I'd like to build some workflows in Automator (.workflow files), and ship them along with my Mac App Store app.
Workflow files stored in ~/Library/Services are automatically picked up by the system as services. Is there any way to have the system recognise services inside my app bundle?
Or would I need to request a temporary entitlement to move .services from inside my bundle to that folder?
Workflows are intended to be created by end users. You would have to use NSSavePanel and set the path to ~/Library/Services. You will also have to create some type of interface to trigger that. If you just pop it up automatically, that would likely be an automatic rejection.
I wouldn't recommend a termporary entitlement. I admit that I've never actually tried a temporary entitlement. I've only tried the entitlements to which I should be entitled and those always lead to numerous rejections. In theory, it should be possible, but it seems far-fetched to me. There are certain developer who could probably do it, but I know I'm not in that crowd.
Makes sense, thanks for replying.
