Hello all,
I am trying to use the new SMAppService added in MacOS Ventura to add my app to login items. This is the code I am using:
if (@available(macOS 13.0, *)) {
SMAppService* service = [SMAppService mainAppService];
NSError* error = nil;
BOOL output = false;
if (setEnabled)
output = [service registerAndReturnError:&error];
else
output = [service unregisterAndReturnError:&error];
}
However when I run the app I see this error: Domain=SMAppServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Operation not permitted} 2022-12-25 11:14:16.628 TimeDoctor2[16823:159849] Error adding or removing item Error Domain=SMAppServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Operation not permitted}
I have tried to check the error detail using this command on another terminal tab:
sudo log stream --debug --info --predicate "process in { '<my process>', 'smd', 'backgroundtaskmanagementd'} and sender in {'ServiceManagement', 'BackgroundTaskManagement', 'smd', 'backgroundtaskmanagementd'}"
I don´t really understand the output:
Filtering the log data using "process IN {"<my process>", "smd", "backgroundtaskmanagementd"} AND sender IN {"ServiceManagement", "BackgroundTaskManagement", "smd", "backgroundtaskmanagementd"}"
