In the “old days”, your app could periodically call UpdateSystemActivity( UsrActivity ) to prevent the screensaver kicking in. This has been deprecated since 10.8, but the header for that function says it can be replaced by IOPMAssertionCreateWithName(). I haven’t looked at that in detail or used it myself, but one of the defines for that function is ‘kIOPMAssertionTypePreventUserIdleDisplaySleep’, which appears to do the same thing as the old UpdateSystemActivity() call.
Apologies if you already discussed this and rejected it for some reason, but otherwise, it may be worth checking out. —Graham > On 29 Jun 2020, at 5:31 am, Gabriel Zachmann via Cocoa-dev > <cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com> wrote: > > Yes, agreed.
