tl;dr
I'm trying to get the FruitBasket demo to operate (Synchronizing files using file provider extensions | Apple Developer Documentation) on Sonoma 14.1.2. I'm probably being stupid about something but It doesn't work as I expect so would welcome any suggestions.
Details
- I downloaded the FruitBasket demo code
- I attempted to carefully follow the README and replace all instances of
group.com.example.apple-samplecode.FruitBasket - I built and ran and created a domain
My new domain appears in the Finder side-bar. It appears as a directory in ~Library/CloudStorage/. But attempting to (e.g.) ls ~/Library/CloudStorage/* gives me an ETIMEDOUT error and the Finder says something similar.
Things that I observed:
- once a domain exists, there is indeed a
Providerexecutable running. - it never generates any log messages
- attaching the Xcode debugger to it and setting some seemingly likely to be invoked breakpoints (e.g.
Extension.Extension.enumerator) never hit the breakpoints. - my naïve take on the disassembly when pausing it suggests that it's waiting for incoming Mach messages. (That seemed sensible.)
- FruitBasket starts with an error:
Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x6000039853b0> (Domain group.org.liqui.apple-samplecode.FruitBasket, User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd
Questions
- Does the above error suggest that I have set the group value wrong somewhere?
- Maybe
Extension+Servicing.swift:21defining theNSFileProviderServiceName("com.example.FruitService")is mismatched somewhere?
