    Project mention: How to log only in debug mode? including network logs | /r/iOSProgramming | 2022-11-26

    Does anyone have experience with this? I've seen people mentioning to use Cocoalumberjack but not sure if its the right package (meaning if its not overkill). Apple have an open source logging library as well for this.

    Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes and devices in use by all running processes. Nice GUI for lsof.

    Project mention: Why can't MacOS just TELL ME which program is using the drive I'm trying to eject rather than just have me guess? | /r/MacOS | 2023-07-05

    That said, after I learned about how to use lsof, I found this little free app called =Sloth (and its github page ), which is just a nice native Mac app serving as a GUI for lsof. It'll let you know exactly which process to quit or kill so your drive can eject happily.

    Project mention: Does slack desktop go offline when the user is inactive for 30 mins? | /r/Slack | 2023-09-13

    Hi, I have been using slack on my company provided mac and I have installed https://keepingyouawake.app/ to keep my macbook awake indefinitely. When I keep the slack application open for so many hours, I can still see the green dot on slack and it has never marked me as 'away'. So, I'm wondering if others can see me as 'online' if the green bubble is showing up on my slack application for so many hours?

    Project mention: why is UIKit much harder than SwiftUI? | /r/iOSProgramming | 2022-12-24

    Those of you that prefer UIKit, are you defining layouts programmatically? If so, do you use other tools like Injection to help ease this process?

  • plcrashreporter

    Have you tried PLCrashReporter? I haven't tried it on watchOS but it's worth a shot. You'll have to upload the reports to your server manually.

  • Platypus

    Create native Mac applications from command line scripts.

    Project mention: Application-Specific Terminals | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

    > Which apps do you use actually it for?

    neovim, mutt, tig, weechat

    > That's what aliases are for (or you could rename the binary?)!

    Unfortunately, it's not that simple on macOS for app bundles. The human readable name of the app bundle really doesn't matter that much to the operating system -- it's the contents of Info.plist that matter. In order to have a separate app that can be Cmd+Tab'd to, you have to have a separate app bundle, separate app bundle identifier, etc. There's really not a way around it on macOS that I've seen.

    (And to be clear, aliases do work on the command line. I'm talking specifically about GUI apps - which is my primary method of separating my different activities. Terminal emulator tabs are not good enough.)

    This also doesn't solve the performance problems with any of the various GUI applications, nor does it solve my problem for other applications that I want to run.

    > By the way, do you know the app https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Platypus that can generate app bundles on a Mac?

    I do! I tried this route first, but it falls apart when you start a GUI application from the script that you supply to platypus. If your script is e.g. `wezterm start`, it'll just start up another instance of a wezterm-branded GUI app in addition to the wrapper app that Platypus spits out.
