This PR continues and supersedes #120. It is mainly a contribution made by @oc7o. Description from the linked PR:

What

Adds a native macOS implementation of the TrayMenuController SPI, backed by NSStatusItem/NSMenu, replacing the AWT-based tray menu on macOS.

Why

The AWT tray menu has long-standing rendering and behavior issues on macOS (cryptomator/cryptomator#1977); e.g. clicking a submenu closes the whole tray menu. A native AppKit menu fixes these.

How

  • MacTrayMenuController (Java) implements TrayMenuController and is registered via provides in module-info.
  • A JNI backend (org_cryptomator_macos_tray_MacTrayMenuController_Native.m) drives NSStatusItem and NSMenu directly, supporting:
    • action items, submenus, and separators
    • tray icon set/update (template image)
    • a "before open" menu listener (menuNeedsUpdate:)
  • All AppKit calls run on the main thread; a menu rebuild happens within a single main thread hop, so concurrent rebuilds cannot interleave.
  • The root menu lives for the library's lifetime, so the menu can be built before or after the icon is shown.
  • Follows the SPI contract: TrayMenuException if the icon cannot be added, IllegalStateException for icon updates/listeners before the icon exists. Callback exceptions are logged via slf4j.
  • Native source added to the Xcode project.

Testing

  • Unit test: the controller is loadable via TrayMenuController.get().
  • Manual: built Cryptomator against this snapshot on macOS 27 (arm64) and checked icon, menu, submenus (stay open), actions, vault lock/unlock state refresh before opening, and quit.

Notes

  • macOS only; no behavior change on other platforms.
  • defaultAction is ignored: clicking a macOS status item always opens its menu.

- Use alloc/init when converting Java strings/arrays so no autoreleased
  objects are created on Java threads; keep @autoreleasepool only around
  AppKit convenience constructors (statusItemWithLength:, separatorItem)
- Create the root menu once, so building the menu before showTrayIcon no
  longer hands out dangling submenu handles
- Rebuild the whole menu within a single main thread hop
- Guard getEnv, JNI strings/arrays and null actions; use JNI_VERSION_10
- Throw TrayMenuException/IllegalStateException as the SPI specifies and
  log callback exceptions via slf4j
- Invoke the before-open listener from menuNeedsUpdate:, where AppKit
  allows modifying the menu
- Add SPI loading test, file header; drop unrelated .gitignore change

Explain Change →

Walkthrough

The change adds a macOS TrayMenuController implementation for displaying and updating tray icons and building menus with action items, separators, and submenus. Its JNI implementation performs AppKit operations on the main thread. The module registers the controller as a provider, and a test checks that the provider resolves to MacTrayMenuController.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Low · up to d2bb7

If the native library fails to load on macOS, the tray icon setup can throw an error that callers do not expect and may not handle. This is a narrow failure path with a simple fix, so it is mergeable with awareness.

🟡 Changes recommended

A missing or unloadable dylib causes an uncaught UnsatisfiedLinkError instead of TrayMenuException, preventing callers from recovering through the declared exception-handling path.

What changed in this PR

Adds a native macOS tray menu controller to replace AWT-based menus, addressing submenu behavior and rendering issues while integrating with the existing tray SPI.

Changes:

  • Registers MacTrayMenuController with support for icons, actions, submenus, separators, and before-open callbacks.
  • Implements the AppKit backend with main-thread dispatch and serialized menu rebuilds.
  • Adds JNI declarations, Xcode build integration, and a provider-discovery test.
File Description
src/​test/​java/​org/​cryptomator/​macos/​tray/​MacTrayMenuControllerTest.java Verifies discovery of the native controller.
src/​main/​native/​org_cryptomator_macos_tray_MacTrayMenuController_Native.m Implements native status items, menus, and Java callbacks.
src/​main/​native/​Integrations.xcodeproj/​project.pbxproj Includes the tray backend in the native build.
src/​main/​java/​org/​cryptomator/​macos/​tray/​MacTrayMenuController.java Implements the tray SPI and Java-to-native bridge.
src/​main/​java/​module-info.java Registers the tray menu service provider.
src/​main/​headers/​org_cryptomator_macos_tray_MacTrayMenuController_Native.h Declares the generated JNI entry points.

Translate native linkage failures to TrayMenuException.

If the native library cannot load, Native.INSTANCE.showTrayIcon can throw UnsatisfiedLinkError. Callers that handle the documented TrayMenuException cannot recover from that failure.
