PyObjC is a bridge between Python and Objective-C, enabling Python scripts to use and extend Objective-C class libraries on macOS. The `pyobjc-framework-sharedwithyoucore` package provides Python wrappers for Apple's SharedWithYouCore framework, which allows applications to collaborate and share documents directly with Messages, Mail, and FaceTime apps. It is actively maintained, with new releases typically aligning with macOS SDK updates and Python version support. [3, 22]
pip install pyobjc-framework-sharedwithyoucoreVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This example demonstrates how to import a class from the `SharedWithYouCore` framework and instantiate a `SWCollaborationCoordinator` object. It also includes the necessary `NSAutoreleasePool` management, which is a common pattern in PyObjC applications. [13, 16]
Upgrade to `pyobjc-framework-sharedwithyoucore` version 12.1 or higher, or use a supported Python version (3.10+). [2, 17]
Use Python 3.9 or later with PyObjC 11.x, or Python 3.10 or later with PyObjC 12.x. [2, 6]
Review Python classes subclassing Objective-C objects, especially those with custom `__init__` or `__new__` methods. Ensure `__new__` is explicitly defined if `__init__` is used, or adapt to the Objective-C two-phase instantiation model (`alloc().init()`) directly. [12, 30]
Carefully review Apple's documentation for thread-safety of specific framework classes. Use `performSelectorOnMainThread_` or similar mechanisms for GUI updates. Implement explicit `NSAutoreleasePool` creation and drainage in non-main threads. [1, 11]
Review code that directly manipulates or relies on the exact reference count behavior of objects returned from `alloc()` prior to `init()` calls, as the handling of 'partially initialized' objects has been rearchitected. [2]
