Product:macOS + SDK Product Version:10.13.2 (17C76a)
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I have a larger application that is written in Swift and has a preferences pane. After the migration to Xcode 9.1 and Swift 4 the preferences pane stopped working. I managed to reproduce the issue with a very small sample project. It is more or less the Xcode template for preferences panes with one class written in Swift.

Steps to Reproduce:
Clone my repo https://github.com/klaas/QlaasSwiftPreferencesPane, build the sample preferences pane, install it and select it in System Preferences.

Expected Results:
The preferences pane should show up. There should be no complain about non-Intel-compatibility.

Actual Results:
An error window is displayed: “Preferences Error - You can’t open QlaasSwiftPreferencesPane preferences pane because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.”. The pane does not open.

Version:
10.13.2 (17C76a)

Notes:
The same applies to screen savers written in Swift. See https://github.com/klaas/QlaasSwiftScreenSaver

Comments

Fixed in the latest macOS High Sierra release
