another thorny permissions issue

I am actually hoping to put this app into the new macOS TestFlight program and distribute beta's from there. Anyone have any experience with that?

Hi Mark - I'd be interested in doing this as well. Can you post your experience if you have success with this?

Many thanks

Hi Stam, just getting started with this (finally). Will keep you posted.

I thought I would be clever and try this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   if (shell("top -o rsize -ncols 2 -l 1")) contains "safari" then
      put "Yes"
   else
      put "No"
      end if
end mouseUp

Well, this worked great outside the Mac App Store but building for the store requires sandboxing and a sandboxed app that runs that shell command returns the following error message:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/top: Operation not permitted

Lovely. I'm now on the hunt to see if a sandboxed app can determine if a specific app is running on the users machine. If anyone has any experience in that regard, or has an entitlement to suggest I try, I would be delighted!!

Thanks
