Im using the low-level C xpc api <xpc/xpc.h> and i get this error when I run it: Underlying connection interrupted. I know this error stems from the call to xpc_session_send_message_with_reply_sync(session, message, &reply_err);. I have no previous experience with xpc or dispatch and I find the xpc docs very limited and I also found next to no code examples online. Can somebody take a look at my code and tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it? Thank you in advance.
Main code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <xpc/xpc.h>
#include <dispatch/dispatch.h>
// the context passed to mainf()
struct context {
char* text;
xpc_session_t sess;
};
// This is for later implementation and the name is also rudimentary
void mainf(void* c) {
//char * text = ((struct context*)c)->text;
xpc_session_t session = ((struct context*)c)->sess;
dispatch_queue_t messageq = dispatch_queue_create("y.ddd.main",
DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
xpc_object_t message = xpc_dictionary_create(NULL, NULL, 0);
xpc_dictionary_set_string(message, "test", "eeeee");
if (session == NULL) {
printf("Session is NULL\n");
exit(1);
}
__block xpc_rich_error_t reply_err = NULL;
__block xpc_object_t reply;
dispatch_sync(messageq, ^{
reply = xpc_session_send_message_with_reply_sync(session,
message,
&reply_err);

xpc_rich_error_copy_description(reply_err));
