MacOS Tahoe 26.1: FilePicker and DirPicker not working (Issue #25973)
Jan Buchholz
SideFx created an issue (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#25973)I just cloned, compiled and installed wxWidgets. After building my project I discovered that neither wxFilePickerCtrl nor wxDirPickerCtrl are working. The debug console showed the follwing errors:

SideFx left a comment (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#25973)Yes, thank you so much. I resolved the issue by simply replacing the info.plist file with a file I built from scratch.
Case closed :)
