<Notice>: Could not watch application com.google.Chrome (pid=464): invalidObject(AXError.APIDisabled) #9

Closed stphivos closed 7 years ago

stphivos commented 7 years ago

I tried adding my Cocoa Application - that has the Swindler binary embedded - to Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility but this keeps happening. Any ideas?

tmandry commented 7 years ago

Try using the AXSwift API to check if your process is actually trusted.. if not, it will tell you what application to add.

From SwindlerExample:

        guard AXSwift.checkIsProcessTrusted(prompt: true) else {
            print("Not trusted as an AX process; please authorize and re-launch")
            NSApp.terminate(self)
            return
        }

Thanks @tmandry. That prompted me to add the correct instance of my test app to the list of the allowed apps.

Now I'm getting different error(s): AXError.NotificationUnsupported and that it could not watch some applications:

Those look expected to me. Many helper or otherwise "special" app components don't respond to the AX requests or respond with an error. Currently I log them because it's hard to determine if an app "should" fail (especially on timeouts). This needs to be documented, though.
