He has had to work around this problem in his TinkerTool app version 6.2. Network Directory Service – macOS hangs for seven minutesĪccording to Marcel Bresink, if an app asks macOS Mojave for a complete list of group accounts on a system which uses a network directory service, this can hang macOS for a period of seven (yes, 7) minutes. This apparently only applies to hardened apps those which run in a sandbox, as do all supplied from the App Store, cannot exploit this vulnerability. This is effective in all versions of Mojave, including 10.14.3 with the Supplemental Update installed. He has disclosed this to Apple, but has not provided further public information. Jeff Johnson, developer of StopTheMadness and Underpass, has discovered a means by which apps with a hardened runtime enabled, in other words any notarized app, can access the protected folder ~/Library/Safari without any restrictions being applied by Mojave’s privacy protection. Privacy protection – free access to ~/Library/Safari Until their list is complete, which could be well into 2019, users will find 32-bitCheck far more reliable for informing them which apps and other software are 32-bit. Those warnings now occur more frequently, but are still far from complete or comprehensive.

MacOS seems to be building this list as and when macOS warns the user that each specific 32-bit app needs to be replaced. Use 32-bitCheck (from Downloads above) instead. The information given about ‘legacy software’ in System Information is incomplete and misleading. System Information – Legacy Software misleading It has been reported to Apple, but remains unfixed. This bug also affects Bookmark-based aliases created by alisma, and is discussed in full detail here. Trying this with an orphaned Finder Alias to a file, rather than a folder, doesn’t cause the Finder to hang, but to display the normal dialog offering to delete or fix the alias, as it should. The only way ahead is to press Command-Option-Escape and force the Finder to restart. In a Column view, if you try to open or even just preview a Finder Alias to a folder which now no longer exists, the Finder hangs with a spinning beachball.

This article lists bugs which you and I have encountered in macOS Mojave 10.14.3 itself, rather than issues in specific third-party applications and other software.
