> Apple makes it difficult to develop for macOS because they keep breaking APIs with each update.

Like what



Every macOS release breaks a few things, but to be honest it's not much of an issue.

Here are some recent things that required code changes from developers:

- disabling user interaction when trying to request items from the keychain

- views no longer clipping to bounds by default

- installing login items and background services

The latter two were understandable, because they were caused by new features, but some are just caused by a lack of testing.

It's not a big deal, and I'm sure Electron apps have similar issues, but app developers do have to put in some work to make sure their apps keep working properly on macOS.


Ask the developer of BetterDummy (aka BetterDisplay).
