Hello 👋,
I am quite new in the Apple development world, so please forgive me if I am saying something wrong. I am working on a macOs application which aims to act mainly as an assistive window switcher.
In order to do so it leverages on AXUIElementCopyAttributeValues
and AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue
, especially the former to retrieve other application's window titles and the latter to set and focus a target main window.
I read online, according to Apple Store guidelines, that app to be accepted in App Store must be sandboxed. And as I read in several forums there may not be a way to use accessibility features within sandbox.
- So, first question, based on this I would like to know if there is a way to achieve the same without accessibility features?
Currently the only thing which does not work is the permission prompt, but an user may also enable Accessibility permissions under Privacy & Security for a certain app.
- May the app pass the review process, supposing no prompt will be requested to the user, but a "Getting started" will inform and guide the user to set the permissions?
Thanks in advance 🙏
