Doesn't work on 10.9 Mavericks

[kdbdallas]

This code no longer works under 10.9 Mavericks.
Not sure what is wrong, I have been trying to figure it out...

Same problem :( did you ever find a solution to 10.9 ?

[kdbdallas]

Yea I did. Try this.

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue, please try the new build I've uploaded.

Same here. Not working on 10.9.

[timschroederme]

Sorry to hear that. What exactly isn't working? Have you just compiled and launched the app?

[ghvillasboas]

@timschroedernet Actually your code works ok when running it untouched, but when I try to reproduce the same functionality into a newly created xcode 10.9 project, it doesn't work. Followed your tutorial (great tutorial, BTW) a dozen of times. I'm still trying to get into the root of the problem, but no success, though.

[timschroederme]

Ok, I see the point. If you could provide to me your sample code of your newly created Xcode project, I would be happy to have a look?

[ghvillasboas]

@timschroedernet Absolutely. Made this one as simples as possible to better isolate and detect the problem. https://github.com/ghvillasboas/LaunchAtLogin Thanks.

@ghvillasboas Your sample project works like a charm and launched at login on my machine. Of course, I had to

• move the app to the /Application folder and to
• code-sign the targets with my Developer ID certificate,

as described in my readme file. If you've also done this, I can't tell why it doesn't work for you.

@timschroedernet Thank you for viewing my code Tim. This is very odd, unfortunately. I moved it to the app folder and code-signed it as recommended. But didn't worked as expected. The strange thing is that when I open the contents of your .app and run the HelperApp manually, the MainApp launches. On my code that doesn't happen. I'll try another machine with a fresh xcode copy tomorrow. But thanks anyway. Best. G.

@timschroedernet Sorry about the delay on the feedback. Busy month. Turns out that my issue was indeed a problem with my Xcode copy. Possibly due some private plugins we use in our development process. Testing on a fresh install of Xcode worked like a charm. Thanks.
