AXSwift

AXSwift is a Swift wrapper for macOS’s C-based accessibility client APIs. Working with these APIs is error-prone and a huge pain, so AXSwift makes everything easier:

• Modern API that’s 100% Swift
• Explicit error handling
• Complete coverage of the underlying C API
• Better documentation than Apple’s, which is pretty poor

This framework is intended as a basic wrapper, and doesn’t keep any state or do any “magic”. That’s up to you!

Using AXSwift

SPM

In your Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/tmandry/AXSwift", from: "0.3.0"),

Carthage

In your Cartfile:

github "tmandry/AXSwift" ~> 0.3

CocoaPods

In your Podfile:

pod 'AXSwift', '~> 0.3'

See the source of AXSwiftExample and AXSwiftObserverExample for an example of the API.
