Re: Talking to other apps

When you say app-friend, what do you mean? Another application? An XPC service? Some other kind of service? If your App is sandboxed and the service is not an xpc service embedded in your application then I think your pretty much out of luck. Kevin On 4 Aug 2014, at 07:54, Gerriet M. Denkmann

Re: Talking to other apps

If you want to go down the sockets path, there are clear examples on using NSStream, sockets and Bonjour to send info between apps that are on the same Mac. Check out the PictureSharing sample and other NSStream samples that are included in the Xcode help. All I had to do to get this to work w

Preventing empty NSTextFields that use NSNumberFormatter

Hi all, NSNumberFormatter, applied to an NSTextField, will very nicely reject things like letters, and optionally a bunch of things like negative numbers, non-integers, etc. But I've just noticed that it doesn't seem to help if the textfield is left entirely empty. Is that not something NSNum

applicationWillFinishLaunching vs. applicationDidFinishLaunching for NSDocument-based apps

A lot of sample code I see on web pages about application delegates use the applicationDidFinishLaunching: method for setting up any application-global data or routines. I just read a page about the Cocoa app initialization order, and it had the various NSDocument and NSDocumentController routi

center-y constant animation won't animate

I'm setting the constant of a center-y-in-container constraint in a [UIView animateWith…] block, but it doesn't animate; it just jumps to the offset location. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? The code is pretty straightforward… https://pastee.org/edgsf I tried calling -animateWith

I'm experiencing the same things. As it's beta 1 I guess it's expected that it's going to be really buggy. I wrote a simple app the other day and i crashed xcode easily 50 times. I'm giving up on swift for now until the next beta where Im hoping Apple fixes a load of things. Also remember it's

Intercepting *all* keystrokes in NSView?

Hello list, I have a subclass of NSView that is set to be my window's first responder. It intercepts keystrokes by implementing keyUp: and performKeyEquivalent: but it doesn't do quite what I need. I have to intercept as many keystrokes as I possibly can, including those bound to menu items or

No 405. I think that session was a lab. The issue I’m having right now with Swift is I can’t keep up with it, no pun intended. It’s great that Apple is being so responsive developing Swift as the community puts in bug reports and comments, but I wish at this point I could forget everything I l
