SDK deprecation

CharlesIC opened this issue · comments

Many SDKs used in the project (e.g. the LSSharedFileListCreate method) have been deprecated in macOS 10.12 (Sierra). They still work (for now?) but it's worth updating to the new Service Management framework. More info at these links:

Yeah many of the shared file list functions are going behind XPC so it's sfltool or nothing unfortunately.

OK, I wasn't able to find a new way of manipulating the SFL files that is meant to replace the deprecated methods in LSSharedFileList.h. Unless you need to remove an item, sfltool will do, otherwise the current method seems to be the way to go at least until the functionality gets removed from the OS.

I'll try to update it but otherwise we need a new method, you are correct

commented

Any update on this? Is there any replacement for the deprecated LSSharedFileList?

commented

Nope. There's API private to apple but we can't use it

In Mojave LSSharedFileListCreate and LSSharedFileListItemRemove are no longer. Only listing. So the last version were working is in High Sierra. Would be great to find another way to add and remove icons from favourites though

Not having a problem with this in Mojave @RicardoAnjos.
