Is it not possible to dynamically change or constrain an NSPreferencePane's mainView size? I have looked all over and this doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. The most I can seemingly do is set the frame and hope the user doesn't resize the window. class scor: NSPreferencePane { override func mainViewDidLoad() { mainView = NSHostingView(rootView: ContentView()) mainView.frame = NSMakeRect(0, 0, 668, 1048) } } Here is a screenshot, just with a simple webview as a test, note the scrollbar: My storyboard is just from the default prefpane Xcode template, nothing special. I looked at the header file for NSPreferencePane and came up with nothing. All I can think of is that this is impossible due to the way they are implemented? The only thing we seemingly have access to is mainView, so I can't like constrain the size of mainView to its parent, for example. Additionally, if I make a new preference pane, and make a button or other view that I choose to resize to fill horizontally and vertically, it does that, but not really? Here is what that looks like: The behaviour is similar to the previous preference pane, the width does adapt correctly, the height stays the same, forever. Not that it really matters but I am using macOS 14.7.6 on an M2 air

Hi, I try to use NSUserDefaults to share some parameter values ​​between the container app and the system extension. I have added the App Group in Signing & Capabilities in both apps. I set it in the container app and read it in the system extension app, but the information I read from the system extension is nil. I tested that I can read the information directly from the container app. Is the system extension running in the sandbox not allowed to read other app information? But the information I see should be OK, as shown below: The container app code is as follows: NSUserDefaults *sharedDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.yourcompany.shared"]; [sharedDefaults setObject:@"Sample Data" forKey:@"SharedData"]; [sharedDefaults synchronize]; The system expansion reading code is as follows: NSUserDefaults *sharedDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.yourcompany.shared"]; NSString *data = [sharedDefaults objectForKey:@"SharedData"]; os_log_debug(logHandle, "NSUserDefaults: %{public}@", data);

Hi Team, In previous macOS version, We were using this link to open system extension permission page programmatically for our swift app. x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?General In macos 15 (Sequoia), this pane is moved to system settings-> general->login Items and extensions->end point security extensions which is a modal/popup. Can you please share what should be link to open exact this popup for asking permissions.It appears when you click on i button against end point security extensions Based on apple script I could find following link but it opens login item & extensions pane, I want the next popup as above screenshot. "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.LoginItems-Settings.extension?extensionItems™

Somewhere in the back of my head, I seem to remember that we can include prefPanes in our app store distributed apps these days (much like we can now include driverkit extensions). I can't for the life of me find this in the documentation again though. Can we do this? Or do I need to copy it from my app bundle to ~/Library/PreferencePanes? Thanks!

Hi there, I have two extension in my App, a Finder Sync and a Share Extension. Because these are disabled by default and automatically enabling them is, according to my extensive research, not possible, I want to provide an easy way for the user to enable the extensions when the app is opened. I am currently displaying a popup, with a button to open the preferences. I have struggled with this a bit, by now I managed to open the main preferences window using NSWorkspace.shared.open(URL(string: "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference")!) which is rather suboptimal though, since the user has to select the extensions option manually and isn't directly redirected there. What I have also found is that the menu of the FinderSyncExtension can be opened directly by using FIFinderSyncController.showExtensionManagementInterface() which is unfortunately suboptimal as well, because it only shows the managment interface of the finder extension and not the overview of all extensions. Is there any way to either enable the extensions programatically, or if not, is there a way to show the "Added Extensions" portion of the Extensions menu in the system preferences?
