Reply to FinderSync extensions gone in macOS settings
The next major release of my product is delayed because of this issue. And this definitely seems like a bug in the OS itself and not dependent on specific products. An OS feature has basically gone missing. Is pluginkit a valid workaround? I mean, it works, but I don't know if it's something that will be revoked without an official fix. Is there some assurance that Finder Sync Extensions are at least not being phased out and will continue to be supported? FBA #FB15300624 even if it's just a "me too" report.

Reply to Issues with XPC as general IPC
Ok, was having various problems with it until I started using LSRegisterURL as SMLoginItemSetEnabled wasn't launching my helper. Things seem a bit more convoluted now but at least I have a working version so I know it's possible. Not fond of "hidden" login items, preferring to have an explicit entry in the login items user interface but I guess you can't have everything.

Thanks for the clarification. The helper (which is the XPC server in this case) is indeed the process which is the login item so I'll look into the example you sent.A couple of quick questions, though:- My app is not sandboxed. Aside from the first step in the README which won't apply to me, are there any other caveats?- Will this work when the app is first installed or anytime the helper is killed? The helper will be launched manually by the outer app and not via login items.
