Presenting NSViewController in MacOS app works fine until I archive the build

After an App Store rejection for a MacOS app, i've come across a very strange thing happening. I have an NSViewController in my storyboard with a storyboardID set. I call this from a button with the following code:

NSViewController *loginViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateControllerWithIdentifier:@"login"];
[self presentViewControllerAsSheet:loginViewController];

Pretty basic and it works great, however when I Archive the app and distribute the app from Xcode Organizer, the presentation never happens.

It doesn't matter if I distribute the app with our without signing. Following the system logs, I can see that the loginViewController is a valid object but it's followed by 2 lines that simply say <private>

enter image description here

I've tried changing the code to:

[self presentViewControllerAsModalWindow:loginViewController];

and i've also tried using a storyboard segue but the same thing happens.

Has anyone encountered this before?

  • To reveal private redacted log message within Console.app one can use command:

    sudo log config --mode "private_data:on"
