Goal
Allows Bugsnag to be used in macOS executables without linking AppKit.
This matters because some frameworks, such as AppKit, are not safe to use in daemons or executables that run in a non-UI session (bootstrap namespace) as documented in Technical Note TN2083: Daemons and Agents.
Design
See #919
Changeset
CLANG_MODULES_AUTOLINK
has been set toNO
for Bugsnag-macOS in the top-level Bugsnag project - this will cause a build failure if we reintroduce a link-time dependency on AppKit e.g.Undefined symbol: _OBJC_CLASS_$_NSApplication
NSClassFromString()
(via macros) to avoid linking against the class symbolNSProcessInfo.processInfo.processName
is now used ifNSBundle.mainBundle.bundleIdentifier
is nil to prevent~/Library/Application Support/com.bugsnag.Bugsnag/(null)
being used as the storage location for executables that have noInfo.plist
