How am I supposed to open the Safari Extension Preferences window with the user click of a button in macOS Catalyst? It looks like the API is not available for Catalyst.
You could try with an AppleScript
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
keystroke "," using command down
click button 9 of toolbar 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell
The button 9 of the toolbar should be the extension panel
You could look in this answer to execute the AppleScript inside the code of your application
Can you execute an Applescript script from a Swift Application

I am working on a custom Safari extension and would like to debug the Background scripts. I am not certain how to do this? Ideally, if there was a way to step into the background scripts, that would be great. But when I try to step into a background call, the Safari debugger just steps to the next line. The console.log within the background scripts do not get printed to the console (This is the console I launched from right clicking a popover that is part of the extension and then hitting inspect).
Any help on this would be great. Thank you.
This is an old question that asks about a different type of Safari extensions but I figured it could be helpful to add an updated answer now that Safari (v14) supports the Web Extensions API (similar to the API that all other major browsers use).
Debugging background scripts is now built into the Safari menu in the toolbar: "Develop" => "Web Extension Background Pages" => select your (enabled) extension. That should open the dev tools with all your background scripts where you can set breakpoints, check the network tab, etc..
As a side note, you can debug your extension's popup by opening it, right clicking the popup and clicking "Inspect Element".
In case this comes useful for someone - I figured out a way to view console statements in the background scripts. Open the extension builder and click on Inspect Global Page. Go to the console tab and the console.log messages in the background scripts will be printed in that console.
Now you can use Safari Preview to debug your Safari App Extension. There is a control to select the extension container at the lower-right corner of the console.
I'm using Mac OSX 10.9. I made the settings in system preferences->Dock->select "Minimise windows into application icon". The desktop application(objective c) which i created opens a popup window on clicking a button. Once minimised that popup window to the dock i'm unable to maximise it again. Even i tried the function - (BOOL)applicationShouldHandleReopen. But its not responding.
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks in advance
I had created a mac app in Xcode, and i would like to create a file out of it , so that it will be a regular program on my mac, which i can run on startup , and send to other people.
I don't know if it has to be a .dmg , , or something else.
I have tried this link to do that, but the dmg is just a file that when i open, shows me the Xcode project and not run the app as like any other mac app :
Creating a .DMG (dbf answer and marc answer)

EDIT
I can see lots of people just taking the .app from Xcode, to use as the desktop app . but for me, when i click this file .app . nothing is happens, (it open and than closed)
Thanks.
Open your project in Xcode.
In the "Products" folder on the left-hand side of the Xcode window, select .app
In the "Product" menu, select "Archive."
When Xcode has finished building your project, the Archive window will open.
On the right, near the top is an "Export..." button. Click it.
You have several options for creating your Archive. The last one is: Export as a Mac Application. That option will simply save your project as an ordinary Mac application. Click it.
You'll then be presented with a dialog in which you can select the destination folder for your application. Choose where you want your application saved, and click "Export."
In the "Finder" go to the same folder you just selected and your application will be there.
~~
To make your application open when you log into your account on your computer, open "System Preferences," select "Users & Groups," select the "Login Items" tab, click on the "+" button, find your application, click on the "Add" button.

Let's say I have the following line of Android code:
MyClass myClass = (MyClass) intent.getExtras().getSerializable("SomeKey");
How can I make IntelliJ/Android Studio open a browser and navigate to the following URI when hitting F1 while the cursor has marked "getSerializable"?

Is there a plugin for this maybe?
