Comments closedmacOS 26 is in the wild, and many Xojo users have likely updated their Macs to the latest version. While Xojo 2025r2.1 is compatible and can build apps that run under the latest macOS, the Publish feature depends on certain tools provided by Xcode. Unfortunately, one of these tools has undergone a significant change in the latest Xcode release, causing the Publish feature to no longer function correctly.

Comments closedWhen adding a DesktopTextArea to your macOS app, just drag it from the Library into a Window (or Container) in the layout editor of the Xojo IDE.

Comments closedUsually, you only need to manage one Apple Developer Account when publishing your macOS or iOS apps. However, as many Xojo users have pointed out, there are situations where you need to work with multiple Apple Developer Accounts – perhaps you are publishing macOS apps for different companies (with different Team IDs). So, how do you handle this using the App Specific Password setup introduced in Xojo 2025r1?
Comments closedThe Keychain is a system-wide feature on macOS that securely stores account passwords for applications. Until Xojo 2025r1, updating the password for an existing KeychainItem—that is, for a given Service Name—required first removing the item from the Keychain and then recreating it from scratch. Not exactly the most efficient process. But with the introduction of the KeychainItem.UpdatePassword method in 2025r1, things have gotten much easier. Read on to see how you can take advantage of this new functionality.
Comments closedStarting with Xojo 2025r1, a new Property List Editor is available for both Desktop (macOS) and iOS projects under Build Settings > macOS and Build Settings > iOS. This editor simplifies the process of adding custom entries that your app may require, beyond those automatically included by Xojo.
