aydenp / focusplsnobadges Goto Github PK

So you know its running, and maybe the current state

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new focus mode on iOS with ‘Hide Notification Badges’ option disabled. The app is behaving correctly.
2. Enable the ‘Hide Notification Badges’ option on iOS on that focus mode. The app noticed this and correctly turn off badges on mac os.
3. Disable the ‘Hide Notification Badges’ option on iOS on that focus mode. The app is reading incorrect value, it is not able to turn on the notification badges. Trying to switching between the other focus modes and still not reading the correct value.

iOS 15.6.1
Mac Os 12.4

I don't like that we have a timer running every second. Is there a way to observe these changes, such as NSDistributedNotificationCenter?

Maybe some light UI that modifies the Focus mode settings. I could see there being some issues with the system overwriting us if we do this the wrong way.

I've noticed that the Apple Reminders app is unusually slow when FocusPlsNoBadges is active and when there's a suppressed badge notification.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Apple Reminders
2. Ensure a notification badge is displayed, by having an item "Overdue" or "Due Today"
3. Begin a FocusPlsNoBadges session
4. Reminders takes several seconds to respond per action
5. Complete the overdue item, so that no badge would normally be displayed
6. After a few seconds, Reminders begins to operate normally, with low latency between each action

It seems the suppression of the badges affects the performance of this application. Please let me know how I can provide logs to better diagnose the issue, thanks!

Building the project on Sonoma 14.0, I get the following error:

FocusPlsNoBadges/ModelFiles+Current.swift:15: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file “Assertions.json” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Users/benwalker/Library/DoNotDisturb/DB/Assertions.json, NSUnderlyingError=0x600003f2c000 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted"}}

I'm not sure if this is a global problem or just one on my local machine. I've tried changing the file's permissions but nothing's been working. Feel free to close this immediately if it's not reproducible.

Thanks!

Manageable from the menu in #3

Currently the App crashes when trying to access "Assertions.json".

This is fixed though by providing the App Full Disk Access.

Generally I think the app would benefit from a minimal User Interface (like a menu bar service)

Thanks for the work on this cool workaround!

Just a suggestion - maybe update the readme to clarify a couple of things:

1. Full disk access must be granted in order to successfully build.

2. If user is unable to export a .app of the archive from Xcode; the .app file can also be found within the .xcarchive file itself (right click>Show Package Contents>Products)

So building in Xcode isn't necessary for people that just want to run it
