If what you say is correct then everyone would be seeing a delay since most people don’t have blazing fast internet connections. I do not think this is the normal behavior. I think it is specific to your system, otherwise there would be TONS of people complaining about slowness. A couple second delay opening a file or app like you describe would be all over the internet. I don’t remember from your previous emails on this subject, but did you try creating a new partition and installing a fresh OS with a brand new user on it (nothing migrated) to see if the problem reproduced? That would be an interesting data point.
Either way, did you file a bug with a sysdiagnose taken during the delay? If so, do you have the bug number? Something like this doesn’t get fixed if you don’t report it. Sending an email to a developer mailing list doesn’t count. Just sayin’... —Rob > On Apr 22, 2020, at 11:16 PM, Allan Odgaard via Cocoa-dev > <cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com> wrote: > > On 20 Apr 2020, at 0:11, Allan Odgaard via Cocoa-dev wrote: > >> Unfortunately though I can’t figure out *what* the problem is; running >> `tccutil reset All` (and rebooting) did not fix it. > > It appears the problem is not with a local service, but that Apple actually > “phones home” when a program asks for display name. > > I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but with notarization, Apple now > validates executables on your system before they are executed, and it does so > in calls like execve(), where it will actually stall execution, contact > Apple’s servers, and then proceed once the executable got validated. > > I *thought* this was the only place it did it, and that the result got cached > (based on inode). > > But it seems Apple added this to other places, because since I have upgraded > to macOS 10.15, I see *many* delays. > > This is because I am currently in South East Asia where the connection to > Apple’s servers is not good. > > For example I have a script that takes a video file as argument, it launches > VLC with this video file, and then deletes the file when VLC terminates. > > It can take more than 5 seconds just until VLC is launched, and then VLC will > be “thinking” for another 5 seconds, before the video actually starts. > > Today the delays were extra bad, so it was easy to reproduce the VLC issue, > obtaining display name (which today took 7 seconds for 3 names), and a few > other things. > > Now, if I disable internet, no delays at all!!! > > Enable it again, and all the delays are back. > > It is so utterly frustrating that Apple is not only going down this path of > locking down our machines, but they do it in ways that are so crippling for > our productivity :( > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/petrock%40mac.com > > This email sent to petr...@mac.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
