PyObjC provides Python wrappers for the "AdServices" framework on macOS, allowing Python scripts to interact with Apple's Objective-C APIs for ad attribution. This specific package, `pyobjc-framework-adservices`, enables access to the AdServices framework. PyObjC is actively maintained with frequent releases, often synchronized with macOS SDK updates, ensuring compatibility with the latest Apple operating systems and developer tools. The current version is 12.1.

This example demonstrates how to request an attribution token using Apple's AdServices framework via PyObjC. It defines a completion handler to process the token or any errors, and uses `PyObjCTools.AppHelper.runEventLoop()` to manage the asynchronous callback.
Upgrade to Python 3.10 or later for PyObjC v12.0+.
Review code interacting with Objective-C initializers, especially those involving manual reference counting or complex object graphs, to ensure correct memory management.
Refer to Apple's documentation on `AdServices` (e.g., `AAAttribution` on developer.apple.com) and the general PyObjC documentation for bridging rules.
Avoid using `__init__` for PyObjC-wrapped classes that rely on PyObjC's default `__new__` implementation. If a custom `__new__` is defined, ensure `__init__` behavior is tested across PyObjC versions.
Replace Python lists/dicts with their `Foundation` mutable counterparts (`NSMutableArray`, `NSMutableDictionary`) when these collections are observed via KVO.
