Reply to How to get/track the active app name from the background app on Mac using SwiftUI?

I don't speak Swift, but the frontmostApplication property of NSWorkspace should give you what you want.

Reply to how to get appstore url , before submit a app to App Store ?

When I try using the "short link" method in the accepted reply, the Mac App Store app goes into an infinite loop of "Cannot Connect to App Store" error messages.

This is not the place to ask Apple to fix a bug. Use Feedback Assistant.

Reply to How to get the bundle identifier of the app bundle dragged into an NSTableView?

Have you gotten as far as getting an NSURL from the drop? Once you have that, create an NSBundle from it, and then can get the bundle identifier.

Reply to Code Signature Invalid for MacOS app

If you want to release "without hosting to app store", why would you select App Store Connect?

Reply to Capture screenshot in MacOS App issue

Try calling CGRequestScreenCaptureAccess before the other stuff. That’s probably needed to do screen capture from within the sandbox.

Reply to Disable pop-up asking "...would like to access files in your Documents folder"

Is your executable an application? Is it code signed?

Reply to Capture screenshot in MacOS App issue

What have you tried, CGDisplayCreateImage? You may also need CGPreflightScreenCaptureAccess and CGRequestScreenCaptureAccess.

Reply to Get Window Number from Keyboard Event Using addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask and addLocalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask (Objective-C)

I'm not sure why you would assume that a keyboard event has a window number. When you create a keyboard event with CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent, you don't specify a window or a mouse location. And the global event monitor may see events before applications have begun to dispatch them.

Reply to CGEventTapPostEvent fails in Save panel

I changed the tap creation to use the location kCGSessionEventTap instead of kCGAnnotatedSessionEventTap, and now it works. Go figure.

Reply to Can UserNotifications be used in a command line program?

You may have better luck using CFUserNotificationDisplayNotice, an older and lower-level notification API.

Reply to NSApplicationActivateAllWindows does not work, any alternative?

When you click an app in the Dock, all the windows come forward. Looks like it's using some private equivalent of SetFrontProcessWithOptions.

Reply to NSApplicationActivateAllWindows does not work, any alternative?

It turns out that the Carbon function SetFrontProcessWithOptions, deprecated since 10.9, does bring all the windows forward. The documentation says "Passing 0 for the options is equivalent to calling SetFrontProcess", but that's not true, SetFrontProcess does not bring all the windows forward.
