How can I send a notification to the notification center from a command line app? My attemps so far compile and run, but don't succeed in notifying me. Example #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { NSLog(@"Running notifications"); NSUserNotification *note = [[NSUserNotification alloc] init]; [note setTitle:@"Test"]; [note setInformativeText:@"Woot"]; NSUserNotificationCenter *center = [NSUserNotificationCenter defaultUserNotificationCenter]; [center scheduleNotification: note]; return 0; } I then compile like: clang -framework cocoa /tmp/Notes.m and I get 2012-07-29

Until iOS7 update I was using... UIImage *image = [moviePlayer thumbnailImageAtTime:1.0 timeOption:MPMovieTimeOptionNearestKeyFrame]; ...with great success, so that my app could show a still of the video that the user had just taken. I understand this method, as of iOS7 has now deprecated and I need an alternative. I see there's a method of - (void)requestThumbnailImagesAtTimes:(NSArray *)playbackTimes timeOption:(MPMovieTimeOption)option though how do I return the image from it so I can place it within the videoReview button image? Thanks in advance, Jim. ****Edited question, after trying

I want to listen to all notifications dispatched to the defaultCenter. Both public and private. Does anyone know how I can do this? Sam Use NSNotificationCenter's addObserverForName:object:queue:usingBlock: OR addObserver:selector:name:object: method and pass nil for the name and object. Example The following code should do the job: - (void)dumpNotifications { NSNotificationCenter *notifyCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]; [notifyCenter addObserverForName:nil object:nil queue:nil usingBlock:^(NSNotification *notification){ // Explore notification NSLog(@"Notification found with:" "

In Objective-C, a custom notification is just a plain NSString, but it's not obvious in the WWDC version of Swift 3 just what it should be. You could also use a protocol for this protocol NotificationName { var name: Notification.Name { get } } extension RawRepresentable where RawValue == String, Self: NotificationName { var name: Notification.Name { get { return Notification.Name(self.rawValue) } } } And then define your notification names as an enum anywhere you want. For example: class MyClass { enum Notifications: String, NotificationName { case myNotification } } And use it like

The default "your app doesn't have an icon" icon keeps showing up: Here's what I've done so far I have created an icns file that includes 512, 256, 128, 32 & 16px versions dragged the icon into the "App Icon" section of the target's summary I made to sure to check the box to copy the icon into the project the plist's "Icon file" section references the correct icon name (minus the .icns) part Any ideas? The icon doesn't show up when I run the

Is there an easy-to-grock pattern how to send a NSNotification (Objective C) | Notification (in Swift) and how to receive one? Code snippet? The docs write like 150 pages on the topic. Would like to see a quick example. Send a notification: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MyCacheUpdatedNotification" object:self]; Receive it: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(cacheUpdated:) name:@"MyCacheUpdatedNotification" object:nil]; Act on it: - (void)cacheUpdated:(NSNotification *)notification { [self load]; } And dispose of it: [
