ProcessService

System to host an executable within an XPC service.

Integration

Swift Package Manager

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/ChimeHQ/ProcessService")
]

Usage

To interact with the service:

import ProcessServiceClient

let userEnv = try await HostedProcess.userEnvironment(with: "com.myxpcservice")

let process = HostedProcess(named: "com.myxpcservice", parameters: params)
let data = try await process.runAndReadStdout()

Here’s now to make an XPC service. Make sure to match up the service bundle id with the name you use.

// main.swift

import Foundation

final class ServiceDelegate: NSObject, NSXPCListenerDelegate {
    func listener(_ listener: NSXPCListener, shouldAcceptNewConnection newConnection: NSXPCConnection) -> Bool {
        do {
            try newConnection.configureProcessServiceServer()
        } catch {
            return false
        }
        
        newConnection.activate()

        return true
    }
}

let delegate = ServiceDelegate()
let listener = NSXPCListener.service()

listener.delegate = delegate
listener.resume()
