in fullscreen mode. The current approach is to get all windows' information from CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo and then compare the frame and coordinate with the frame of NSScreen.screens. However, there is a problem, the y position of the window seems to be relative to the screen. As it is not absolute position, I cannot compare it with the coordinate of the screen. Does anyone know if there are other information that I can use? Or is there a way to retrieve the absolute position or screen ID from the GCWIndow object?

i have a game that i upload it in the app store that my game size is 3 gigaByte but when I download it, it show that the really size is about 100 megaByte, i upload the game in google app is given me the real size, so the problem i think is when it get out the xcode, maybe some one can give me i clue for what is going on. my game was made by unity2020. if that helps.

Hello, I created a new project with the provided template for Immersive Environments. Straight out of box I build to both the Simulator and to Vision Pro and the provided Environment looks like this. What's interesting is that in Reality Composer Pro, it looks correct so how do I achieve the same look? Thank you in advance!

I am trying to model something similar to an odometer in RealityKit, where 3D numbers scroll up or down, as they increase or decrease, within a container entity. Is there a way for an Entity to clip its children so that anything that extends beyond its dimensions is not rendered?

Hi! I just installed GPTK2 on my new Mac , but the Terminal gave “Error:OpenSSL1.1 has been disabled.” How should I fix it?Or waiting for the GPTK2 beta4? Thanks.

Is there a working example of imageblock_slice with implicit layout somewhere? I get a compilation error when i write this: imageblock_slilce color_slice = img_blk.slice(frag->color); Error: No matching member function for call to 'slice' candidate template ignored: couldn't infer template argument 'E' candidate function template not viable: requires 2 arguments, but 1 was provided Too few template arguments for class template 'imageblock_slice' It seems the syntax has changed since the Imageblocks presentation https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/tech-talks/603/ I tried supplying the struct type of the image block between <> but it still does not work.

Our app uses Metal for image processing. We have found that if our app (and its possible intensive image processing) is started quickly after user is logged in, then calls to Metal may be hanging/stuck for a good while. Example: it can take 1-2 minutes for something that usually takes 3-5 seconds! Metal threads are just hanging in a memmove... In Activity Monitor we see a lot of things are happening right after log-in. But why Metal calls are blocking for so long is unknown to us... The workaround is to wait a minute before we start our app and start intensive image processing using Metal. But hard to explain this workaround to end-users... It doesn't happen on all computers but fairly easy to reproduce on some computers. We are using macOS 15.3.1. M1/M3 Max. Any good ideas for how to proceed with this problem and possible reach out to Apple engineers? Thanks! :)

In the SceneKit framework, I want to render a point cloud and need to set the minimumPointScreenSpaceRadius property of the SCNGeometryElement class, but it doesn't work. I searched for related issues on the Internet, but didn't get a final solution. Here is my code: - (SCNGeometry *)createGeometryWithVector3Data:(NSData *)vData colorData: (NSData * _Nullable)cData{ int stride = sizeof(SCNVector3); long count = vData.length / stride; SCNGeometrySource *dataSource = [SCNGeometrySource geometrySourceWithData:vData semantic:SCNGeometrySourceSemanticVertex vectorCount:count floatComponents:YES componentsPerVector:3 bytesPerComponent:sizeof(float) dataOffset:0 dataStride:stride]; SCNGeometryElement *element = [SCNGeometryElement geometryElementWithData:nil primitiveType:SCNGeometryPrimitiveTypePoint primitiveCount:count bytesPerIndex:sizeof(int)]; element.minimumPointScreenSpaceRadius = 1.0; // not work element.maximumPointScreenSpaceRadius = 20.0; SCNGeometry *pointCloudGeometry; SCNGeometrySource *colorSource; if (cData && cData.length != 0) { colorSource = [SCNGeometrySource geometrySourceWithData:cData semantic:SCNGeometrySourceSemanticColor vectorCount:count floatComponents:YES componentsPerVector:3 bytesPerComponent:sizeof(float) dataOffset:0 dataStride:stride]; pointCloudGeometry = [SCNGeometry geometryWithSources:@[dataSource, colorSource] elements:@[element]]; } else { pointCloudGeometry = [SCNGeometry geometryWithSources:@[dataSource] elements:@[element]]; } return pointCloudGeometry; }

Hi, I’m learning MAUI and was trying to use VNDocumentCameraViewController provided by Vision Kit to scan documents and it is working fine but I realized that I was not able to customize some of the options provided by default like, disabling the auto scan option. Is there any way to disable the auto scan option or are there any other alternatives with the same founctionalities as VNDocumentCameraViewController that are more customizable?

When importing FBX animations (generated by Cinema 4d or Blender) the models come in very far way and cannot resize or zoomed in. I have tried every setting from both programs to no avail. Is there a secret to providing the right export options? When importing without animations/and rigging the model imports fine and correct size. But once motion is included, something is awry. I also tried changing base units in Converter, but did not work. I have attache my model heirarchy in C4D as well as the imported result. It appears the animation is imported, as I can see it move, but can barely see it :)

Hello there, I'm having trouble matching what I see in the scenekit editor and the output of the resulting scene in a scnview. For a glitter effect I have set a high value on the diffuse intensity which looks fine in the editor but when running the game the colors are much darker. To see if the intensity value is merely capped I have set the same multiplier on the hat below - but it is blown out which looks to me like there is some grading going on I have tried to switch on hdr rendering but that didn't make a difference. I tried disabling linear rendering and that simply made everything darker still - which I expect. Does someone have an idea what else this could be? What rendering is the scenekit editor using and how can I match it? Interestingly when I take a screenshot of the editor window for this post, the image is also blown out... what is going on? :) Thanks so much for any pointers, Seb

My app is being rejected and all I'm being told is that it is spam. I've tried improving various aspects of the game, but I just receive the same copy and paste rejection message each time. I have no idea if I'm moving in the right direction or what part of my game needs to be changed or improved. Is there a game quality benchmark document or some kind of resource I can use to better understand why my game is being rejected and how to bring it to a level that meets apple's standards.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to run Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 using the Game Porting Toolkit, but I’m encountering a black screen when launching the game. From what I know about the game’s requirements, it might be using Shader Model 6.5, which supports advanced features like DirectX Raytracing (DXR) Tier 1.1. This leads me to suspect that the issue could be related to missing support for DirectX 12.1 Features or Shader Model 6.5 in GPTK. Does anyone know if these features are currently supported by GPTK? If not, are there any plans to implement them in future updates? Alternatively, is there any workaround for games that rely on Shader Model 6.5 and ray tracing? Thanks a lot for your help!

I'm implementing optimized matmul on metal: https://github.com/crynux-ai/metal-matmul/blob/main/metal/1_shared_mem.metal I notice that performance is significantly different with different threadgroup memory set in [computeEncoder setThreadgroupMemoryLength] All other lines are exactly same, the only difference is this parameter. Matmul performance is roughly 250 GFLops if I set 32768 (max bytes allowed on this M1 Max), but 400 GFLops if I set 8192. Why does this happen? How can I optimize it?

Hello, I'm getting this error when launching a SpriteKit Swift game in iOS 18+ on an iPhone 11 Pro, whose shell is partly damaged in the back: CHHapticEngine.mm:1206 -[CHHapticEngine doStartWithCompletionHandler:]_block_invoke: ERROR: Player start failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.CoreHaptics error 1852797029.) Haptics do not work on this device, due to the damaged shell, so some error — which obviously occurs when calling start(completionHandler:) — is definitely expected; what is not expected is the main thread sometimes blocking for up to 5 seconds — although the method is not called from the main thread... the error itself is always displayed from some other secondary (system) thread. During this time, the main thread does not access the haptics engine at all; on average, it blocks once every four or five launches. In each launch (blocking or not), the 'nope' error is displayed ~5 seconds after trying to start the engine. After going nuts with all kinds of breakpoints and instrumentation, I'm at a loss as to why the main thread would sometimes block... Ideas, anyone? Thank you, D.

What I have already tried: GTS_PDFA1 , PDF/A-1, true as CFString. (Above my CFDictionary. ...Author e.g are working perfectly.) In the Finder you can see these two options, which I would also like to implement in my app. Thank you in advance!
