On this page you will find links to resources for developers and scripters alike, including training materials and code examples. Enjoy!THE LANGUAGE OF AUTOMATIONAppleScript is an English-like language used to create script files and applets that control the actions of the computer and the applications that run on it.

A number of questions asking how to call various Objective-C APIs in Swift, or why overriding certain methods or properties doesn't work, can be answered just by looking at the Swift representation of the Objective-C API.In Xcode, simply Command-click on a symbol (such as NSView or UIView) and Xcode will present the corresponding header file as it is represented in Swift, for example:The API Reference in the documentation also shows both Swift and Objective-C forms:

There are a couple error messages that developers have seen when using the iOS Simulator. We can certainly do better to make these error messages less cryptic in future releases, but for now, hopefully this post will help you out. Note that this information (likely a more condensed form of it since I am quite verbose here) should appear in Xcode release notes.1) Unable to boot the iOS SimulatorThis error message will appear in iOS Simulator, and if hitting Build&Run from Xcode, you will likely get an (Domain = DTiPhoneSimulatorErrorDomain, Code = 2) error there as well. With iOS 7 and later, the simulator runtime gained its own bootstrap server (launchd_sim) rather than relying on the host's launchd. In Xcode 6.0 and 6.1, this error message is only displayed in the event that launchd_sim crashes upon launch before the simulator can checkin with it. The only known cause of this issue is from the installation of 3rd party software which alters the behavior of OS X in unsupported ways by setting DYL
