This OS is the worst in years. None of the updates even fix any of the counltess bugs. Can't wait for whatever the next one is to just have this lame ass OS over with.
Still messing in Logic Pro with Oeksound plugins since three weeks ago. Rosetta, oh Rosetta! What I would do without you!To Devs today

StoreKit
New Features
- productDescriptionHidden(_ API can be used to configure the visibility of product descriptions in ProductView, StoreView and SubscriptionStoreView instances within a view hierarchy. When building with Xcode 15.3, the view modifier can be used even if your app is running on iOS 17.0, iPadOS 17.0, macOS 14.0, tvOS 17.0, watchOS 10.0, visionOS 1.0, or later.
When implementing a product view style, it can support this new view modifier by checking the descriptionVisibility property on the configuration value. (110414819) (FB12261973)- You can use SubscriptionStoreView to present promotional offers by adding the subscriptionPromotionalOffer(offer:signature modifier.
If you’re already using inAppPurchaseOptions(_ modifier to support promotional offers for StoreKit views, you should adopt the new API instead when your app is running on iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, tvOS 17.4, watchOS 10.4, visionOS 1.1 or later. Do not use both APIs to apply a promotional offer for the same view. (115358806)Resolved Issues
- Fixed: The isEligibleForIntroOffer property and isEligibleForIntroOffer(for method now reflect ineligibility in cases where a customer would otherwise be eligible for the offer if they weren’t actively subscribed. This means a customer which is not currently eligible for an introductory offer may become eligible in the future.
Customers who redeem an introductory offer for a given subscription group will continue to never be eligible for another introductory offer in that subscription group. You can detect this case this by checking if any one transaction with a matching subscriptionGroupID has the type property on offer set to introductory. (103604770) (FB11889732)SwiftUI

I'm the one who said In the first version of Sonoma Beta, it was very smooth, but now I'd still say it's smooth compared to Ventura. But there are a lot of minor bugs encountered. And it frustrates me that it hasn't been fixed after I submit the feedback. I think the macOS software team has an mentality problem.It's interesting to read the comments here about how this is the worst, buggiest OS Apple has ever put out....but then remember back to the very first posts after the first 14.0 betas were released after WWDC about how people were using it on their daily drivers because it was the most stable OS they had ever seen come out of Apple!
Which is why I'm still on Ventura. Years ago I used to wait until the x.4 release to update the the latest OS. Then, probably about 5 years now, I wait until the next major OS version is released to upgrade to the last version of the "final" release of the previous version. So when macOS 15.0 is released, I'll upgrade from the last version of Ventura, to the most current version of Sonoma. This has worked well for me.I think maybe the macOS development team won't fix bugs until the 15.0 major update. or they don't fix that maybe
Sound Sad
PS. Many bugs are very common bugs. I wonder if the people at Cupertino Won't you find this at all?
Since you are going back and forth between OS's have you bothered to do a full wipe and clean install using DFU? Just doing it the normal wipe and reinstall is not the same. A factory reset with DFU does a complete wipe and redo of the system and appropriate FW for the target Mac involved. A apple store with an appointment can perform this for you. Make sure you have a external ASR volume to restore system files/applications/data from before you do this.I'm the one who said In the first version of Sonoma Beta, it was very smooth, but now I'd still say it's smooth compared to Ventura.
