I have 2 SOAP services that I want to call from an IPad app.
One is used to Log the user in (SecurityASMX), the other is one that returns the current username (SecuredCalls) once logged in.
I can call the SecurityASMX no problem using the following code. The Async call callback is operation :
- (IBAction) OnButtonClick:(id) sender {
bindingSecurity = [[SecurityASMXSvc SecurityASMXSoapBinding] initWithAddress:#"http://myserver/Azur.IPADTest.Web.Services/public/Security.asmx"];
bindingSecurity.logXMLInOut = YES;
SecurityASMXSvc_Login *requestLogin = [[SecurityASMXSvc_Login alloc] init];
requestLogin.strUsername = #"test";
requestLogin.strPassword = #"testpass";
[bindingSecurity LoginAsyncUsingParameters:requestLogin delegate:self];
[requestLogin release];
self.label.text = #"Login in progress";
}
- (void) operation:(SecurityASMXSoapBindingOperation *)operation completedWithResponse:(SecurityASMXSoapBindingResponse *)response
{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:2.0];
self.label.text = #"Login Done!";
}
This works fine.
However, in the same code file, I have a binding to my second web service to return the username with the following code. The async call callback is operationSecure :
- (IBAction) OnButtonSecureCallClick:(id) sender {
bindingSecuredCalls = [[SecureCallsSvc SecureCallsSoapBinding] initWithAddress:#"http://myserver/Azur.IPADTest.Web.Services/private/SecureCalls.asmx"];
bindingSecuredCalls.logXMLInOut = YES;
SecureCallsSvc_ReturnUserName *requestReturnUserName = [[SecureCallsSvc_ReturnUserName alloc] init];
[bindingSecuredCalls ReturnUserNameAsyncUsingParameters:requestReturnUserName delegate:self];
[requestReturnUserName release];
self.label.text = #"Get UserName In Progress";
}
- (void) operationSecure:(SecureCallsSoapBindingOperation *)operation completedWithResponse:(SecureCallsSoapBindingResponse *)response
{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:2.0];
self.label.text = #"Get Username Done!";
}
The problem is that when the call to ReturnUserName returns, the method that gets called is the one for the login (operation) and not the one I want (operationSecure).
How can I tell my second webservice binding to call the second callback?
Thanks!
First thing would be to check if the API you're using (I assume it's a third party API) allows you to specify the callback method.
If not, you can work with the operation parameter and use isKindOfClass to see what is actually being passed.
- (void) operation:(SecurityASMXSoapBindingOperation *)operation completedWithResponse:(SecurityASMXSoapBindingResponse *)response
{
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:2.0];
if([operation isKindOfClass:[SecurityASMXSoapBindingOperation class]])
{
self.label.text = #"Login Done!";
}
else if([operation isKindOfClass:[SecureCallsSoapBindingOperation class]])
{
self.label.text = #"Get Username Done!";
}
}
Ideally you'd set the type of operation and response parameters to be the superclass of the respective objects returned.

With file access in a sandboxed osx app with swift in mind, does it work the same with URLs provided via Finder or other apps drops?
As there's no NSOpenPanel call to afford folder access as in this example, just urls - I think the folder access is implicit since the user dragged the file from the source / desktop "folder" much the same as implicit selection via the open dialog.
I have not begun the sandbox migration yet but wanted to verify my thinking was accurate, but here's a candidate routine that does not work in sandbox mode:
func performDragOperation(_ sender: NSDraggingInfo!) -> Bool {
let pboard = sender.draggingPasteboard()
let items = pboard.pasteboardItems
if (pboard.types?.contains(NSURLPboardType))! {
for item in items! {
if let urlString = item.string(forType: kUTTypeURL as String) {
self.webViewController.loadURL(text: urlString)
}
else
if let urlString = item.string(forType: kUTTypeFileURL as String/*"public.file-url"*/) {
let fileURL = NSURL.init(string: urlString)?.filePathURL
self.webViewController.loadURL(url: fileURL!)
}
else
{
Swift.print("items has \(item.types)")
}
}
}
else
if (pboard.types?.contains(NSPasteboardURLReadingFileURLsOnlyKey))! {
Swift.print("we have NSPasteboardURLReadingFileURLsOnlyKey")
}
return true
}
as no URL is acted upon or error thrown.
Yes, the file access is implicit. As the sandbox implementation is poorly documented and had/has many bugs, you want to work around URL and Filenames. The view should register itself for both types at initialisation. Code is in Objective-C, but API should be the same.
[self registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSFilenamesPboardType, NSURLPboardType, nil]];
Then on performDragOperation:
- (BOOL)performDragOperation:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
BOOL dragPerformed = NO;
NSPasteboard *paste = [sender draggingPasteboard];
NSArray *typesWeRead = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSFilenamesPboardType, NSURLPboardType, nil];
//a list of types that we can accept
NSString *typeInPasteboard = [paste availableTypeFromArray:typesWeRead];
if ([typeInPasteboard isEqualToString:NSFilenamesPboardType]) {
NSArray *fileArray = [paste propertyListForType:#"NSFilenamesPboardType"];
//be careful since this method returns id.
//We just happen to know that it will be an array. and it contains strings.
NSMutableArray *urlArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[fileArray count]];
for (NSString *path in fileArray) {
[urlArray addObject:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
}
dragPerformed = //.... do your stuff with the files;
} else if ([typeInPasteboard isEqualToString:NSURLPboardType]) {
NSURL *droppedURL = [NSURL URLFromPasteboard:paste];
if ([droppedURL isFileURL]) {
dragPerformed = //.... do your stuff with the files;
}
}
return dragPerformed;
}
I am using the following CKNotification Info and this seems to work fine:
CKNotificationInfo *note = [[CKNotificationInfo alloc] init];
note.alertBody = #"Something Happened";
note.shouldBadge = NO;
note.shouldSendContentAvailable = NO;
When something changes on an iOS device, my Mac app receives a Push notification based on a subscription with this notification. However, didReceiveRemoteNotification is never called so I can't process the event. I need to be able to refresh and fetch new changes. How do I do that?
Calling registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: and implementing didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:
should be enough code, and the App ID should include the Push Notifications service.
I'm using CloudKit in a cross-platform (iOS/OS X) app to synchronize favorites between devices like so:
// OS X specific code
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
[NSApp registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:NSRemoteNotificationTypeNone];// silent push notification!
}
- (void)application:(NSApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
[self.favCon handleCloudKitNotificationWithUserInfo:userInfo];
}
Note the usage of NSRemoteNotificationTypeNone which means silent push notification! This is how I set up CloudKit in the FavController class:
- (void)getOrCreateFavZoneWithCompletionHandler:(successCompletionHandler)handler {
// check if FavZone exists op
__block int createZone = 0;
CKFetchRecordZonesOperation *fetchRecZonesOp = [[CKFetchRecordZonesOperation alloc] initWithRecordZoneIDs:#[[FavController favRecordZoneID]]];
CKModifyRecordZonesOperation *saveRecZoneOp = [[CKModifyRecordZonesOperation alloc] initWithRecordZonesToSave:nil recordZoneIDsToDelete:nil];
fetchRecZonesOp.fetchRecordZonesCompletionBlock = ^(NSDictionary *recordZonesByZoneID, NSError *operationError) {
if (recordZonesByZoneID.count == 0) {// zone doesn't exist
createZone = 1;
CKRecordZone *favZone = [[CKRecordZone alloc] initWithZoneName:UTXAFavZoneName];
saveRecZoneOp.recordZonesToSave = #[favZone];
NSLog(#"Creating new Zone %#", favZone.zoneID.zoneName);
} else {
NSLog(#"Zone %# already exists.", [FavController favRecordZoneID].zoneName);
}
};
// create FavZone op
saveRecZoneOp.modifyRecordZonesCompletionBlock = ^(NSArray *savedRecordZones, NSArray *deletedRecordZoneIDs, NSError *operationError) {
[self successCompletionHandler:(savedRecordZones.count == createZone) error:operationError informDelegate:YES handler:handler];
};
[saveRecZoneOp addDependency:fetchRecZonesOp];
[[FavController favDatabase] addOperation:fetchRecZonesOp];
[[FavController favDatabase] addOperation:saveRecZoneOp];
}
- (void)subscribeToFavChanges:(successCompletionHandler)handler {
// get current subscription
[[FavController favDatabase] fetchSubscriptionWithID:UTXAFavConCKSubscriptionID completionHandler:^(CKSubscription *subscription, NSError *error) {
if (subscription) {
NSLog(#"using existing subscription: %#", subscription);
[self successCompletionHandler:YES error:nil informDelegate:NO handler:handler];
} else {
CKSubscription *sub = [[CKSubscription alloc] initWithZoneID:[FavController favRecordZoneID]
subscriptionID:UTXAFavConCKSubscriptionID
options:0];// "You must specify 0 for this parameter. Zone subscriptions currently do not support any options."
[[FavController favDatabase] saveSubscription:sub completionHandler:^(CKSubscription *subscription, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"created new subscription: %# %#", subscription, error);
[self successCompletionHandler:(error == nil) error:error informDelegate:YES handler:handler];
}];
}
}];
}
As soon as I add or remove a record on one device, I'll get a notification on all other device, which I handle like so in the FavController class:
/// #abstract Handle push notifications sent by iCloud.
/// #discussion App delegates call this method when they receive a push notification through didReceiveRemoteNotification.
/// Currently, only airport favorites produce a PN, it is of type CKNotificationTypeRecordZone.
/// #param userInfo The userInfo dict tied to each push notification.
- (void)handleCloudKitNotificationWithUserInfo:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
[self recursivelyCheckForPreviousCloudKitNotifications];
}
- (void)recursivelyCheckForPreviousCloudKitNotifications {
CKFetchNotificationChangesOperation *fetchOp = [[CKFetchNotificationChangesOperation alloc] initWithPreviousServerChangeToken:_defCon.notificationChangeToken];
__weak CKFetchNotificationChangesOperation *weakOp = fetchOp;
fetchOp.notificationChangedBlock = ^(CKNotification *notification) {
[self handleNotification:notification];
};
fetchOp.fetchNotificationChangesCompletionBlock = ^( CKServerChangeToken *serverChangeToken, NSError *operationError) {
NSLog(#"new notification change token: %#", serverChangeToken);
_defCon.notificationChangeToken = serverChangeToken;
if (weakOp.moreComing) {
NSLog(#"more coming!!");
[self recursivelyCheckForPreviousCloudKitNotifications];
} else {
NSLog(#"done handling notification changes.");
}
};
[[FavController favContainer] addOperation:fetchOp];
}
- (void)handleNotification:(CKNotification *)notification {// withCompletionHandler:(successCompletionHandler)handler {
if (notification.notificationType == CKNotificationTypeRecordZone) {// make sure we handle only zone changes
CKRecordZoneNotification *noti = (CKRecordZoneNotification *)notification;
if ([noti.recordZoneID.zoneName isEqualToString:[FavController favRecordZoneID].zoneName]) {
// received an update for the fav zone
[self queuedFavUpdateFromCloud];
} else {
// received an update for an unknown zone
NSLog(#"WARNING: received an update for an unknown zone: %#", noti.recordZoneID.zoneName);
}
} else {
NSLog(#"WARNING: received unknown notification: %#", notification);
}
}
Okay I've finally figured it out. If you use a CKNotificationInfo for your alerts, didReceiveRemoteNotification will NOT be called on the Mac until and unless you set CKNotificationInfo.soundName to an empty string! This looks like a bug only in OS X (10.10 & 10.11 so far) but can be worked around by this simple change.
I've just implemented a share-button, that has a share menu:
[_shareButton sendActionOn:NSLeftMouseDownMask];
And has this action connected:
-(IBAction)share:(id)sender {
NSArray *shareArray = #[#"testShare"];
NSSharingServicePicker *sharingServicePicker = [[NSSharingServicePicker alloc] initWithItems:shareArray];
sharingServicePicker.delegate = self;
[sharingServicePicker showRelativeToRect:[sender bounds]
ofView:sender
preferredEdge:NSMinYEdge];
}
Now to my question, I don't want Facebook and Twitter to be an option in the menu. I only want E-Mail and Messages to be available. Also I would like to add "Print", but don't know if I can do that.
Is that possible?
Thanks
(Don't have enough rep points to add 'NSSharingService' as a tag)
Solved it by using proposedSharingServices.
- (NSArray *)sharingServicePicker:(NSSharingServicePicker *)sharingServicePicker sharingServicesForItems:(NSArray *)items proposedSharingServices:(NSArray *)proposedServices{
// Find and the services you want
NSMutableArray *newProposedServices = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:5];
for (NSSharingService *sharingService in proposedServices) {
if ([[sharingService title] isEqualToString:#"Email"] || [[sharingService title] isEqualToString:#"Message"]) {
[newProposedServices addObject:sharingService];
}
}
NSArray *services = newProposedServices;
NSSharingService *customService = [[NSSharingService alloc] initWithTitle:#"Print" image:[NSImage imageNamed:#"PrintImage"] alternateImage:nil handler:^{
// Do whatever
}];
services = [services arrayByAddingObject:customService];
return services;
}
Comparing a proposed service to a new named instance works. Here's a trivial Swift code from my project:
let excludedNames = [
NSSharingServiceNamePostOnFacebook,
NSSharingServiceNamePostOnTwitter,
]
var excludedServices = [NSSharingService]()
for name in excludedNames {
if let service = NSSharingService(named: name) {
excludedServices += [service]
}
}
return proposedServices.filter {
!excludedServices.contains($0)
}
No need to use a private name property.
Rather then trying to say what you don't want simply return a list of what you do want.
- (NSArray<NSSharingService *> *)sharingServicePicker:(NSSharingServicePicker *)sharingServicePicker sharingServicesForItems:(NSArray *)items proposedSharingServices:(NSArray<NSSharingService *> *)proposedServices
{
NSArray *result = #[[NSSharingService sharingServiceNamed:NSSharingServiceNameComposeEmail], [NSSharingService sharingServiceNamed:NSSharingServiceNameComposeMessage]];
return result;
}
A slightly different approach via proposedSharingServices:
- (NSArray*)sharingServicePicker:(NSSharingServicePicker *)sharingServicePicker sharingServicesForItems:(NSArray *)items proposedSharingServices:(NSArray *)proposedServices {
NSArray *excludedServices = #[NSSharingServiceNamePostOnFacebook,
NSSharingServiceNamePostOnTwitter];
NSArray *sharingServices = [proposedServices filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"NOT (name IN %#)", excludedServices]];
return sharingServices;
}
Here's a better way - no private API access required.
NSArray *excludedServices = #[NSSharingServiceNamePostOnFacebook,
NSSharingServiceNamePostOnTwitter];
NSMutableArray *includedServices = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSSharingService *service in proposedServices) {
if ([excludedServices indexOfObject:service] == NSNotFound) {
[includedServices addObject:service];
}
}
return includedServices;
I am having a little trouble using addoperationwithblock in Cocoa. Let's say I have a master function
-(IBAction) callthisone {
// Call another function "slave" here and store returned value in result
result = return value from slave
NSLog(#" result is %#",result);
}];
}
-(NSArray *) slave {
[operationQueue addOperationWithBlock: ^{
NSString * result = #"5" ;
}];
return result;
}
I can never get the result value returned in the master. How do I do this ? Is my approach correct ? Thanks
You may try something like this:
-(IBAction) callthisone {
[self slave: ^(NSString* result) {
NSLog(#" result is %#",result);
}
];
}
-(void)slave: (void(^)(NSString*)) callback {
[operationQueue addOperationWithBlock: ^{
NSString* str = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"5]";
callback(str);
}
];
}
Apple's documentation for addOperationWithBlock says:
Parameters
The block to execute from the operation object. The block should take
no parameters and have no return value.
These are meant for self contained block operations.
Could you try something different that does have more flexibility in terms of getting stuff in and out of the queue / thread? Maybe Grand Central Dispatch (I was just looking at this thread).
Why is that NSURLConnection's didCancelAuthenticationChallenge delegate method is never called, even after manually cancelling the Auth challenge (which in fact gets cancelled as supposed) ?
I paste some bits of the relevant code below, keep in mind that all other delegate methods are called as supposed EXCEPT for - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didCancelAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
Thanks for any help.
//Diego
...
NSURLConnection *serviceConnection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:serviceRequest delegate:self];
...
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {
NSUserDefaults *ud = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
if ([challenge previousFailureCount]) {
NSLog(#"Invalid credentials... Cancelling.");
[[challenge sender] cancelAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
// AT THIS POINT cancelAuthenticationChallenge HAS BEEN CALLED, YET, DELEGATE METHOD IS NOT CALLED.
} else {
if ([ud stringForKey:#"username"] && [ud stringForKey:#"password"]) {
NSLog(#"Service is trying to login with locally stored user and password from NSUserDefaults");
NSURLCredential *credential = [NSURLCredential credentialWithUser:[ud stringForKey:#"username"]
password:[ud stringForKey:#"password"]
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
[[challenge sender]useCredential:credential forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
} else {
[delegate STServiceNeedsLoginInfo:self];
}
}
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didCancelAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {
NSLog(#"Failed login with status code: %d", [(NSHTTPURLResponse*)[challenge failureResponse]statusCode]);
// THIS METHOD IS NEVER CALLED. WHY ?
}
I believe that delegate method is provided for if the connection cancels authentication, not you. e.g. if you took too long responding to a challenge, the connection could theoretically cancel auth.
