How to deploy in cocoa app
Hi, I am trying to create an app in which i can lock & unlock my mac using a cocoa OS X app running on that computer. Its very easy to lock, but unlocking is an issue, and then I came across this repo. Could you please give me some guidelines on how I can go about implementing the lock/unlock mechanism using this code?
Thanks!
Not exactly, I'm interested to unlock it using a cocoa app that is invoked by an http get it is listening to in the background
The simplest way would be to store the encrypted password somewhere, then decrypt it on the NameAndPassword side, fill the password field and programatically click the button:
Set the decrypted password as either mIPPasswordSecureTextField or mPPasswordSecureTextField (or both if necessary), then just run [self buttonPressed:SFButtonTypeOK]
(in this file: https://github.com/skycocker/NameAndPassword/blob/master/NameAndPasswordPlugin.m)
Do I run [self buttonPressed:SFButtonTypeOK] in my cocoa app? Do I understand correctly? Thanks so much!
Im essentially trying to understand how I invoke the bundle from my app.
No, not the cocoa app. You call it in this NameAndPassword code application. You need to form all your desired code in this application.
If I understood your needs correctly, you will need to move at least some part of your application code into the NameAndPassword .m files.
I wouldnt mind passing all of my code to it, although as far as reading all the stackoverflow threads it is to my understanding that i need to create a bundle beforehand and move it to a certain directory. I am trying to make a standalone mac app that involves locking and unlocking the mac, therefore i need to be able to invoke an unlock from it. Would i be able to run the nameandpassword entirely in my app, or must it be bundled?
