Oops, sorry for missing this out. Here's the code in my main GUI application:
CFMessagePortRef localPort = CFMessagePortCreateLocal(NULL,
CFSTR("com.example.app.port.server"), Callback, nil, nil);
if (!localPort) {
NSLog(@"couldn't open localport");
}
CFRunLoopSourceRef runLoopSource =
CFMessagePortCreateRunLoopSource(nil, localPort, 0);
CFRunLoopAddSource(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), runLoopSource,
kCFRunLoopCommonModes);
I know the port is getting created, as I can connect from another GUI app, I
just can't connect from the helper tool.
I'm using the following to try and connect to it from the helper tool:
CFMessagePortRef remotePort = CFMessagePortCreateRemote(NULL,
CFSTR("com.example.app.port.server"));

The helper tool *is* launched by launchd, however if I add the MachService name
to the plist, won't that mean the connection is going the wrong way? I want
the GUI to listen for connections from the helper tool.
Thanks again
