When Firefox starts on Big Sur, the following errors are logged:

This appears to be a problem for other apps that use the Touch Bar when they are built with an SDK less than the macOS 11 SDK: See this MacVim GitHub issue (resolution) and a thread about the Mac version of R.

Oh, it's because of the SDK! That makes sense.

Comment 2

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Is there some way we can hide these messages or only log them in debug builds? They are really spammy and it makes it difficult to spot other things being logged.

Comment 3

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

To avoid the messages in your own builds, you could build with the macOS 11 SDK locally.

Comment 4

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

I'm not sure if it's possible to hide those messages. I think the best fix is to move to the macOS 11 SDK and make it the required minimum SDK. We're currently looking at doing that somewhat soonish.

To avoid the messages in your own builds, you could build with the macOS 11 SDK locally.

That means not using artifact builds which would significantly slow down my work.

Comment 6

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

Ah, I missed that.

I found https://scottberrevoets.com/2016/08/01/silencing-nslog/ which could help here.

Comment 7

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Looks like this is solved with the new SDK.

Comment 8

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

Reopening because bug 1696504 got backed out.

Comment 9

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

Resolving because bug 1696504 got relanded.
