How to implement Sparkle Update framework in a Sandboxed Mac app




.There seems to be a fork of Sparkle which supports Sandboxing. It’s current in beta. The install instructions are slightly confusing.


Download the latest build from https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/tree/ui-separation-and-xpc 


Open Terminal and cd into the directory


run ‘make release’


That will open up a directory with all the needed files.


The update signing is more important now in your appcast.


So, use /bin/generate_keys to generate dsa_pub.pem and dsa_priv.pem


The official repo should help you do that. 


 


Include 3 files into your project.


org.sparkle-project.InstallerConnection.xpc


org.sparkle-project.InstallerStatus.xpc


org.sparkle-project.InstallerLauncher.xpc


 


Now sign them with your Developer ID keys. You just need to do this once. So, I’m not putting them in the build phase.


 


./bin/codesign_xpc “Developer ID Application” org.sparkle-project.InstallerConnection.xpc


./bin/codesign_xpc “Developer ID Application” org.sparkle-project.InstallerStatus.xpc


./bin/codesign_xpc “Developer ID Application” org.sparkle-project.InstallerLauncher.xpc


 


 If your sandboxes app doesn’t have access to the internet from sandboxing, also include org.sparkle-project.Downloader.xpc


./bin/codesign_xpc “Developer ID Application” org.sparkle-project.Downloader.xpc –entitlements com.apple.security.network.client


 


After including these files in your project. Add a build phase that will copy the above files to the XPC Services folder.


 



 


To debug, open the Console.app and search for your app. The debug logs are quite helpful. I got stuck with not having the dsa_pub in the update I was trying to make.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
