On iOS 11 the icon on the dock is grayed out and not clickable after the install when I first open it. If I delete the icon from recent on iPad dock and open the app again the icon appears to be fine.
The icon is fine on home screen but grayed out on the recent dock?
It happens when every time no matter the source of installation, Xcode, app store or test-flight
Rebooting the device (either between uninstall and reinstall, or while the icon is gray) fixes the icon
I had the exact same issue. Here is my StackOverflow post's answer: What causes iOS 11 iPad recent apps dock icon to be grayed out?
I feel that this is an iOS 11 bug, as I was able to replicate the behavior with the Google Play Music app.
I have also experienced some other weird glitches related to the "Recent apps" section of the dock on iOS 11 on iPad. Sometimes the hand-off safari icon will be positioned half outside of the dock. Another time an app icon was greyed out and still present after I had deleted the app, I was able to grab the icon and drop it on my home screen (only a reboot removed the icon as long pressing on the icon made it jiggle, but no "X" appeared).
Here is the screenshot that I have posted in my answer showing that Google Play Music's app had the same issue.

I was wondering how to open the simulator on the same screen as Xcode. I've seen it done on the IOS bootcamp on Udemy, when simulator is opened it pops up on the same screen as Xcode as shown here does anyone know how to achieve this result?
Ive managed already to get the simulator to be in the same screen but its next to it in a different window like so.
Hello and welcome to Stack Overflow! Looking over your desired result and the screenshot labeled as undesirable, it appears that you only need to ensure the Simulator is the active element on your screen and select the Window menu at the top of the screen and select Stay on Top.
so I wanted to switch between projects in VSC on my MacBook Air (macOS Monterey) so, like usual, I went for a top bar, selected File, chose Open Folder. But then the Finder window that was prompted stopped responding for my touchpad clicks. It does respond when I try to crawl through folders with my keyboard but at the end I can't choose the folder to open. Any advice?
I'm also experiencing the same issue on my M1 Mac on OS Monterey 20.6 in other applications as well as VS Code. The only solution I found is the workaround posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253580300
Simply adjust the Finder window size by hovering the mouse over the corner/edge of the window then click & drag. This then makes the Finder window responsive to mouse clicks.
When i pin my app to the taskbar, I don't see the jumplist when the app is to running.
Jumplist: recently opened files that show up when you right click on a taskbar icon in windows 7.
When I run the app, a new taskbar icon opens, instead of the same icon. The jumplist shows up on the running icon, but not on the pinned icon.
Here are the things I have done..
SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID
added the registry items for the file type.
Jumplist works fine when the app is running. Except that jumplist does not show up on the pinned icon.
My questions are:
how do I show the jumplist when the app is not running? or why is it not working? Is it a different registry entry?
Why is windows creating a new taskbar icon, instead of opening on the same pinned icon. (I don't change the AppUserModelID)?
So far the only working solution I have found is to use:
[NSApp setApplicationIconImage: myImage];
But this message is sent after the default icon is already in the dock, so it's not working: the icon is initially set to the default application icon. I have not found the correct place to send this message.
I have read this: How can I set the icon for a Mac Application in Xcode? but it seems a bit too old to be useful for XCode 4.3
What is the standard way to set the dock icon, and even more importantly, where in the documentation is this described ?
I have trashed 4.3 two days ago, so I am using 4.5 developer preview to explain, but it should be similar.
Open up you project
In the left inspector be sure you are in the project navigator
Click the top node which should be named like your project
The middel section should now show some summaries of your project
Click on your Project name under "Targets"
The middle section should now show some Tabs, get on "Summary"
Drag your Icon file to the App Icon field.
Hope that helps.
I have been using Xcode 4.3.3 for a few days on my retina mac (Lion, of course). At work I always have my Xcode window on a Cinema Display and have never experienced any problems. However, I threw an Xcode window onto the pro's display and tried to resize the debug bar - Xcode hangs. 99-100% CPU and the cursor turns into the rainbow wheel of death. I tried deleting everything in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData because that has cleared up all of my issues with Xcode in the past, but that's a no go. I want to do some iOS development when I am not at work, but this makes it pretty hard to do since I don't have a cinema display or other monitor at home.
Here's the sample from the Activity Monitor:

I figured it out. By default, Apple opens Xcode in a resolution optimized for the Retina Display. You can force XCode (or any other application) to open with a lower resolution by doing the following:
Quit the application if it is currently open.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
In the Applications folder that opens, click the application's icon so it is highlighted.
Choose Get Info from the File menu.
Place a checkmark next to "Open in Low Resolution" to enable Low Resolution mode.
Close the window and double click the Application to reopen it.
And it works!
