NSSharingService creates "frozen" modal window for CKShare

I'm trying to present info about a CKShare to a user. You can do this as follows:

let container: CKContainer = /* existing CKContainer */
let share: CKShare = /* existing CKShare */

let item = NSItemProvider()
item.registerCloudKitShare(share, container: container)

let sharingService = NSSharingService(named: .cloudSharing)
sharingService.perform(withItems: [item])

This correctly opens the window:

ckshare-window

However, I cannot click anything in the window, and after closing the window I cannot click anything in my app.

EDIT: after further investigation, I realized I can navigate the UI using the keyboard. However, it is still quite buggy (triggering Done or pressing esc dismisses the view controller but doesn't close the window, and throws an NSInternalInconsistencyException)

The stack trace (below) shows that the main thread is waiting for events in the modal event loop:

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Solution

  • Had the same problem in an Objective-C project and found I needed to use the NSSharingServiceDelegate method to return the source Window.

    - (NSWindow *)sharingService:(NSSharingService *)sharingService sourceWindowForShareItems:(NSArray *)items sharingContentScope:(NSSharingContentScope *)sharingContentScope{

    return self.view.window;

}

    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nssharingservicedelegate/1402679-sharingservice

    [NSSharingService performWithItems:NSArrayOfItems]; on the main thread would then present a sheet that functions correctly.

    If from the owners privateCloudDatabase you would be presented all participants with sharing options, and like your screenshot, reduced participant options including ‘Remove Me’ if the shared record resides in the sharedCloudDatabase.
