Has a bug report been submitted to Apple regarding their breaking their own api contract with the policy not changing values? |
Not yet, I'm not too familiar with how bug reporting to Apple works 😅. This change is still needed to work around the issue on older macOS versions either way. |
|
Well before reporting it, I made sure to test it on Ventura RC2 in a VM first and it seems like the issue has already been fixed, at least I wasn't able to reproduce it |

Applied the requested changes, let me know if there is anything else. |

Actually this is not fixed in Ventura, just wasn't able to replicate it in a VM I assume. |

Fixes #7615
I discovered that in very specific conditions (when interface style is on automatic and the switch happens while the Mac is turned off, as outlined in the original issue), the
AppleInterfaceStylepreference value in.GlobalPreferencesis wrong. I worked around this issue by instead relying on the proper system API to get the appearance state.Additionally there was a second issue, originally the code was registering for the
AppleInterfaceThemeChangedNotificationto know when the appearance changed, unfortunately this event fires before the system API returns the new appearance state, so I had to switch it to registering a KVO on theeffectiveAppearanceproperty as done in Apple sample code.Screenshots

Testing strategy
Reproduce the specific conditions outlined above and open the old build and the build with this change after another (you will see one looks wrong and one looks right). Instead of reproducing the conditions (very time consuming), you can also manually give the
AppleInterfaceStylekey the wrong value:defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleInterfaceStyle -string "<Dark/Light>". (Note that you have to use defaults, manually writing this key using a plist editor does not work).Type of change
