[Pyobjc-dev] PyObjC status w.r.t. macOS 10.13

[Ronald O. <ron...@ma...>]

Hi,

A little update on PyObjC on macOS 10.13: I’m working on updating the metadata for macOS 10.13.  This has taken a significant amount of time for checking API diffs and updating PyObjC’s code, and I’m not done yet. 

As of now I’ve updated most metadata and have even added wrappers for some of the new frameworks. I currently have 5 already wrapped frameworks and 3 new frameworks on my work queue. After updating the metadata I’ll move to testing on a VM running beta 1, when that’s done I’ll move to the then latest beta (updating metadata + testing). Hopefully the amount of work will get less and less as we get closer to the GM of macOS 10.13, but I’ve seen annoyingly large textual diffs in later beta’s in the past.

If the amount of work to keep up with the beta cycle does get smaller in later beta’s it should be possible to add new wrappers for older frameworks as well (the security frameworks are high on my list in that regard). 

With some luck I’ll be able to cut a release with full macOS 10.13 support around the time Apple says its OK to use the 10.13 SDK for uploads to the App Store (by that time the API should be stable).

P.S. All work is done on the "macos10.13-support” of the bitbucket repository.
P.P.S. Because of work on macOS 10.13 support I’m spending close to no time on py2app and related projects
