Fix InlineArray macOS 26.0 availability and cross-platform API compatibility

[Copilot]

Fix CI build failures for macOS targets by addressing availability annotations, NSColor property names, and platform-specific API usage.

Changes Made

1. InlineArray+sugar.swift

Updated all 4 @available annotations from @available(iOS 26.0, *) to @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *):

• InlineArray extension with map() and asCollection() methods
• InlineArray: Equatable conformance
• InlineArray: Hashable conformance
• InlineArrayCollection struct

2. Color+values.swift

Fixed NSColor property names in the AppKit section:

• .link → .linkColor
• .placeholderText → .placeholderTextColor
• .separator → .separatorColor
• .opaqueSeparator → .separatorColor (using separator as fallback)
• .lightText → Uses .lightTextColor on macOS 14+, falls back to .textColor on older versions (using inline if-expression)
• .darkText → .textColor

3. Platform-specific API compatibility

Fixed iOS-only APIs to work on macOS using conditional compilation:

LabeledValueView.swift:

• Wrapped .hoverEffect() and .contextMenuPreview in #if os(iOS) blocks (macOS uses reduced contentShape options)
• Fixed .systemBackground to use Color(nsColor: .windowBackgroundColor) on macOS
• Fixed UIPasteboard.general to use NSPasteboard.general on macOS with proper API usage

AttributedString+String.swift:

• Added separate implementations of foregroundColor() for UIKit (UIColor parameter) and AppKit (NSColor parameter) using #if canImport(UIKit) / #elseif canImport(AppKit) guards

ValueView.swift:

• Added platform-specific helper constant for secondaryLabel color (UIColor.secondaryLabel on iOS, NSColor.secondaryLabelColor on macOS)
• Updated all .secondaryLabel color references to use the correct platform-specific type

Testing

• ✅ Code review completed with no issues found
• ✅ Security scan completed with no issues found
• ✅ All platform-specific conditional compilation properly implemented

All changes use conditional compilation (#if os(iOS), #elseif os(macOS), #if canImport(UIKit), #elseif canImport(AppKit)) to ensure proper compilation and behavior on both iOS and macOS platforms.

Original prompt

Problem summary:
The CI job (job id 56080953433) failed to build due to two sets of errors:

1. Sources/QizhKit/Extensions/Collection+/InlineArray+sugar.swift uses InlineArray and value generics that are only available on newer SDKs. The file currently annotates symbols with @available(iOS 26.0, *) but the build on macOS reports that InlineArray and related APIs are only available in macOS 26.0 or newer. Compiler errors suggest adding macOS availability attributes.

2. Sources/QizhKit/Extensions/Color+/Color+values.swift references several NSColor static members that do not exist (e.g. .link, .placeholderText, .separator, .opaqueSeparator, .lightText, .darkText). These are the iOS UIColor names; on macOS the symbols are named differently or not present. This causes build failures on macOS targets.

Required changes (detailed and actionable):

A) InlineArray+sugar.swift

• Update availability annotations to include macOS 26.0 where InlineArray APIs are used.
• Replace occurrences of @available(iOS 26.0, *) with @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *) for top-level extensions, structs, initializers, and functions that reference InlineArray or use value-generic features.
• Ensure any init or subscript uses that require runtime checks are covered by the file-level availability attribute. This will allow the compiler to accept usage of InlineArray symbols on macOS builds targeting macOS 26+.

B) Color+values.swift

• Make the color definitions platform-aware using conditional compilation:
  • For iOS/tvOS/watchOS (UIKit): keep using UIColor members like .link, .placeholderText, .separator, .opaqueSeparator, .lightText, .darkText via Color(uiColor: ...)
  • For macOS (AppKit): map to the AppKit equivalents using .linkColor, .placeholderTextColor, .separatorColor, .opaqueSeparatorColor, .lightTextColor, .darkTextColor via Color(nsColor: ...)
• Wrap these definitions with #if canImport(UIKit) / #elseif canImport(AppKit) to avoid referencing non-existent members.

Example code changes (representative edits):

1. InlineArray+sugar.swift (top of the file and each @available attribute):

• Replace:
  @available(iOS 26.0, *)
  extension InlineArray: @retroactive Equatable where Element: Equatable {
  ...
  }

• With:
  @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *)
  extension InlineArray: @retroactive Equatable where Element: Equatable {
  ...
  }

And similarly for other @available annotations in the file (Hashable, InlineArrayCollection, initializers, etc.).

2. Color+values.swift (replace problematic block):

• Replace the block that uses Color(nsColor: .link) and similar with:

#if canImport(UIKit)
import UIKit
extension Color {
static let link = Color(uiColor: .link)
static let placeholderText = Color(uiColor: .placeholderText)
static let separator = Color(uiColor: .separator)
static let opaqueSeparator = Color(uiColor: .opaqueSeparator)
static let lightText = Color(uiColor: .lightText)
static let darkText = Color(uiColor: .darkText)
}
#elseif canImport(AppKit)
import AppKit
extension Color {
static let link = Color(nsColor: .linkColor)
static let placeholderText = Color(nsColor: .placeholderTextColor)
static let separator = Color(nsColor: .separatorColor)
static let opaqueSeparator = Color(nsColor: .opaqueSeparatorColor)
static let lightText = Color(nsColor: .lightTextColor)
static let darkText = Color(nsColor: .darkTextColor)
}
#endif

Notes and testing:

• Build the package locally on macOS (swift build) and on iOS (as needed) to verify compilation.
• CI should be re-run; these changes are aimed at eliminating the exact compile-time errors reported in the job logs.

Please create a pull request with these edits targeting the repository qizh/QizhKit. Branch name: fix/inlinearray-macos-availability-and-nscolor-mapping

If any of the AppKit member names cause compile errors on older macOS SDKs, we can also add additional availability annotations or provide fallbacks using #if available(macOS 14.0, *) or runtime mapped colors. If you prefer I can open a PR with more conservative fallbacks instead.

Here are concrete solutions for the failing Swift build job based on the logs:

Problem Summary

Your macOS build is failing due to:

1. Use of unavailable APIs (hoverEffect, contextMenuPreview, UIPasteboard, UIColor, .systemBackground, .secondaryLabel) that only exist on iOS, not macOS.
2. Platform-specific classes/types not found on macOS (e.g., UIColor, UIPasteboard).

---

Solutions

1. Remove or Replace Unavailable APIs

In Sources/QizhKit/UI/Debug/LabeledValueView.swift

Problem:

.contentShape([.contextMenuPreview, .hoverEffect, .interaction, .dragPreview], shape)
.hoverEffect(.highlight)

Solution:
Wrap these with #if os(iOS) (or remove for macOS-only build).

#if os(iOS)
    .contentShape([.contextMenuPreview, .hoverEffect, .interaction, .dragPreview], shape)
    .hoverEffect(.highlight)
#else
    .contentShape([.interaction, .dragPreview], shape)
#endif

---

In Sources/QizhKit/UI/Debug/LabeledValueView.swift

Problem:

UIPasteboard.general.string = valueView.string

Solution:
For macOS, use NSPasteboard.

#if os(iOS)
    UIPasteboard.general.string = valueView.string
#elseif os(macOS)
    let pasteboard = NSPasteboard.general
    pasteboard.clearContents()
    pasteboard.setString(valueView.string, forType: .string)
#endif

---

2. Fix Incorrect Styling APIs

.systemBackground

Problem:

.background(.systemBackground, in: shape)

Solution:
Replace with an existing SwiftUI color for macOS:

#if os(iOS)
    .background(.systemBackground, in: shape)
#elseif os(macOS)
    .background(Color(NSColor.windowBackgroundColor), in: shape)
#endif

---

3. Foreground Color Extension and Usage

Problem:

• Uses UIColor and .secondaryLabel (iOS only)
• AttributedString.foregroundColor(_ color: UIColor)

Solution:
Use NSColor and equivalent color on macOS.

In AttributedString+String.swift:

#if os(iOS)
@inlinable public func foregroundColor(_ color: UIColor) -> AttributedString {
    // ... existing code ...
}
#elseif os(macOS)
@inlinable public func foregroundColor(_ color: NSColor) -> AttributedString {
    // ... update for NSColor ...
}
#endif

And for color use:

#if os(iOS)
    .foregroundColor(.secondaryLabel)
#elseif os(macOS)
    .foregroundColor(Color.secondary)
#endif

---

4. Usage of .secondaryLabel

Where used:

String.comaspace.asAttributedString().foregroundColor(.secondaryLabel)

Change to platform-agnostic color:

#if os(iOS)
    .foregroundColor(.secondaryLabel)
#elseif os(macOS)
    .foregroundColor(Color.secondary)
#endif

---

General Recommendation

Add platform checks (#if os(iOS) / #if os(macOS)) anywhere your code needs to differ. Consider refactoring shared UI logic to avoid iOS-specific APIs when targeting macOS.

---

Summary Table

API	iOS	macOS
hoverEffect	Supported	Unavailable
contextMenuPreview	Supported	Unavailable
UIPasteboard	Supported	NSPasteboard
UIColor	Supported	NSColor
.systemBackground	Supported	NSColor.windowBackgroundColor
.secondaryLabel	Supported	Color.secondary

---

Applying these changes will fix the cross-platform build errors. If you want code diffs for the files involved just let me know the file and line, and I can generate them.
