Hi guys,
I'm developing a FinderSync Extension that extends Finder contextual menu with a couple of items doing some trivial file operations.
I'm using Xcode 16.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.3.2
I could run the containing app in debug, and in System Preferences -> File Providers the flag is enabled for my app finder extension.
Anyway, the contextual menu does not show in Finder, probably because the finder extension crashes immediately.
Some output:
pluginkit -m | grep "com\.[^a]"
+ com.mycompany.MyApp.MyAppFinderExtension(1.1.14)

The log is showing something very strange:
log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "com.mycompany.MyApp" and messageType = error' --last 1h
Filtering the log data using "composedMessage CONTAINS "com.mycompany.MyApp" AND logType == 16"
Skipping info and debug messages, pass --info and/or --debug to include.

Especially the first line: MyApp is not accessing coreaudiod - neither trying to get a ScreenCapture, so ... WTF???
How is it possibile? Why is the system blocking MyApp FinderExtension, or preventing it to run?
Thank you in advance
