The LaunchServices rebuilding task is useful when the user installed and deleted a lot of apps. macOS maintains snapshots without any problems. It is also possible to delete local Time Machine snapshots from this view, but I don’t see a good reason for it. Honestly, if you are having issues and suspect the problems with the drive integrity, I’d suggest using the First Aid option in the built-in Disk Utility app. The task in this subgroup can verify the structure of the file system. Most of the tasks aimed to clean various things on Macs. The Maintenance group consists of several subgroups of tasks. Follow the instructions provided by the app and give access.

Like all other cleaning apps, OnyX requires Full Access to the disk. Now, all you need to do is to drag the app to the Applications folder.

There were cases when hackers infected the software with malware (see below) and placed it on other Mac software download sites.įind the OnyX dmg file in the Downloads folder with the Finder and double click on the file. Note: only download the app from the french web site. Find the version of the app for your operating system and download it.

Now, when you know which OS is on the computer, go to the official site.

The first line in the pop-up screen is the name of the current OS.

In the drop-down menu click About This Mac menu option.

Click on Apple icon in the menu bar (top left corner of the screen).

So, the first thing you need to know is the OS you are running on your computer. Every time Apple comes with a new version of macOS (former OS/X), the developer releases a new version of their apps. While most other apps usually forward compatible, the developer chose a different approach. On its main page, the Titan Software, the maker of OnyX and Deeper apps, warns users to download app versions for specific OS versions. Users use the tool for maintenance and optimization and as a central control panel for configuration. OnyX is a freeware utility for macOS developed by French software developer Joël Barrière. Among them, OnyX from Titan Software has the longest history (started in 2003) and a very high reputation. There is a great number of cleaning apps, both free and paid. When there is a demand, there is a supply. People who don’t have enough space on their drives are looking for ways to clean unnecessary junk and claim the space it took. People who were using Macs for a long time remember the times when their computers didn’t work correctly in some cases, and they want to run maintenance scripts designed to fix those flaws. The reasons for purchasing cleaning software are multiple.

How Apple could replace iOS jailbreaking features without compromising too much on security

With the difficulty of jailbreaking iOS increasing to the point where iOS vulnerabilities are extremely valuable, many have been posting ideas on how Apple could replace jailbreaking. I thought I’d give my view on it, as someone who has a general idea of how iOS’s internals work (on a userland level).

The order of items in this list starts with those that impact security the least (and are most likely for Apple to accept if they were listening to user suggestions) to those that could impact security to a certain level (although I explain how the security concerns may be mitigated)

These ideas build on existing iOS functionality (such as sandboxing, XPC and Remote Views) as well as on existing UNIX functionality (chroot) to show how iOS may be expanded with its existing security features.

Small iOS feature enhancements

External Storage support in Files app (iOS 11+) and 3rd party apps

The Files app (on iOS 11+) and Document picker should allow access to external storage (either SD cards or USB flash drives/hard drives) that are plugged into the device via the Camera Connection Kits. This would greatly improve the iPad’s versatility.

More App Extensions

Lock Screen Replacements

Lock Screen replacements are a fairly popular category of tweaks. Being able to replace the lock screen will allow a vast amount of customization, considering the lock screen is the first thing a user sees when the device is turned on/woken up from sleep. Based on how Apple implemented some other extension categories in iOS 8, it is a no-brainer how this may be implemented.

SpringBoard can load a remote view controller so the lock screen runs out of process, loading in a view from a plugin provided by an app. This would allow the plugin to be sandboxed, and would prevent it from leaking information on notifications to another app or to a remote server.

Notifications and alarm information can be delivered to the plugin via XPC, allowing it to display them in its custom view without having to load any code into SpringBoard.

APIs should also be added for the plugin to be able to query basic information (should the plugin hide the status bar), such as carrier name, cell signal strength, and wifi signal strength. (APIs already exist for querying bluetooth status and battery percentage)

Weather information, etc. may be accessed by these plugins via read-only access to its parent app. The parent app may refresh weather information (using Background App Refresh introduced on iOS 7) and provide it to the plugin, although the plugin may not send any information back to the app.

Multitasking switcher and control center replacements

The multitasking switcher and control center may both load remote views from app plugins similar to how the custom lock screen implementation would work. These plugins would be sandboxed so they can't write out information to their parent app or connect to external servers. These would only run when the app switcher or control center are open and on screen.

The control center plugins would get APIs to toggle settings, as well as the ability to launch apps and get a list of apps installed.

The multitasking switcher plugins would get APIs to query a list of display items (either an app or 2 split viewed apps) open, the list of apps installed, screenshots of the display items, and have the ability to switch to display items, or quit out of display items.

As these plugins would be sandboxed, they can't leak any of this information out or change settings when requested to by a remote server.

System-wide accessible shared app files

An app, should it decide to, should be able to share a folder system-wide with other plugins or apps. This would work similarly to document storage providers introduced with iOS 8, but would have special properties.

This folder may be written to only by the app that is sharing the files

Other apps and plugins will only be able to read from this folder

The parent app may also set a property that will indicate to whether they should or shouldn’t display the files in a docoument picker (if they’re meant for internal use in a plugin only)

LaunchServices icon providers (Theming Engines)

Apps should be able to register a plugin with LaunchServices as an “icon provider”. This would allow a plugin to provide icons to LaunchServices to replace app icons on the home screen, document providers, settings app, etc. (Basically enabling theming engines). When enabled, the plugin will receive a dictionary of app bundle ID’s and the app’s icons (and alternate icons). The plugin can then go through the dictionary and either run render stages or simply replace the icons outright, and return the dictionary to launchservices when its done. Plugins may be stacked in this way to allow multiple themes. Icons will then be cached on disk so they don’t need to be rendered again unless either an app is installed (where just that app icon will be rendered) or another icon provider is installed (where icons will be re-rendered).

Icon provider plugins will only have read access to their parent app, thus preventing them from possibly leaking information about the apps installed on the device.

Developer features that can be accessible to everyone

XCode for iPad

Apple has been touting the iPad (especially the iPad Pro) as a device that can replace a laptop. However, to be able to replace laptops for everyone, the iPad needs to be able to build apps for iPhone and itself. When paired with either a bluetooth or smart keyboard, split view, and Apple pencil, XCode should be a good experience on the iPad.

Terminal w/ chroot

A terminal with a bash shell may be provided for iOS devices so traditional UNIX tools may run on iOS devices, especially iPads, to go alongside XCode. This shell may run inside a chroot that is distributed via the app store (similar to how Windows Subsystem for Linux gets its chroot). Code-signing rules may be relaxed within this chroot, as executables running inside the chroot can’t access anything outside it (thus not compromising the rest of the device’s security). However, sandbox may be used on top of the chroot to prevent direct hardware access within the chroot. This chroot, however, may be browsed as a folder from the Files app. Should anything go wrong with the chroot, the entire chroot may be deleted and redownloaded without affecting any apps running on the device.

Changes to iOS to facilitate tweak security

Before I go into how tweaks can be implemented on iOS, here’s some aspects of iOS that can be hardened to enhance security.

App Transport Security

App Transport Security was introduced in iOS 9 where apps should specify which domains they require access to, and whether they need just HTTPS access or if they really need HTTP access.

The App Store should check apps going through it and enforce that apps specify domains rather than allowing access to all domains (unless there is a very, very specific reason to allow all domains)

Sandbox SpringBoard

SpringBoard may be sandboxed so it may not access the network, and that it may not access app sandboxes (except read-only access to the folders designated by apps as accessible system-wide)

Tweak Store/Unsigned code Toggle

The following ideas will probably never be accepted by Apple, but we can dream right?

Tweak Store

A setting may be enabled to allow access to a special section of the App Store called the “Tweak Store”

Unlike regular apps or plugins, these will come with no guarantee from Apple of working, and the user will install them following an agreement to a disclaimer and a device wipe + reactivation. When tweaks are enabled on the device, a warning screen with text should be displayed on boot.

This warning screen screen on boot will either time out in 10 seconds, where the device beeps and then boots, or the user may press both volume buttons immediately to acknowledge the warning and boot (similar to Chrome OS’s verified boot). The device will then boot with a differently colored apple logo (not white, black or red – red is reserved for the next mode).

However, the root filesystem will still be read-only, and secure boot, KPP/memprot, code-signing and sandbox are still in effect, and the root filesystem may not be browsed from the Files app. Data protection will still be provided by the SEP.

Also, should the phone have any issues, these tweaks may be the first thing disabled or removed by Apple Support.

Load dylibs into processes

Dylibs may be loaded into SpringBoard (which is now sandboxed), or App Processes (which should be protected by App Transport Security). Sandboxing and App Transport security is in effect, so these dylibs will only get read access to the folder that was made accessible system-wide by their parent app.

A filter plist may be provided alongside these dylibs (similar to Cydia Substrate) to specify which processes these dylibs should be loaded into.

These dylibs may swizzle Objective-C methods, use Swift reflections, or may interpose C functions to modify SpringBoard’s or App processes. However, they may not leak any information out, as they will be prevented from writing to their parent app from processes other than their parent app, and will be domain restricted from accessing the dylib’s author’s servers from most apps (including SpringBoard).

These dylibs are still signed, however, and must pass approval through Apple before being allowed to install (unless a 7-day free cert or 1 year dev cert is used for the specific device, like normal app signing).

Almost all functionality missing, if any, from the plugins mentioned previously may be implemented using these dylibs.

Root Access + Code Signing Disable + Relaxed Sandbox

Should the above not be enough, a 2nd toggle may be accessible to enable full access. Similar to enabling the tweak store, this will require an agreement to a disclaimer acknowledging no warranty will be provided on the software, followed by a device wipe + reactivation.

Similar to the tweak store being enabled, this mode also displays a warning screen on boot, however the auto-boot timeout should be increased to 30 seconds, and the Apple logo on boot should be red. If a device in this mode is taken in to Apple Support, the device should be wiped and reset back to stock iOS before service.

Secure boot, KPP/memprot and sandboxing are still in effect. Code signing is still in effect, but any signature should be allowed, regardless of executable location on the filesystem. The root filesystem will be mounted as read/write, and the Files app will display and be able to read/write to the root filesystem. (Although the kernel and bootloader may not be changed or the device will stop booting outright).

Sandboxing rules, however, will be relaxed slightly, to allow XPC services to be hosted from SpringBoard, and a special folder will be created on the filesystem which any app or plugin may read and write to.

Also, in this mode, tweaks may hook any process, and terminal may access the root filesystem rather than a chroot.

This mode is basically the equivalent of a jailbroken device, and will satisfy any jailbreaking needs.

Business Benefits of Mobile Application Marketing

In today's technologically advanced generation, a smartphone is no longer just an option but has become a very basic necessity. The ease and convenience of doing most of the things online using a phone have created a broadway where most people have shifted their focus on. And having an app of your business in this competitive platform can reap a larger benefit for you on a long term. But that is just not enough anymore as you need to have skills and expertise to make your app on the top of the list. Thanks to app marketing services that can add value to your business in the mobile world.

Creating a buzz about your upcoming app Whether it is your first ever app or relaunching existing one with new features and upgrades, creating a buzz helps in attracting more users. A mobile app marketing company knows what it takes to steal the show among the crowd for your app. They are well versed with various techniques and skills to make even your smallest app look big. This kind of buzz can really get you best initial response when you actually launch your app on the market. It is like advertising those new movies to make cinema halls house-full the first day. This trick always works but what it takes is the right approach which an appmarketingcompany can accomplish.

Right time to launch your app Once your app is ready to go, you cannot just blindly choose your favourite date, day or time for the launch. It requires a certain strategy and AppPRServices can help you with the ideal time for launch. There are certain techniques using which you can know the time when most people are available to experience your app. It is like knowing that all tickets are sold and you are good to go with the show. But it is not easy as it sounds, and it requires specific skills and techniques you must use to make that strategy work. This is part of the app pre-launchservices that you can avail from the app marketing company.

Building a user community The best way to anticipate how many people would be interested in your app is by creating a community of users. This is like building a prospect list for any new business or product. It takes a great deal of effort and skills to gather a large number of users for your app community. An AppPR company can really help you in building you a user base. They even take care of promotion of your app and sending constant messages to the community, creating feedback surveys, etc. These techniques will not only help you know how many people are interested but you can use the feedback to further improve your app. This way, you can easily know what people are expecting from your app and you can make changes or add stuff accordingly.

Post-launch app marketing The most crucial part once the app is launched is marketing it to grab more users to install them. With right appsmarketing strategies, you could easily reach your target. And when you rely on an experienced app marketing company, you can easily achieve those results. They can take care of online campaigns, ads within the app market, video marketing, social media and various other techniques to help make your app popular. And marketing once launched is not a one-time activity but an ongoing task to constantly remind people about the benefits of your app. They even take care of broadcasting any new updates you make or each time you add a new feature. This also involves telling people what your app is all about and how it is different from the others in that category. Highlighting the benefits of your app for the users is also very important and easily diverts the attention of people using other apps.

Maintaining relationship with the users

For your app users, it is very important that you stay in a healthy relationship with them. That includes taking feedback and working towards it, coming up with new upgrades to support new devices and operating systems, etc. And each time you add something new in your app, you must ensure to keep your users in the loop so they can benefit. You must constantly do research on the apps of your competitors in the market and see how you can make your app a better one. Overall, when you hire the services of appmarketingcompany, you are sure to make your app the best in the market. This will help you grow your business and earn the trust of your customers too.

A URL Scheme is like "http://..." or "ftp://...". Those seem like a very low-level concept that you don't have much control over, but actually, you do! What sounds like an exotic topic is not so exotic at all: we are constantly using different URL Schemes, on any given day. For example when we're clicking a link to an iPhone app that launches the AppStore. Or when a friend sends us a link to a playlist and it opens in the Spotify desktop app.

In the following short tutorial, we'll look at how custom URL schemes work on macOS and iOS.

URL Schemes and Document Types

Any macOS or iOS application can register itself as a handler for any URL scheme (like "http" or "https") or document type (like "txt" files). Apart from those classics, however, an app can also register its own, custom URL scheme or document format.

If an app wants to indicate that it supports a certain document type or URL scheme, its "Info.plist" file has to be configured appropriately: the CFBundleDocumentTypes key lists the document types that the app supports, while CFBundleURLTypes is used for supported URL schemes.

In your own app, you can configure this easily via Xcode's project settings: the "Info" tab offers sections for both "Document Types" and "URL Types". The URL scheme can be any string we like (as long as it remains a valid URL format).

Xcode Project Settings

This enables the application to work with the configured types, for example, when opening files from Finder with "Open With" or handing off documents from one application to another on iOS.

Use Cases for Custom URL Schemes

In general, registering your own custom scheme allows you to route events directly to your application. When the user opens a URL with this scheme. As an example, let's look at Tower, the Git desktop client that my team makes: opening the link "gittower://openRepo/http://github.com/jquery/jquery.git" on your machine will launch Tower and open the "Clone" dialog, with the appropriate clone URL pre-filled:

A custom URL scheme in action in the Tower Git client

Another use case for us is to make registering Tower easier for our users. After purchasing a license, our customers receive an email that contains a link like this one: "gittower://activateLicense/CODE/NAME"

This will launch Tower (or bring it to front) and open the registration dialog with the license information pre-filled. This is much for comfortable than fumbling with copy and paste (only to notice that you missed a character or included unwanted ones...).

On iOS, the use cases are very similar: applications also make use of custom URL schemes to launch an application and then display a certain screen inside the app.

To make a long story short: custom URLs are a great way to deep-link into your application!

An Example App

Let's get our hands dirty and create our own application that handles a custom URL scheme. Let's call the app CustomURLScheme and have it handle a scheme called (of course!) foo.

The sample code for this little tutorial can be found here.

Registering Our Custom URL Scheme

The first step is to register the application as a handler for our custom URL scheme, in our project's Info.plist file:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Viewer</string> <key>CFBundleURLName</key> <string>com.example.CustomURLScheme</string> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>foo</string> </array> </dict> </array>

Thereby, we ceremoniously offer to take the role of "Viewer" for the URL scheme foo.

For more information and a detailed explanation of all the possible configuration keys, you can have a look at Apple's Property List Key Reference.

Handling Events from Your URL Scheme

The next step is to tell our application how to handle events that come in via our URL scheme. For iOS applications, this is as simple as implementing the following delegate:

func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool

For macOS applications, we need to tell NSAppleEventManager that our application wants to receive events for opening URLs and provide a callback method to handle the event.

We first create an empty method with the expected signature in our AppDelegate class:

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { } func applicationWillTerminate(_ aNotification: Notification) { } func handleAppleEvent(event: NSAppleEventDescriptor, replyEvent: NSAppleEventDescriptor) { } }

Then we call NSAppleEventManager's setEventHandler method from applicationDidFinishLaunching as follows:

func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { NSAppleEventManager.shared().setEventHandler(self, andSelector: #selector(self.handleAppleEvent(event:replyEvent:)), forEventClass: AEEventClass(kInternetEventClass), andEventID: AEEventID(kAEGetURL)) }

Now, if you'd build and run the application, the event would be correctly passed to our callback method - but it's still empty and won't do anything.

The callback methods receive the incoming event as event: NSAppleEventDescriptor. NSAppleEventDescriptor has lots of properties and methods. If you only care for the URL, the following implementation will do the trick:

func handleAppleEvent(event: NSAppleEventDescriptor, replyEvent: NSAppleEventDescriptor) { guard let appleEventDescription = event.paramDescriptor(forKeyword: AEKeyword(keyDirectObject)) else { return } guard let appleEventURLString = appleEventDescription.stringValue else { return } let appleEventURL = URL(string: appleEventURLString) print("Received Apple Event URL: \(appleEventURL)") }

So the final implementation for macOS looks like this:

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { NSAppleEventManager.shared().setEventHandler(self, andSelector: #selector(self.handleAppleEvent(event:replyEvent:)), forEventClass: AEEventClass(kInternetEventClass), andEventID: AEEventID(kAEGetURL)) } func applicationWillTerminate(_ aNotification: Notification) { } func handleAppleEvent(event: NSAppleEventDescriptor, replyEvent: NSAppleEventDescriptor) { guard let appleEventDescription = event.paramDescriptor(forKeyword: AEKeyword(keyDirectObject)) else { return } guard let appleEventURLString = appleEventDescription.stringValue else { return } let appleEventURL = URL(string: appleEventURLString) print("Received Apple Event URL: \(appleEventURL)") } }

Build and run the application and it should print the received URL to the debug console.

Once you have the URL, it's up to you to translate it into an action you want your application to perform.

Registering an App as the Default Handler

Apart from our own gittower scheme, Tower supports two additional ones: github-mac and sourcetree, because these schemes are used on github.com and bitbucket.com to open clone URLs in a desktop application. Of course we don't "blindly" overwrite other handlers! Users can explicitly choose to let Tower handle these URLs from GitHub and Bitbucket.

This is done with an interesting part of the CoreServices framework, the Launch Services API. Although the API is in C, it's quite easy to write a Swift wrapper for the required methods:

import Foundation import CoreServices class LaunchServices { class func applicationsForURLScheme(scheme: String) -> Array<String> { if let applications = LSCopyAllHandlersForURLScheme(scheme as CFString) { return applications.takeUnretainedValue() as Array<AnyObject> as! Array<String> } return [] } class func defaultApplicationForURLScheme(scheme: String) -> String? { if let defaultApplication = LSCopyDefaultHandlerForURLScheme(scheme as CFString) { return defaultApplication.takeUnretainedValue() as String } return nil } class func setDefaultApplicationForURLScheme(bundleIdentifier: String, scheme: String) -> Bool { let status = LSSetDefaultHandlerForURLScheme(scheme as CFString, bundleIdentifier as CFString) return (status == 0) } }

This helper class provides the following core functionalities:

applicationsForURLScheme – Retrieve a list of application bundle identifiers that have declared support for a particular URL scheme

defaultApplicationForURLScheme – Return the application bundle identifier of the current default handler of a particular URL scheme

setDefaultApplicationForURLScheme – Set the default handler of a particular URL scheme to a new application bundle identifier

The macOS example project demonstrates how to use this class: it displays a list of all applications for a particular URL scheme, with the default application preselected (don't worry: playing with the selection input does not change the default; it is read-only in this example).

Go Ahead, Create Your Own Scheme

Custom URL schemes are a great way to deep-link into your application and trigger actions. They are easy to set up (especially on iOS) and provide your users with convenient shortcuts when coming from other applications.

Have fun creating your own URL schemes!

Running XCode simulator results in "LaunchServicesError error 0."

Running XCode simulator results in “LaunchServicesError error 0.”

So, one moment you’re app was running fine in the simulator and the next moment you get an error saying  “The operation could not be completed. (LaunchServicesError error 0.)”

Bummer! When you check your logs (see ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/CoreSimulator.log or ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/[Device UDID]/system.log) you’ll find errors like “/.app did not have a CFBundleIdentifier in its…

Solving a "login loop" in Mac OS X Lion due to corrupt LaunchServices cache

Because it might help someone else Googling and it took me forever to find. I could no longer login to my account after a few system crashes due to bad RAM during the login process.

If you are suffering from a so-called "login loop" in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - ie. you login to your account and then suddenly you're back at the login prompt again - your LaunchServices cache might be corrupt.

If you check your Console from another user account and the Stack Trace for a bunch of login related processes (loginwindow etc) shows a crash in:

0   com.apple.LaunchServices       0x00007fff8fa7dd24 CSStoreGetUnit + 40

Then this may be the case.  Older articles around the internets refer to deleting the LaunchServices cache in /Library/Caches or ~/Library/Caches however on my Lion machine I couldn't find this file.

Where you'll actually find it is in:

/private/var/folders/XX/YY/C/com.apple.LaunchServices-034ZZZ.csstore

Where XX and YY are random names - your user account will only have access to your own, you'll need to look into each of the folders under "folders" and find which one is yours (ls -al will show ownership).

The ZZZ is your userid (a number - the first user on the machine is 501 and so on).

Delete this file and you should be able to login! 

Note that this cache stores all of your customised file associations and things like default browser - so you'll lose those settings. It might even lose your "Login Items" you've configured, but I can't be sure that wasn't one of the other files I'd previously deleted that stored that :)

Took me about 3 hours of mucking around and searching for clues on the Internet to find that bugger!
