You are selling your app on your own site? If not, now is the time to seriously look into it.
Yes it can be patched, but it would help if Xojo can explain what functions call this API, otherwise you can test it and it never fires, but it causes the application to crash on customer machines.[quote=497802:@Tim Parnell]Cute, sounds like no Xojo built app can be submitted.

Well it is merging into the iOS App Store soon, so maybe they don’t want Mac Apps there anymore?
If Xojo can tell me how this is used (maybe it’s not even used), so we can all know what to expect, I could patch it in a App Wrapper update.
Feedback case status became “Fixed & verified” but still attached to Xojo 2020r1 release…
As 2020r1 release date is unknown I’m afraid it will take some time.
I requested the case to be re-opened, moved to 2019r3.2 (and made public) and suggested a quick 2019r3.3.
It was ignored or discarded, but who am I to ask …
There are a pile of sections in the header
Most visible of you just drop the Xojo binary onto a good hex editor
Only Xojo knows whats in that, why they use that private API instead of a sanctioned one etc
But the feedback case about it is marked fixed
would be nice if they could put it in a 2019r3.3 for this sudden change from Apple since I doubt anyone realized they were using a private API by building an app with Xojo
and Big Sur or Apple Silicon are not public yet while submission to the App Store is a very actual issue.
I ran a search in iOS app build and it also contains the offending _getsectiondata.
I’ve open a new forum thread in iOS channel to see if people there have the same problem.
The only answer you’ll get if from Geoff is telling you that you’re prohibited from patching their code, no matter what. Happened before, more than once
If the issue being discussed here comes from Apple having “suddenly” marked an API as no longer accepted for submission, then I would not expect nor blame Xojo to not make a new fast build each time Apple make some whim…
