There was some discussion of this on stack overflow but one of the APIs there
is deprecated: LSSharedFileListItemResolve.
It’s 3rd parameter takes a pointer to a CFURLRef and that is now deprecated.
Instead, use LSSharedFileListItemCopyResolveURL; basically the return value
from this is what you want.
Deprecated:
if( LSSharedFileListItemResolve( itemRef , 0 , (CFURLRef*) &thePath ,
NULL ) == NoErr )
Accepted:
thePath = LSSharedFileListItemCopyResolveURL( itemRef, 0 , NULL)
if( thePath )
It looks to me like this was done to have a single API for both Swift and Obj-C
for less maintenance (makes sense).
