Hi, First of all great tutorial. I was wondering if u could help me with my project by adding another scripts to run, in short I have to run 2 independent scripts, Thanks

where do i find the developer support folder

Can you deploy these on the App Store? I haven’t been able to do this. However we do use it a ton for testing.

[@AppleProgramming]

Unfortunately I don’t believe this is possible, but I’ll do a bit more digging.

Thank you for this tutorial. Is it possible to 1) check and 2) call other command line tools from a macOS GUI? I would like to do a .usdz conversion using Apples pyhton tools.

[@AppleProgramming]

If you want to call other command line tools, then using NSTask is the way to go.

[@artificeindustries]

Great tutorial! Thanks! Do you think it would be possible to make it work with entitlements?

[@AppleProgramming]

Unfortunately I don’t believe this is possible, but I’ll do a bit more digging.

How to change installation process to use CLI with app which is downloaded from AppStore? I heard it is possible with 'alias', but how?

[@AppleProgramming]

One day I'll probably follow up this mini-series with an App Store approach. All the App Store approaches ultimately involve your customer going into Terminal to "install" the tool. I guess you could either create an alias in your ~/.zshrc file (looks something like alias commandme="/Applications/.../commandme'"). Alternatively you can manually have the user execute the install script that we wrote in this series.

[@nickshv8727]

@@AppleProgramming It would be great. I decided to use instructions with symlink command and copy button) But of course, better to do it without asking to go to the terminal, if possible)

Why are tutorials made with such low voice? If you record with mic close to your mouth, you will end up speaking as if you’re talking to the person directly in his ear. The output is a monotonous unclear voice. This video is very helpful but the voice in most videos is too dull

[@AppleProgramming]

Just my voice. Making it louder will not change that 😅

[@pmishraofficial]

@@AppleProgramming your voice is great. A different voice delivery will make it better. Next time consider that the person you're talking to is sitting in front of you, a bit further away. Keep the mic slightly away from usual position (a few inches more). I'm hoping this can help :)

@@AppleProgrammingI’d rather your voice be deep than have it be high pitched and annoying. 👍
