Attempted to construct an Id from a null pointer

[louis030195]

After upgrading to mac 15.0 got this error:

thread '' panicked at /Users/matthewdi/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/objc_id-0.1.1/src/id.rs:52:9:
Attempted to construct an Id from a null pointer
note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace
libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught foreign exception
zsh: abort ./target/release/screenpipe --debug

Does not happen on mac 14.5 (m3)

using: RustAudio/cpal#894

we had to stop using screencapturekit-rs temporarily:
mediar-ai/screenpipe@e3ef919

sorry not lot of information, not sure where is the issue

happy to dig more in details / send a PR in upcoming days

Thanks for using this lib! I've been a bit in hibernation during summer but can have a look soon.

There is another take on macOS framework bindings which I think looks promising: https://github.com/yury/cidre check out the SC module.

Cheers

Got the same error on macOS 15 beta. Here is the stack trace using the store_audio example:

I believe it is because the CMSampleBufferGetSampleAttachmentsArray API returns NULL, and the code didn't check for that:
https://github.com/svtlabs/screencapturekit-rs/blob/9a6b9f346bd30de0d2f9a02af36d4cf6461f4f3b/screencapturekit-sys/src/cm_sample_buffer_ref.rs#L23

A simple, temporary workaround I found is to set the createIfNecessary Bool parameter of CMSampleBufferGetSampleAttachmentsArray to true.

-- let raw_attachments_array = CMSampleBufferGetSampleAttachmentsArray(self, 0);
++ let raw_attachments_array = CMSampleBufferGetSampleAttachmentsArray(self, 1);
