How can I know the Apple Event Access Groups used by an application?

由 本小妞迷上赌 提交于 2019-12-18 05:21:32
问题 Apples' Sandobox is supposed to use Apple Event Access Groups, which allow applications to communicate with each other, as described in the WWDC video "Session 206 Secure Automation Techniques In OS X" However, what is not mentioned (and I could find no reference to it in Xcode 5.x documentation) is how can I find out which Apple Event Access Groups are defined for a specific application. For example, if I want my App to communicate with Pages (or Photoshop, or Firefox, etc.), how can I find

问题 I would like to execute the Applescript command tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file */path/to/somefilename* from a C++ program. It looks like I might want to use OSACompileExecute , but I haven't been able to find an example of how to use it. I keep finding examples of how to use the OSACompile Terminal command. Can someone provide an example or a link to an example? 回答1: Ok, the trick was to not bother trying to compile and execute the Applescript but to simply use the osascript

Note that I didn't try this

AEInstallEventHandler handler not being called on startup

由 匆匆过客 提交于 2019-12-11 10:24:13
问题 I've installed a Apple Event handler for URL's in my app: OSStatus e = AEInstallEventHandler( kInternetEventClass, kAEGetURL, NewAEEventHandlerUPP(AppleEventProc), (SRefCon)this, false); And that works if my application is running. However if my app is NOT running, clicking a URL in a browser starts the application but no Apple Event is received on my handler. My call to AEInstallEventHandler is during my app's startup phase, before it reaches the message loop. It's not the very first thing I

Very slow to open a file with application:openFile: after returning

由 可紊 提交于 2019-12-10 17:05:48
问题 My application implements the NSApplicationDelegate method -application:openFile: in its app delegate. There seems to be a problem new to OS 10.8 where after receiving the apple event to open a file, five seconds pass before some kind of internal timeout is hit, a response is sent to the apple event, and the calling app (e.g., applescript editor) proceeds. In detail, here's what I see. After application:openFile: returns YES, I can see that -[NSAppleEventManager suspendCurrentAppleEvent] is

How to force kill another application in cocoa Mac OS X 10.5

Tap AppleEvents being sent to another application

由 让人想犯罪 __ 提交于 2019-12-08 05:03:30
Is it possible to monitor or tap the stream of Apple Events being sent to a process, in the same way you can tap Quartz Events? I have an application that talks to another application to force it to import files, but it does so in a way that's unavailable through menus or UI scripting, and I'm trying to track down how it does this. Do you need to do this programmatically or is manual/interactive OK? If manual is OK, here are some approaches: Try using AppleScript Editor to record the target app. Try using the techniques listed in Technical Note TN2124: Mac OS X Debugging Magic under Apple
