I like to find a way to identify network volumes, and whether they're run by certain servers, e.g. specifically whether they're on a Synology NAS. Reason is that Synology, while apparently supporting the Spotlight-over-SMB API, comes with a lot of bugs, requiring me to work around them when searching on those volumes with the macOS Spotlight API. I could, of course, ask the user to "configure" each mounted volume in my software, but I'd rather do this automagically, if possible, as it's less prone to user mistakes. So, my question is: Is there a way to learn a bit more about the server of a mounted network volume? E.g., if I could learn its IP address, I could try to connect to it via http protocol and then maybe get a useful response that identifies it as being from Synology. Or, alternatively, can I tell which SMB volumes are served by a Mac, so that I can at least assume that those handle Spotlight calls correctly, while I assume anything else is buggy (so far, AFAIK, Synology is the only other SMB server that supports Spotlight search). I've tried to find some data in the IORegistry, but that doesn't seem to store anything about network vols. The statfs function doesn't seem to give me anything for that either, nor do the various fcntl calls as far as I could tell. I also checked with the DA apis, e.g.: DASessionRef daSession = DASessionCreate (NULL); CFURLRef furl = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(NULL, CFSTR("/Volumes/TheNAS"), kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, true); DADiskRef daDisk = DADiskCreateFromVolumePath (NULL, daSession, furl); if (daDisk) { CFDictionaryRef daInfo = DADiskCopyDescription (daDisk); NSLog(@"%@", daInfo); } However, this only prints basic information: DAVolumeKind = smbfs; DAVolumeMountable = 1; DAVolumeName = TheNAS; DAVolumeNetwork = 1; DAVolumePath = "file:///Volumes/TheNAS/"; Where, then, does Finder's "Get Info" get the smb path from, for example?

Hi, in the current Beta 2 of MacOS 14.2 the spotlight search is always disappearing after having put in at least one letter after about 1 second.

Content indexed through CSSearchableIndex.default().indexSearchableItems() is no longer searchable from Spotlight. I created a very small app to demonstrate this. CSSearchableIndex.default().indexSearchableItems() returned no error, yet the result can't be found. import CoreSpotlight import SwiftUI @main struct testspotlightApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .onContinueUserActivity(CSSearchableItemActionType, perform: handleSpotlight) } } func handleSpotlight(_ userActivity: NSUserActivity) { print("Found \(userActivity.userInfo?.debugDescription ?? "nothing")") } } import CoreSpotlight import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var result = "" var body: some View { VStack { Text("Hello!") Button { let attribute = CSSearchableItemAttributeSet(contentType: .text) attribute.title = "a page title" attribute.contentDescription = "hello this is a page" attribute.keywords = ["search", "this", "page", "title"] let item = CSSearchableItem( uniqueIdentifier: "12345", domainIdentifier: "com.test", attributeSet: attribute) CSSearchableIndex.default().indexSearchableItems([item]) { error in if let error { result = "Failed to index: \(error.localizedDescription)" } else { result = "Successefully indexed to spotlight. Try searching 'a page title'" } } } label: { Text("Index a page").font(.title) } Text(result).multilineTextAlignment(.center) } .padding() } } Has anyone else seen the same issue?

I was wondering if it was possible to get Universal Deep Linking working with redirects that open up Safari first. I've successfully gotten deep linking to work when doing a normal link to the site, but when it is behind a link that is created by a marketing company, that link opens up Safari first, then opens the mobile web browser and not the app itself.Is it possible to go from a redirect in Safari to the app?

I'm working on creating App Shortcuts for my app to show up in the Shortcuts app and Spotlight. One new feature this year is the option to add your apps tint color as a background, but I'm not able to get this to work. I have added the items NSAppIconActionTintColorName (String) and NSAppIconComplementingColorNames (Array?) to my info.plist file that where briefly mentioned in the WWDC23 video, but they don't seem to have any effect. Has anyone got these to work in their project?
