Jim Rea on Nostr: I don't see how a #wwdc23 lab session could possibly go any better than mine did ...
I don't see how a #wwdc23 lab session could possibly go any better than mine did today. The new menu system in Sonoma caused some weird behavior in my app - even the Apple menu doesn’t work correctly when Panorama is active. I submitted a lab appointment request with a paragraph describing the problem. The lab session started with the engineer saying “I took the liberty of downloading your app (of course I was hoping for that), I already duplicated the problem, filed a Feedback, and fixed the problem.” Ka-ching! So we spent the entire 30 minutes chatting, mostly about what it’s been like to be an Apple developer for 40 years, about how cool it was that he got to rewrite NSMenu in AppKit, and about a component of macOS that is still implemented in Carbon even now (Event Manager). Phil Z, you rock! 🥳
