[Suggestion] Use FileManager.default.mountedVolumeURLs(...) for fetching volumes about tinu HOT 4 CLOSED

the app has already links to download the installer from the app store, just open the app and go to the menu bar and click on help and then click on download a mac os installer. I am working also on making this screen more accessible in the ui.

I did not integrate the download of the installer directly from TINU for legal reasons because i want to avoid problems with apple by provviding unuthorized distribution or download for their software.

And i did use that approach for drive detection because i was more familir with some terminal commands than system apis and also to the use of json like parsing, in fact when i worked on some commercial projects i used json a lot

Thank you for the explanation.

You could likely accomplish what you need using DiskArbitration as well. Maybe if the skipHiddenVolumes option is disabled, you may be able to get the EFI disks too (whose information you could fetch by creating a DADisk and getting its information dictionary, also including the whole disk if needed) - though I have not tested myself.

Nonetheless, your approach to retrieving the disks piqued my interest as I am working on a different app related to disks, hence the meddling :)

Unrelated to this: It would be cool if the app included the ability to download the installer. You could refer to installinstallmacOS.py perhaps.

Just to add some news, the new version 3.0 beta 1 has mooved from the old complicated system to a way more simpler one based on codable classes, so it always inteprets the output of diskutil list -plist, but it's a mutch better implementation of that and now it shows also the usb drivers entirerly rather than just usable partitions
