Implement application delegate to automatically open MacDependency's own binary as an example when launched without arguments, while supporting command-line arguments to open specific files. ## New Features * **Auto-open example**: When launched with no arguments, MacDependency automatically opens and displays its own binary, providing an immediate working example for users * **Command-line support**: Users can now open specific files from the command line, supporting both absolute and relative paths * **Multiple file support**: Open multiple files simultaneously, each in a separate document window ## Implementation Details * Created `AppDelegate` class to handle application lifecycle: - `applicationDidFinishLaunching:` checks for command-line arguments - `openDefaultFile` opens MacDependency's own executable when no args - `openFilesFromCommandLine:` processes file paths from arguments - `application:openFile:` preserves normal Finder-based file opening * Modified `MainMenu.xib` to connect NSApplication's delegate outlet to AppDelegate instance * Updated Xcode project configuration to include new AppDelegate files in build phases ## Bug Fixes * Fixed code signing issues by documenting proper build flags for ad-hoc signing on modern macOS versions * Fixed `create_dmg_for_app.sh` script to properly quote variables containing spaces (create_dmg_for_app.sh:38) ## Documentation Updates * Updated README.md with: - New Features section describing auto-open and CLI capabilities - Usage section with command-line examples - Updated build instructions including code signing requirements * Enhanced .gitignore with comprehensive macOS and build artifact patterns ## Testing Verified functionality: - ✓ Auto-open works when launching with no arguments - ✓ Command-line file opening works with absolute paths - ✓ Relative path resolution works correctly - ✓ Multiple files open in separate windows - ✓ Normal Finder operations (double-click, drag-and-drop) unaffected - ✓ Application builds and runs with proper code signing ## Files Changed * MacDependency/AppDelegate.h (new) * MacDependency/AppDelegate.m (new) * MacDependency/Base.lproj/MainMenu.xib (modified) * MacDependency/MacDependency.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (modified) * MacDependency/README.md (updated) * README.md (updated) * .gitignore (enhanced) * create_dmg_for_app.sh (fixed) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add auto-open feature and command-line support
Add necessary entitlements and documentation to enable access to system frameworks and libraries protected by macOS System Integrity Protection. ## Changes * **Created MacDependency.entitlements**: Defines app entitlements for file access permissions, including user-selected file read/write and unsigned executable memory access * **Updated Info.plist**: Added permission usage descriptions for Apple Events and System Administration to explain why the app needs file access * **Updated project.pbxproj**: Added CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS setting to both Debug and Release build configurations, and included entitlements file in project file references * **Updated README.md**: Added "Accessing System Files" section with instructions for granting Full Disk Access in System Settings to access `/System` and `/usr/lib` protected files ## Why These Changes Without these entitlements and Full Disk Access, MacDependency cannot analyze system frameworks like: - `/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework` - `/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework` - `/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib` - `/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib` Users will receive "Couldn't open file" errors when trying to analyze system binaries due to macOS SIP restrictions. ## Files Changed * MacDependency/MacDependency.entitlements (new) * MacDependency/Info.plist (modified) * MacDependency/MacDependency.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (modified) * README.md (modified) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Explain that system frameworks and libraries are stored in dyld shared cache and not available as individual files on macOS Big Sur and later. Provide workaround using dyld_shared_cache_util for advanced users who need to analyze system libraries. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace deprecated mxcl/xcodebuild action with direct xcodebuild command. Fixes artifact upload errors and uses modern actions/checkout@v4. Includes proper code signing flags for CI builds. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
