TrayIcon on macOS Tahoe beta

[Damon Nguyen]

Hi Simon,

I have recently gone through tests against macOS 26 Tahoe and I can confirm that SystemTray/TrayIcon worked as expected. The icon appears in the menu bar similar to previous macOS versions. Can you provide a test case where the TrayIcon is not shown in the macOS menu bar? And could you attach an image with it as well? That would make it easier to look into.

Thanks,
Damon
