Unmounting/ejecting volumes in sandboxed mode
I've run across an unexpected and undocumented problem, and couldn't google anything on it. It seems that if an app is sandboxed, it is not permitted to eject disks or unmount volumes. I tried -[NSWorkspace unmountAndEjectDeviceAtPath:], FSUnmountVolumeAsync / FSEjectVolumeAsync, DADiskUnmount / DADiskEject but all I get is failure with a message like Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-47 The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -47.) (fBsyErr: File is busy (delete)) and in Console I see com.apple.SecurityServer[16]: Sandbox denied authorizing right 'system.volume.internal.unmount' by client … The system.volume.internal.unmount entitlement is not documented, and when I tried to add it to the list of entitlements, the app fails to start at all, saying not enough permissions. What's going on? Is there a way to eject/unmount disks in sandboxed mode? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

index beyond bounds when using a queue for a for-loop
Hi,
I'm trying to use a queue for a calculation intensive for-loop to make my iOS
app more responsive. The original for-loop works without errors:
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i count; i++)
{
myArray[i] = [self doCalculation: i];
}
When count gets too large, there is a delay when the results are shown on the
screen. So after reading through Apple's docs on concurrency, I implemented
the following replacement:
dispatch_queue_t queue =
dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
dispatch_apply(count, queue, ^(size_t i)
{
myArray[i] = [self doCalculation: i];
});
But after a few iterations, my app crashes because of:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '***
-[__NSArrayM setObject:atIndex:]: index 5 beyond bounds [0 .. 1]'
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '***
-[__NSArrayM setObject:atIndex:]: index 3 beyond bounds [0 .. 0]'
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '***
-[__NSArrayM setObject:atIndex:]: index 2 beyond bounds for empty array'
Any thoughts why this happens, and how to fix it?
Thanks,
- Koen.

NSMutableArray isn’t thread-safe. You’ll need to synchronize/serialize the
assignments somehow. You could do something like
{
id value = [self doCalculation: i];
@synchronized(myArray) {
myArray[i] = value;
}
}
although there is probably some nicer GCD API to do the same thing.

Core Data returns empty set
Hello, I am using Core Data to store a hierarchy of objects. These objects are displayed in an NSOutlineView and their names are used to populate a list of strings used in autocomplete. Once my window loads I can see the hierarchy of objects displayed but if I try to access them programmatically, Core Data returns an empty as soon as I get to the first one to many relationship. I have root, single node element, set of object and then each object in the set will also have a set of children. The list of objects is tiny, so far less than 100 and the outline view has no problems displaying them, so I wonder why can't I reach them programmatically. -- Rui Henriques Pacheco Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

I suspect there’s an additional complication. In your single-threaded case you
probably assumed that `i` increased uniformly and monotonically, so that
myArray[i] = foo always appended objects to the array. In a multithreaded
implementation this is no longer the case: there’s a race between different
values of `i`, so it’s entirely possible that you will try to, say, set the
object at index 3 before index 2. This will raise a range exception as you are
seeing.
There are at least two possible fixes.
First, since you know the array size in advance, you could do something like
pre-fill myArray with [NSNull null]. This would work around the range exception
by having your code replace objects rather than append new objects.
Second, you could switch from an array to an order-agnostic collection such as
a dictionary or set. NSPointerArray may also provide useful behavior.
Exactly which approach you take will depend on specifics about your application
and the problem you are solving.

Re: index beyond bounds when using a queue for a for-loop
Thanks for all the input. I solved it by using a straightforward C-array,
which I think also circumvents the scenario that Conrad describes about the
crash being caused by index 3 being set before index 2.
As it turns out, the time for the whole loop *decreased* by 5-10 fold by using
a dispatch_queue_t. So next I will look in the code that updates the GUI to see
where the bottleneck lies.

Major Xcode irritation
Has anyone else run into this? You open a system header from the SDK into XCode, and due to muscle-memory, absent-mindedness, reflex, lack of context or whatever, you hit cmd-S and save it over the old header (even if it hasn't actually been changed). XCode then refuses to build because the header file mod date no longer matches what was used when the precompiled headers were built. OK, so let's restore that file - oops, no backup because I don't typically back up apps, and the SDK is embedded in the app. OK, download a new SDK from Apple - you can't, the SDK is part of the Xcode download which is 1.6 GB, not a swift download in most people's books. Rebuild the precompiled headers? Probably a fair option, but it's not obvious how one even does that these days, assuming it's still possible (help?). Given that the SDK is embedded in the app, why on earth is it even allowed to overwrite a file there? Why do the permissions allow writing? Mysteries, mysteries... in the meantime I will have lost half a day's productivity just putting this stupid annoyance right. /Gripe If anyone could let me have a copy of NSEvent.h from the XCode 4.6.2 10.8 SDK with the mod date 10/4/2013 12:53AM that would save my sanity and my few remaining hairs - thanks! --Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: reverse scanner
I've come up with a couple of reasonably straight-forward solutions to my
problem, but first, thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. Even though I
didn't choose to use them, your willingness to make them is definitely
appreciated.
Here are my solutions (note that there are 2, one labelled attack from the
rear, the other labelled frontal attack). I won't claim that they have been
really thoroughly tested, but I have tried a variety of values for testString,
d, digitsPerAllele and alleles and both methods appear to work. If anyone sees
a problem or an improvements, please let me know. Right now, I favor the
frontal attack, which occurred to me in the middle of the night -- I seldom
have reason to use the % operator and so didn't think of it right away. Of
course, in actual use, I'll first take steps to separate the string that's
being processed into substrings, if the original string uses a ; (for
example) to separate allelic values, e.g. if the string being processed is
04;756;013.
NSString *testString = @0756013;
NSUInteger d = 3;
NSUInteger digitsPerAllele = d;
NSUInteger alleles = 3;
NSString *subString;
NSRange range;
int theInt;
// attack from the rear
int startOfRange = [testString length];
int length = d;
int i;
for (i = 0; i alleles; i++ ) {
startOfRange = startOfRange-d;
if (startOfRange 0) {
length = length + startOfRange; // note that startOfRange is
negative here
if (length = 0)
break;
startOfRange = 0;
d = length;
}
range.location = startOfRange;
range.length = d;
subString = [testString substringWithRange:range];
theInt = [subString intValue];
}
// frontal attack
testString = @04756013;
int remainder = [testString length] % digitsPerAllele;
range.location = 0;
range.length = remainder;
subString = [testString substringWithRange:range];
theInt = [subString intValue];
--alleles;
range.location = remainder;
range.length = digitsPerAllele;
for (i = 0; i alleles; i++ ) {
subString = [testString substringWithRange:range];
theInt = [subString intValue];
range.location += digitsPerAllele;
}

characters used to represent each number, but unfortunately, the first
character in the group of characters used to represent the first number can,
quite arbitrarily, be either a 0 or missing. For example, with the number of

0607, 06;07 (note the semicolon between 06 and 07) should all result in 6 and
7 being extracted as the two numerical values. Of course, I'd like to do
something simple, and were it not for the arbitrary inclusion of a leading 0,
it would be quite simple to use an instance of NSScanner. Or, if there were
such a beast as NSReverseScanner, it would also be relatively straight
forward, but so far as I'm aware, no such beast exists. I can think of a
couple of ways do accomplish this task, but if someone has already come up
with a clean way of scanning in reverse, I'd appreciate hearing from them.

Re: Dismissing Open dlog before doc actually opens
Steve,
Can you run an NSOpenPanel with a completion handler block, and in that block,
call a method on a background thread to actually perform the file read
operation?
As a test, I put this together. I called the selectAFile method and chose a 4GB
text file. The open panel was dismissed after about a second, the file read
completed after four seconds:
-(void)selectAFile
{
// Get and configure an open panel.
NSOpenPanel * myOpenPanel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
[myOpenPanel setCanChooseDirectories:NO];
[myOpenPanel setAllowedFileTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@txt]];
// Run the panel.
[myOpenPanel beginWithCompletionHandler:^(NSInteger result)
{
if (result==NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton)
{
// User clicked OK, do the actual file read in a background thread.
[self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(openAFileURL:)
withObject:myOpenPanel.URL];
}
}];
}
-(void)openAFileURL:(NSURL *)aFileURL
{
// Read the contents of the file at aFileURL into a string.
NSString * fileString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:aFileURL
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
// Log the result.
if (fileString) {
NSLog(@Successfully read file: %@, [aFileURL lastPathComponent]);
} else {
NSLog(@Could not load file: %@, [aFileURL lastPathComponent]);
}
}

How can we get rid of the Open dlog so it doesn't hang around while the document is being read? It's an incredibly annoying design. Are you using NSDocument? If so, return YES from +canConcurrentlyReadDocumentsOfType: to let NSDocumentController know it can initialize your document in the background. Then it will call -makeWindowControllers on the main thread. If you're running the NSOpenPanel yourself, just fire off your background work from its completion handler. --Kyle Sluder ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

That didn't make any difference here. Returning YES or NO from that appeared to have the same behavior, even if I selected 2 files in the Open dlog. Also, thread safety is a major concern. Oh, I think I see why it didn't make a difference. I'd forgotten that we are running the open dlog ourself, not using Cocoa's. I might look at using a completion handler.

Re: Unmounting/ejecting volumes in sandboxed mode
Further experiments show that some disks can be ejected under sandbox, while others cannot. For example, CD, USB sticks, DMGs and some external drives can be ejected/unmounted, while other external drives and internal partitions cannot. The rule isn't that simple and seems to have many exceptions. I've found that some other developers have discovered this to be a bug of sandbox and filed it to Apple which ostensibly agreed that was a bug but they haven't fixed it so far. Probably not. That seems like a pretty serious operation; I would not expect it to be available to sandboxed applications. With all respect, this sounds like again if Apple doesn't allow something, ergo you don't need it. There are many situations when apps may have legitimate needs to eject disks. If it requires a curated entitlement, Apple should have provided one. It is not a kind of case when an entitlement would be technically difficult or impossible to provide. So I tend to think it's a bug indeed.
