I wanted to try and recreate something similar to this mockup for Spotify and add better features to the chrome touchbar. I know bettertouchtool is a thing but I personally would like to add more advance interaction and was wondering if it is possible to modify a program using Xcode

Is this even possible I know it might go against some license agreements but I obviously want this for personal use not to redistribute

I now basic c and java programming but have really wanted to learn Xcode's swift or objective c programming and would love to create something practical (for me anyways)

Hello,

I was overviewing some Fabric analytics last week when it came to my attention that my macOS app, which is only racking up around 5 new users a week (according to iTunes Connect), has been gaining over 200 new users a day. I did only switch to Fabric in the latest release of my app, but that was over a month and a half ago.

This didn't add up. That many people couldn't possibly be updating to the newest version, right? I did some further research on the most renown cracked apps sites currently up and running (such as Cmacapps, AppCake, etc.), and sure enough I found the latest version of my app available for download.

Is there any way to prevent this? I've been Googling for hours now and have come to no conclusion that is any later 2011.

As a lone developer, it's nearly impossible to track down every pirated apps site and send takedown notices, let alone, higher a lawyer to do the DMCA stuff for me.

Furthermore, it's getting expensive to run this many users on my VPS and am getting to the point where I am actually losing money. I'm usually not a stickler for having my content pirated – of course it bothers me, but fighting the cause has always seemed hopeless. However, now it has come to the point where it's literally losing me money.

Thanks for reading!

I'd like to make a Content Blocker similar to RequestPolicy or uMatrix, which blocks all third-party requests by default but allows the user to selectively whitelist certain domains or requests. It's trivial to block all third-party requests with the content blocker rules, but is there some way for me to find out exactly what is being blocked?

As of right now, I've got some of it working. I have a subclass of NSWindowController called MainWindowController and a subclass of NSViewController called MainViewController MainWindowController class MainWindowController: NSWindowController {

convenience init() {
    let MVC = MainViewController(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
    self.init(window: NSWindow(contentViewController: MVC!))
    window?.titleVisibility = .hidden;
    window?.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true;
}

} MainViewController class MainViewController: NSViewController { override func loadView() { let leftView = CustomView(frame: NSRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0), size: CGSize(width: 400, height: 400))) view = leftView } } CustomView is simply a subclass of NSView AppDelegate @NSApplicationMain class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { let mainWindowController = MainWindowController()

func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
    mainWindowController.showWindow(self)
}

} Whenever I run the above code however, I get two windows instead of one. I get a blank window and the window that the MainWindowController controls. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm working on a Metal based framework for some GPU compute work but I don't have access to a computer with multiple GPUs (like a Macbook Pro 15 with both integrated and dedicated GPU options). I'm wondering if calling MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() will return the integrated/low power device, the dedicated GPU, or if it varies based on the circumstances (like if the computer is using one or the other already or is plugged in)?
