Freezing on macOS Monterey about reminders-menubar

[DamascenoRafael]

@pie6k, @chriswmartin , @alicerunsonfedora, @twenrut
New release v1.6.0 should resolve this issue. Sorry for taking so long.
Please let me know if something doesn't work as expected.

Ok, I tried your code changes.

I did build it natively (M1 mac) and it did not run (with error 'could not attach to process PID: ').

Then I tried Rosetta build and it worked and built, but then crashed:

extension NSTextField {
    open override var focusRingType: NSFocusRingType {
        get { .none }
        set { self.focusRingType = newValue } // <—- error here `Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0x304989ff8)`
    }
}

[update]

After also commenting out this extension - it started to work (in Rosetta build, no native M1 build)

I am unsure if there's been an update to address this, but I can confirm that this is still an issue with the latest Monterey dev beta (21A5294g).

I still can't figure out what causes this error.
In Big Sur, even in Xcode 13 beta there is no problem.
The error would be as if ".environmentObject(remindersData)" was not present.
Maybe creating a SceneDelegate can help, but it still feels weird.

The error would be as if ".environmentObject(remindersData)" was not present.

Is it possible that this method is deprecated in favor of something else? I've never seen this before with SwiftUI.

still persists

still persists

I don't believe the issue has been resolved as of yet. I haven't seen a release update to fix this yet.

Hey, @chriswmartin , @alicerunsonfedora, @twenrut.
Since I'm not using macOS Monterey yet, could one of you run some tests?

1. In AppDelegate.swift remove the @NSApplicationMain annotation and add @main instead.

2. If it doesn't work and the error continues: remove the @main annotation from the AppDelegate class and above that declaration add the code below:

   @main
   struct RemindersMenuBar: App {
       @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate
       
       var body: some Scene {
           Settings {
               EmptyView()
           }
       }
   }

   In the AppDelegate class make the following changes:

     let popover = NSPopover()
   - let statusBarItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
   + var statusBarItem: NSStatusItem!

     private func configureMenuBarButton() {
   +     statusBarItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
         statusBarItem.button?.image = NSImage(systemSymbolName: "list.bullet", accessibilityDescription: nil)
         statusBarItem.button?.imagePosition = .imageLeading
         statusBarItem.button?.action = #selector(togglePopover)
     }

Please let me know if 1 or 2 fixed the problem or changed the initial error.

I am not able to test the code you provided, but it indeed freezes for me as well.

When I open the app - it shows up in menu bar with count number of reminders, but as soon as I click it - it freezes, shows spinner mouse cursor and CPU is at 100%

Thanks for the help @pie6k.
I just updated to macOS Monterey Beta and I'm verifying it.
This extension has no effect in Monterey but is important in Big Sur.
Removing the set from this property seems to solve the problem.

Closing this issue since everything seems to be ok :)
New version 1.6.1 fixes another bug on macOS Monterey.
