fix: Setting window fails to appear front

[phlpsong]

#382

Introduce one new package: https://github.com/orchetect/SettingsAccess

This workaround does nothing if running from Xcode, but running as a standalone app it will work according to doc.

But it seems to work well both from Xcode build or archive based on my test.

Is it fixed in macOS 13.0? It seems only affect macOS 14.0+.

Yes, I thought it only affects on macOS 14.0+ using SettingLink.

I think NSApp.activate(ignoringOtherApps: true) should work on macOS 13 too, could you have a try if you're using macOS 13?

I do not use macOS 13 currently. Any other one can help?

I can setup a virtual machine later

I'll check the release mode only since it's too complicated to set up Xcode from gound up.

The issue still exists on macOS 13

I tested it on a macOS 13.6 VM

macOS.13.6.mov

The workaround is working on a macOS 14.4 beta 1 VM, I can see there's a workaround going, but it's pretty stable.

macOS.14.4.beta.1.mov

I just push a new commit to apply NSApp.activate(ignoringOtherApps: true) below macOS 14.

Could u give it a try?

[Jerry23011]

Yep! Now it works on 13.6

Much appreciated!

I tested this code, it works.

So, is this a bug in the use of SettingsLink in SwiftUI? 🤔

It can be said that Apple does not provide extra interfaces for SettingsLink to let us control the activation of window.

Oh, I see.
