Subsequent expansion of same archive fails due to name collision
Extracting an archive into the same directory on my custom filesystem more than once fails with the following message: Unable to finish expanding 'misc.tar.xz' into 'extractme'. Could not move 'misc' into destination directory. I.e. initial extraction succeeds with archive contents extracted into extractme/misc. Subsequent extraction fails to rename extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc to extractme/misc 2. This behaviour is observed on macOS Monterey and Ventura. It does work as expected on macOS Sonoma though. Dtrace(1)-ing the archive being extracted over smbfs results in the following sequence of calls being made: 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 nameiop:0 2 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 -> 2 ;ENOENT 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc nameiop:0x2 ;DELETE 2 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc -> 0 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 nameiop:0x3 ;RENAME 2 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme/misc 2 -> EJUSTRETURN 1 -> smbfs_vnop_rename AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc -> extractme/nil 2 <- smbfs_vnop_rename AUHelperService-2163 -> extractme.sb-db71cd27-lFjN1f/misc -> extractme/nil -> 0 2 -> smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> TheRooT/extractme/misc 2 nameiop:0 3 <- smbfs_vnop_lookup AUHelperService-2163 -> TheRooT/extractme/misc 2 -> 0 ;Successful lookup What I don't understand is what causes vnop_lookup to be called for misc to be removed from the temporary directory and renamed into 'misc 2' and placed in the destination directory, 'extractme' via vnop_rename? I had a look at smbfs_vnop_lookup and rename and didn't see anything that would cause 'misc 2' to come into being. Based on the output of the dtrace(1) script running on my custom filesystem, there are no vnop_lookup and vnop_rename calls being made to remove the 'misc' directory from the temporary directory and to rename it to 'misc 2' and place it in the destination directory at extractme. Archive extraction proceeds no further after extracting the archive contents into the temporary directory. What am I missing?

Journaling Suggestions is not available on iOS Simulator
Hey, when I try to run my project on an iOS Simulator, I get the following message: JournalingSuggestions is not available when building for iOS Simulator. and Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Steps to reproduce this behavior: Create a new Xcode project Add the Journaling Suggestions Capability Add the Journaling Suggestions Framework Under "Target > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries", select “optional“ for JournalingSuggestions.framework Under "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Debug" select „Plus“ and add „iOS or iOS Simulator“ and paste this -Xlinker -weak_framework -Xlinker JournalingSuggestions into the editable field. Do the same for "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Release" This tread is about the same problem, but is already checked as answered. That's why I'm creating this new tread. The last two bullet points are results from advice from the other thread. MacBook Air, M1, 2020, macOS: 14.6.1, Xcode: 16.0 Thanks for your help!

showallkexts fails with AttributeError 'MemMachO' has no attribute 'allow_unknown_load_commands'
I am running on Sequoia 15.1 24B83 with the appropriate KDK on both my host and target systems. I am trying to examine the target when it has crashed either due to triggering an NMI or causing a crash in my company's kext. I am not getting very far! I can attach from the host to the target. But I can't run any useful commands, starting with showallkexts. It shows up in the list of 'Current user-defined commands' but fails with the above attribute error when I try to run it. I get that same error trying to use other user-defined commands. I followed the host setup instructions in the KDK readme, but this traceback leads me to think I have overlooked something. If this is something folks have seen before, I would appreciate any guidance!

macOS System Extension Compatibility Issues
We’re encountering issues with a system extension that subscribes to multiple events. Some users are experiencing performance problems when running our extension alongside other system extensions like Microsoft Defender and Crowdstrike, which seem to generate a high volume of events. However, on certain Macs with an identical setup, there are no performance issues, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause. Has anyone found ways to improve compatibility with other system extensions? Currently, we’re ignoring and caching events from other extensions to avoid unnecessary processing. The specific ES events contributing to the issue seem to be: • ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_EXEC • ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_OPEN I realize this is a broad question, but the documentation for endpoint security extensions is quite limited. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

BLE Device Discovery Inconsistent Across iPhone Models with Same iOS Version
I'm encountering an issue where a specific BLE device (a Telematics Control Unit) is being discovered by some iPhone models but not others, all running the same iOS version (18.0.1). Here's the breakdown: Successful discovery: iPhone 11, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 6s No discovery: iPhone 13, iPhone 12 mini Firmware: The TCU firmware is up-to-date. BLE: Bluetooth is enabled on all devices. I've tried basic troubleshooting like restarting devices and resetting network settings, but the issue persists. Could this be related to differences in Bluetooth chipsets or antenna designs between iPhone models, even with the same iOS version? Are there any known compatibility issues between this TCU and specific iPhone models? Any insights or suggestions for further debugging issue would be greatly appreciated!

Directory NSFileWrapper does not update fileWrappers after removeItem
Hi, I encounter unexpected behavior from the FileWrapper updates that occurs when I remove file using FileManager.removeItem If I first remove a file from the directory, then create NSFileWrapper instance, I get unexpected values from calls to matchesContents(of:) import Foundation let copyURL = URL(filePath: "/Users/marcinkrzyzanowski/Downloads/filewrappertest.test/COPY.png") // THIS OPERATION BREAKS IT. REMOVE IT TO WORK AS EXPECTED try! FileManager().removeItem(at: copyURL) let dirURL = URL(filePath: "/Users/marcinkrzyzanowski/Downloads/filewrappertest.test") let fw = try FileWrapper(url: dirURL) fw.fileWrappers // ["IMG_0736.png"] try FileManager.default.copyItem(at: URL(filePath: "/Users/marcinkrzyzanowski/Downloads/filewrappertest.test/IMG_0736.png"), to: copyURL) fw.fileWrappers // ["IMG_0736.png"] fw.matchesContents(of: dirURL) // true (expected: false) try fw.read(from: dirURL) fw.fileWrappers! // ["COPY.png", "IMG_0736.png"] fw.matchesContents(of: dirURL) // true I don't understand why the "FileManager.removeItem" affects the NSFileWrapper behavior in such a way. It does not change even when I add a delay after removeItem. Any idea?

FSKit questions and clarifications
I work on EdenFS, an open-source Virtual Filesystem that runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. My team is very interested in using FSKit as the basis for EdenFS on macOS, but have found the documentation to be lacking and contains some mixed messaging on the future of FSKit. Below are a few questions that don’t seem to be fully covered by the current documentation: Does FSKit support process attribution? Each FUSE request provides a requester Process ID (and other information) through the fuse_in_header structure. Does FSKit pass similar information along for each request? Does the reclaimItem API function similarly to FUSE’s forget operation? If not, what are the differences? See #1 below for why forget/reclaimItem matters to us. Is Apple committed to releasing and supporting FSKit? Is there any timeline for release that we can plan around? Does FSKit have known performance/scalability limitations? We provide alternative methods that clients can use to make bulk requests to EdenFS, but some clients will necessarily be unable to use those and stress the default filesystem APIs. Throughput (on the order of tens of thousands of filesystem requests per minute) and request size are the main concerns, followed closely by directory size restrictions. Why we’re interested in FSKit As mentioned above, my team supports EdenFS on 3 platforms. On Linux, we utilize FUSE; on Windows, we utilize ProjectedFS; and on macOS, we’ve utilized a few different solutions in the past. We first utilized the macFUSE kext, which was great while it lasted. Due to (understandable) changes in supporting kernel extensions, we were forced to move to NFS version 3. NFS has been lackluster in comparison (and our initial investigations show that NFS version 4(.2) would be similar). We have had numerous scalability and reliability issues, some listed below: NFS does not provide a forget API similar to FUSE. EdenFS is forced to remember all file handles that have been loaded because the kernel never informs us when all references to that file handle have been dropped. We can hackily infer that a file handle should never be referenced again in some cases, but a large number of file handles end up being remembered forever. Many of our algorithms scale with the number of file handles that Eden has to consider, and therefore performance issues are inevitable after some time. NFS does not provide information about clients (requesters). We cannot tell which processes are sending EdenFS requests. This attribution is important due to issue #1. We are forced to work with tool owners to modify their applications to be VFS-friendly. If we can’t track down which tools are behaving poorly, they will continue to load excess file handles and cause performance issues. NFS “Server connections interrupted:” dialog during heavy load. Under heavy load, either EdenFS or system-wide, our users experience this dialog pop-up and are confused as to how they should respond (Ignore or Disconnect All). They become blocked in their work, and will be further blocked if they click “Disconnect All” as that unmounts their EdenFS mount. This forces them to restart EdenFS or reboot their laptop to remediate the issue. The above issues make us extremely motivated to use FSKit and partner with Apple to flesh out the final version of the FSKit API. Our use case likely mirrors what other user-space filesystems will be looking for in the FSKit API (albeit at a larger scale than most), and we’re willing to collaborate to work out any issues in the current FSKit offerings.

Delete the Documents path of the app
Delete the Documents path of the app Will the files or folders in the documentDirectory path or applicationSupportDirectory path disappear or be deleted when the OS is updated? I know that sometimes all the files in the cachesDirectory path are deleted when the OS is updated or the device is rebooted. Sometimes, users of my app report that all the files in the documentDirectory path or applicationSupportDirectory path are deleted or disappear, or all the files are deleted and initialized. I thought that the files or folders in the documentDirectory path or applicationSupportDirectory path were not affected by the OS update, but am I wrong?

When Connecting 9 BLE Devices To iPad 9th Generation, One Device Experiences Connection Failure.
It seems that the connection failure occurs when attempting to establish GATT connections with 9 BLE devices simultaneously. However, when connecting fewer than 8 or more than 10 devices, data can be received without issues. Upon investigation, the following points have been identified: This issue does not occur on iPad 10th generation. The iPad 9th generation uses Bluetooth 4.2, while the iPad 10th generation uses Bluetooth 5.0, so this difference might be the cause. The limitation is 9 devices per device, not per App. The issue occurs even when trying to connect 8 BLE devices with App 1 and 1 BLE device with App 2. It appears that the 9th device experiencing the connection failure is not receiving the result of the service discovery. According to the PacketLogger logs, the connection itself is established, but the service discovery results are not returned. When a 10th device is connected, the 9th device also connects successfully. Once the 10th device connects, the service discovery results for the 9th device are returned. The reproduction steps are as follows: Device: iPad 9th generation (iPadOS 17.6.1) Procedure: Prepare 9 BLE devices. Connect each BLE device to the iPad one by one. Data can be received from devices 1 through 8, but data cannot be received from the 9th device.

Hook for memory related APIs does not work
We hook the memory related APIs with ourselves' functions, like below: if ((malloc_get_all_zones(0, nullptr, reinterpret_cast<vm_address_t**>(&allZones), &numZones) == KERN_SUCCESS) && (numZones > 0) && (numZones > 0)) { if (allZones[0] == nullptr ) { return false; } trackZone = allZones[0] trackZone->malloc = &my_malloc; trackZone->calloc = &my_calloc; trackZone->valloc = &my_valloc; trackZone->memalign = &my_memalign; trackZone->free = &my_free; trackZone->free_definite_size = &my_free_definite_size; trackZone->try_free_default = &my_try_free_default; trackZone->realloc = &scf_realloc; } our functions are called when allocate memory with XCode15+MacOS14.6, but when we upgrade the compiling env to XCode16+MacOS15, it won't work any more.
