I have a xpc module (wrote in Swift using NSXPCConnection), it works well with test application (simple swift test app), my plan is to put this module under XPCService of a DAL plugIn, since the plugin written in C++, I created an Objective-C dylib which response for talking to the XPC, and this dylib using NSXConnection to activate the XPC module(as the Swift test App), it exports C API to the plugin.
Somehow when application using the plugin, the plugin call the API of the dylib to activate the XPC, but the XPC won't get loaded (from Activity Monitor).
Any idea to get this working? I cannot put XPCService folder inside the Obj-C dylib instead of inside the plugin bundle, and I don't want load the xpc as daemon, want it be loaded as plugin demanded.
Adding Obj-C into current C plugin is pretty headache, is there any C++ version NSXPConnection for this kind of situation?
=======this is the code in the dylib for activating the connection ======
- (int) initXPC
{
connection = [[NSXPCConnection alloc] initWithServiceName:@"com....."];
connection.remoteObjectInterface = [NSXPCInterface interfaceWithProtocol:@protocol(MyProtocol)];
[connection resume];
self->started = false;
NSLog(@"😂 XPC connection setup, result:%@", ((connection == nil) ? @"Failed":@"Succeed!") );
return connection != nil ;
}
Thanks Steven
