After replacing Big Sur OSX 11.0 with the latest 11.5, my app's AXObserverAddNotification methods fails. Here is sample code I tested from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/853833/how-can-my-app-detect-a-change-to-another-apps-window
AXUIElementRef app = AXUIElementCreateApplication(82695); // the pid for front-running Xcode 12.5.1
CFTypeRef frontWindow = NULL;
AXError err = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue( app, kAXFocusedWindowAttribute, &frontWindow );
if ( err != kAXErrorSuccess ){
NSLog(@"failed with error: %i",err);
}
NSLog(@"app: %@ frontWindow: %@",app,frontWindow);
'frontWindow' reference is never created and I get the error number -25204. It seems like the latest Big Sur 11.5 has revised the Accessibility API or perhaps there is some permission switch I am unaware of that would make things work. What am I doing wrong?
