XPC server from UI rather then from Daemon

[iradization]

Hi,

I was thinking about modifying the code to make the UI display results that were actually sent from the daemon. This means that UI and Daemon will switch roles.

Unfortunately, I don't see the connection working... in project documentation is said that the XPC server must reside on daemon that ran from launchd. Perhaps that may explain my problem, but perhaps you can think of possible way to activate the xpc listener from the UI rather then the server ?

thanks

You can design your launchd daemon (The XPC Service/listener) so that it starts itself, but does nothing until it receives some command from the UI. this is NOT switching roles - The XPC Service still performs the service - only it is controlled by The XPC protocol. you can start with this project as is, and gradually enhance The XPC protocol commands until they fit your bill. Maybe you don't even need this project as your base - most XPC Services do NOT run constantly as daemons, but are launched by 'launchd' in response to commands sent to them.
