osx-yosemite

I've been trying to develop a status bar app for Yosemite, which is my first OS X app, but when I searched for the document, the NSStatusItem documentation says that almost all of the properties and methods there (e.g. .title , .highlightMode , and .image ) are deprecated in OS X 10.10. So I wonder how I can create a status bar app for Yosemite. I found those documentations from Dash, but it's weird that Apple's documentation doesn't make it deprecated yet. But I know they are usually slow to update the documentation, though I wonder then how and where Dash got those seemingly updated

Is it possible to extend spotlight's search feature to support additional commands? For example, is it possible to define custom web search aliases, meaning I could type yt and it would provide results from youtube. Alternatively, is it possible to add additional system commands were I could type sl (or some variant) to put my computer to sleep. No it is not possible, there are only 4 types of extensions for OS X Yosemite : Today - Get a quick update or perform a quick task in the Today view of Notification Center Share - Post to a sharing website or share content with others Action -

I'm suddenly getting this error on Yosemite: ***storageTaskManagerExistsWithIdentifier:withIdentifier failed: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application."

Any ideas what might be going on? (I don't even have a clue where too look at... Sure, I have a WebView in there, but I haven't yet manage to figure

I am using CGEventTapCreateForPSN to trap and filter keys for my application. I'm not interested in intercepting events for other applications. I'm pretty sure an event tap is too heavy handed for my purpose, but I've been unable to find a better way, and using the event tap works. Specifically, this code does what I want. GetCurrentProcess(&psn); CFMachPortRef eventTap = CGEventTapCreateForPSN( &psn, kCGHeadInsertEventTap, kCGEventTapOptionDefault, CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyDown) | CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyUp), eventCallback, userInfo); And my callback is handled nicely, with the events

I am a Windows/Linux developer who occasionally builds for OS X - particularly in Qt. I have a simple Qt project that I have been developing on Windows. I now wish to build it on OS X. I am running Yosemite. I have installed Xcode 7 and am attempting to install Qt 5.5. When I run the Qt installer, immediately after the prompt to log in to Qt (which is successful), I receive the following error: You need to install Xcode version 5.0.0. I have attempted to locate Xcode 5.0.0 on the Apple Developer site, but this is 2 major versions behind the most recent version, and I cannot even find an
