Hello, everyone.
My name is Matt, I'm the developer of Eternal Storms Software.
I recently released a freeware app: SiriMote, outside of the Mac App Store.
The reason I could not release it on the Mac App Store is that it uses CGEventPost to simulate keypresses (for example, when the play/pause button is pressed on the Siri Remote, the Play/Pause media key (on the F8 key) of the Mac's keyboard is pressed), and CGEventPost is ignored inside the sandbox.
So I was wondering - is there a way to do this inside the sandbox?
I guess an alternative would be using the Scripting Bridge, but then I would have to specifically communicate with particular apps. The nice thing about CGEventPost is that any app that responds to the media keys can be used with SiriMote.
I'd love a more open approach, like CGEventPost.
Any hints appreciated!
Thank you kindly,
Matt
