Hi guys, How to achieve the following feature on macOS when a USB device (Camera/Mic/Speaker) is connected: When a third-party video conferencing app is not in a meeting, ensure the app defaults to using the USB device (Camera/Mic/Speaker). When a third-party conferencing app is in a meeting, ensure the app automatically switches to the USB device (Camera/Mic/Speaker). I want to make use of IOKit extension to hidden or ignore build-in camera to realize the requirement. however the extension can't be loaded for Invalid permissions in MacOS 15.4.1, buildVersion:24E263. I also tried to run in in MacOS 14.4.1, which can be loaded but can't auto load when restart laptop as KDK version not match. Could you please give me some suggestion? Is it possible hidden build-in camera in MacOS M-series chip? Is there any other method to realize the feature. Thanks a lot.

Where can I find the documentation of the Genlock feature of the iPhone 17 Pro? How does it work and how can I use it in my app?

I'm getting an error writing a ciImage as a heif image: // Create CIImage directly from pixel buffer let ciImage = CIImage(cvPixelBuffer: pixelBuffer, options: [CIImageOption.properties: combinedMetadata]) // Write HEIC synchronously do { try ciContext.writeHEIFRepresentation(of: ciImage, to: url, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: colorSpace) The error I'm getting is: Error Domain=CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey Code=3 "(null)" UserInfo={CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey=failed to write HEIC data to file., NSUnderlyingError=0x11b1a1ec0 {Error Domain=CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey Code=10 "(null)" UserInfo={CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey=failed to add image to the PhotoCompressionSession.}}} Both try ciContext.writeJPEGRepresentation(of: copiedCIImage, to: url, colorSpace: colorSpace, options: options) and try ciContext.writePNGRepresentation(of: copiedCIImage, to: url, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: colorSpace) work. I also verified that the code works with iOS 18. Is there something new we need to do for Heif images? Thanks in advance

So I've spent the last five years optimizing my video AI system so that it runs with less than 5% CPU while processing a 30fps video feed on a Macbook Pro M2, and everything is great, until Sonoma comes out, and I find myself consuming 40% CPU for the exact same workload. So I fire up Instruments, and the "heaviest stack trace" (see screenshot) turns out to be Espresso doing some completely unasked-for and absolutely useless processing on my video frames. I turn off Reactions, but nothing helps - the CPU consumptions stays at 40%. "Reactions" is nothing but a useless toy to please some WWDC keynote fanboys, I don't want it anywhere near my app or my users, and I especially do not want to take the blame for it pissing away the user's CPU cycles and battery. Now, how do I make it go away, for ever? Best regards Jacob
