Comment on Keeping NSApplication during LoginWindow

I just ran into this question which sounds like it is my issue and my answer about "applicationWillTerminate". I still would love to know about keyboard events during LoginView.

Comment on Keeping NSApplication during LoginWindow

I didn’t think I could access the textfield but I’m still a bit confused about why “IsSecureInputEventEnabled” returns false? So long story short, it is not possible to disable secure input events on the password textfield? It is.

Comment on getting system wide cursor events possible?

It is remote control application I’m working on. I need to be able to know the type of system cursors available and also know when the user changes the cursor image so I can notify my client.

Comment on getting system wide cursor events possible?

I was hoping for something that delivers system wide cursor events like NSEvent.addLocalMonitorForEvents(matching: .cursorUpdate,handler: cursorEventReceived(_:)) does for local events.

I have also tried using XPC_SERVICE_NAME => com.myCompany.myCompanyServer in my XPCListener and Connection but made no difference.

Comment on Unable to remove app from InputMonitoring pane

my bad, I meant “sudo tccutil reset InputMonitoring appsidentifier”. But even without the sudo in it I get the same result "Failed to reset InputMonitoring approval status for appsIdentified"

well, it turns out spotlight was finding the Xcode builds of the LanchAgent and LaunchDaemon.
