9. Adding Your Own Tasks

Written by Sarah Reichelt

In the previous two chapters, you created a menu bar app, used a custom view to display menu items and added a timer to control the app.

Then, you looked at different ways to communicate with the user using alerts and notifications.

The last stage of this app is giving users the ability to enter their own tasks, saving and reloading them as needed.

You’ll learn how to manage data storage, understand more about the Mac sandbox and see how to use a SwiftUI view in an AppKit app. Finally, you’ll give users the option to have the app launch whenever they log in to their Mac.

Storing Data

Before you can let users edit their tasks, you need to have a way of storing and retrieving them.

Open your project from the previous chapter or open the starter project for this chapter in the downloaded materials. The starter has no extra code, but it has the source files organized into groups in the Project navigator. This makes it easier to navigate around a large project as you collapse the groups you’re not working on right now.

Open the assets folder in the downloaded materials and drag DataStore.swift into the Models group. Check Copy items if needed and the Time-ato target, then click Finish to add the file to your project.

This file contains three methods:

1. dataFileURL() returns an optional URL to the data storage file. Right now, this returns nil, but you’re going to fix that shortly.
2. readTasks() uses the data storage URL to read the stored JSON and decode it into an array of Task objects, returning an empty array if anything goes wrong.
3. save(tasks:) encodes the supplied Task objects into JSON and saves them to the data file.

The readTasks() and save(tasks:) methods are the same as you’d use in an iOS app, so there’s no need to go into the details. But dataFileURL() is going to be interesting.

Finding the Data File

In order to save the data, you first need to work out where to save it. Replace return nil in dataFileURL() with:

// 0
bed jituHigunih = VuxuYovikac.gaziiqz

// 3
xe {
  // 1
  hoc xowkNifvon = vvl texaGaquqos.ihj(

The Mac Sandbox

When you run an app, on either macOS or iOS, the operating system protects itself and all your other apps and data, by keeping your app inside its own sandbox. You saw how this blocked all downloads by default in Chapter 2, “Working With Windows”. Now, you’re running into the way that it protects your files.

Retrieving Data

You saved the sample tasks to a file and confirmed where it actually is. Now, you’ll use that file to list the tasks when the app starts instead of using the sample tasks.

Opening the Sandbox

This app works perfectly inside the sandbox, without any extra permissions, but not all apps are the same. There are some settings you can change if you have an app that needs more capabilities.

Editing the Tasks

You’ve got the file handling working and tested. Now, it’s time to allow your users to edit their own tasks. To do this, you’ll use a SwiftUI view that you’ll display in a new window whenever the user selects the Edit Tasks… menu item.

Using Notification Center

To solve this, you’ll send a notification whenever you save the data. This isn’t a visible notification like you used in the last chapter. Instead, you’ll use the NotificationCenter to post an NSNotification. Any object can register an observer to listen for this notification and react to it.

Launching on Login

A utility app like this is the kind of app people want to have running all the time, and that means you need to add a way for the app to start when the user logs in.

Adding a Swift Package

You’ll use the Swift Package Manager to include this package in your app. If you’ve used SwiftPM in an iOS app, then this is a familiar process.

Using the New Library

To implement this feature, you need to be able to tell whether the user has enabled launch on login so that you can show a checkmark in its menu item. And, the menu item has to be able to toggle the setting.

Troubleshooting

If the app didn’t launch on login, it may be due to having too many old builds of the app on your hard drive. Deleting Xcode’s derived data will most likely fix it.

Using the App

You’re probably now thinking of using the app in your day-to-day work. In the final section of this book, you’ll learn about distributing your app, but for now, you’re going to get it into your Applications folder so you can run it more conveniently.

Challenges

Challenge: The About Box

If you select About Time-ato from the menu, the About box opens, but it’s in the background, so you may not be able to see it. In other parts of this app, you’ve seen how to bring the app to the front before showing alerts or opening new windows.

Key Points

• macOS apps operate inside a sandbox. This keeps their data and settings inside a container folder.
• Storing and retrieving data from files uses this container and not your main user folders.
• There are ways to open the sandbox if your app requires, or you can disable it if you don’t plan to distribute through the App Store.
• AppKit apps can contain SwiftUI views.
• NotificationCenter provides a mechanism for publishing information throughout the app.
• Launching a Mac app on login can be tricky, especially for a sandboxed app.
• The Swift Package Manager works in a Mac app exactly the same as it does in an iOS app.

Where to Go From Here?

You’ve reached the end of this section and of this app. You can probably think of lots of improvements to make to it, so go for it. Make it into the app that you want to use.
