There was a problem hiding this comment.
An example of yet another improvement: This function was previously leaking, as the NSThread wasn't released at the end of the scope. objc2 instead handles this kind of memory management for you automatically.

These replace the `objc` family of crates, and provide a bunch of improvements on top of it. Improvements relevant for `rfd`: - No longer need to call `msg_send!`, (almost) all methods have automatically generated bindings in `objc2-foundation`. - `MainThreadMarker`, allows marking explicitly the functions that must run on the main thread. - Blocks in `block2` have correct memory management, you no longer need to call `mem::forget`. - AppKit bindings are provided in `objc2-app-kit`, you no longer need to define `NSApplication`, `NSAlertStyle` and such manually. To do this change, I had to change how `AsModal` works, as it was previously relying on the fact that `NSAlert` and `NSSavePanel` just so happened to have mostly compatible methods; now we ensure statically that the correct method is called.
macos-latest is now macos-14, which runs on aarch64
