Is there any way or function that can be used to obtain the expose effect in Mac, when a button is clicked?
I tried searching, but I had no luck, so far.
There is no API for this. AFAIK the only way to do it is to use NSWorkspace to launch either the Exposé app (Mac OS X versions < 10.7) or the Mission Control app (Mac OS X versions >= 10.7).
This code uses the com.apple.exposelauncher bundle ID which is the same for all versions of Mac OS X that ship with Exposé:
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchAppWithBundleIdentifier:#"com.apple.exposelauncher"
options:NSWorkspaceLaunchDefault
additionalEventParamDescriptor:NULL
launchIdentifier:NULL];

I'm looking for a new testautomation tool to test our responsive web application for different devices (Windows Phone, Android, Iphone, Ipad etc). Maybe it is a misunderstanding, but do I need a Mac computer to test a web application through a Ipad or Iphone. For a tool like SilkMobile this is not necessary.
See:
http://appium.io/slate/en/v1.1.0/?ruby#running-appium-on-mac-os-x
I hope you can help me out.
You can use virtual machine to run OS X and iOS emulator.
To test ios applications on IPad or Iphone through appium, Mac ios x 10.7 or higher is required.
you may not need real devices like iphone or ipad, you can use simulators, But Mac PC or Book is required. [Or can be virtually installed in VMware workstation]
See the requirements, Appium requirments
Is any default method to run MAC OSX application from another MAC OSX application instead of fork + exec. Language c/objective c ?
There are a variety of options.
Launch Services for C.
NSWorkspace & NSTask in Cocoa.
The open command-line utility.
I have written an OSX 10.9+ app which works fine on all my test machines but two people with laptops have so far said the app opens (shows light under icon) but shows no window but will show the menu for the app with no drop down, it can highlight but does nothing else.
I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening. I have checked Initial Controller is set in the storyboard. The plist looks ok. No complaints in console. Works on an old iMac from 2007, a Mac Pro 6 core and a New Retina iMac all with Yosemite.
Both cases where it doesn't open are on OSX 10.9.5
This is the screenshot of how it should look when opened:
The app is currently available for free, if anybody can shed some light on it I would be much appreciated.

Storyboards are not compatible with OS X prior to v10.10:
NSStoryBoard Class Reference
Availability
Available in OS X v10.10 and later.
I experienced the same thing with a project; only nib/xibs work for OS X < v10.10.
I can't find any information on how to enable App Sandboxing with XCode on Snow Leopard? It seems like it's not possible but maybe one of you experts can confirm this or is there any workaround possible? Any hint will be valuable.
Thanks!
If you're going to develop a Sandboxed app, you really should be developing on at least 10.7.5 (preferably 10.9.1 at this point), since 10.7 was the first version of OS X to support sandboxing. Even if you could manage to build a sandboxing-enabled app on 10.6.8, you won't be able to properly test it.
I'm looking for a way to modify the persistent dock menu of an application when said application is not running, or at least trying to find out if this is even possible?
I'm using Xcode and Cocoa in Mac OS X version >= 10.5
Thanks in advance
If your app is not in the App Store and does not use sandboxing, you can implement a NSDockTilePlugIn
