PhysCIP Dashboard Client

physdashclient is a simple macOS application written in Objective-C that opens the physdash website in a WebKit view without the need to start a full-fledged web browser. Its only purpose is to make it easy for computer lab users to find the place to create new accounts, reset their password etc.

Compilation

physdashclient can be compiled on any macOS device without any special requirements (apart from the usual development setup with an Objective-C compiler).

• Use make to compile physdashclient. This also creates the physdash.app Application Bundle.
• Use make run to compile and run physdashclient
• Use make clean to remove the binary and bundle files
• Use make dmg to create the physdash.dmg file to be deployed on all computer lab machines.

Add to dock

The provided physdash-dock.mobileconfig permanently adds physdashclient to the dock of every user on the system.
