StartAtLogin is a framework for Swift macOS apps looking to add a "Start at Login" feature with minimal work.
Current solutions require a significant amount of steps to implement, with lots of variables and frequently imprecise instructions. StartAtLogin gets rid of that:
StartAtLogin is App Store-approved and is currently being used in the app stts
Add StartAtLogin via Carthage:
Cartfile
github "inket/StartAtLogin"
Add a new build phase "Run Script Phase" to your app, with the following script:
FRAMEWORKS_HELPER_PATH="$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH/StartAtLogin.framework/Versions/A/Resources/StartAtLoginHelper.app"
HELPER_DIR="$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$CONTENTS_FOLDER_PATH/Library/LoginItems"
HELPER_PATH="$HELPER_DIR/StartAtLoginHelper.app"
mkdir -p "$HELPER_DIR"
rm -rf "$HELPER_PATH"
cp -rf "$FRAMEWORKS_HELPER_PATH" "$HELPER_DIR/"
if [ "$CONFIGURATION" == "Release" ]; then
rm -rf "$FRAMEWORKS_HELPER_PATH"
fi
defaults write "$HELPER_PATH/Contents/Info" CFBundleIdentifier -string "$PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER-StartAtLoginHelper"
codesign --force --entitlements "$CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS" -s "$EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY_NAME" -v "$HELPER_PATH"Use StartAtLogin in your app:
import StartAtLogin
// Enable
StartAtLogin.enabled = true
// Disable
StartAtLogin.enabled = false
// Check status
debugPrint(StartAtLogin.enabled)
