How to handle the hidden in MacOS? #81

Open

Description

@weiluenju
  • The target platform(s) the problem occurs on (Linux, Mac, Mac App Store, and or Windows): Mac
  • Node version (run node -v): 8.10
  • auto-launch version: 5.0.5
  • The options you're passing to auto-launch:
  • Are you using NW.js or Electron? NW.js
    • If so, which version? 0.30.0
    • If you're using Electron, are you using auto-launch from the main process or a renderer process?
  • Can you reproduce this with a simple Hello World example app?
  • If needs be, would you be able to provide us with a simple app (as simple as possible) which reproduces the problem?

Now my program can auto start, but the window still show after login, even I already set isHidden to true.

I try to see the nw.App.argv array, but not found any about hidden information.

How can I do to handle the hidden in MacOS?

Thanks.

    OK, I give up using the AppleScript,

    I change to use the Launch Agent, but I found if i don't assign the path, the path in plist file will be

    .../ABC.app/Contents/Versions/66.0.3359.117/nwjs Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs Helper

    It is not work!

    I need to assgin the path to

    .../ABC.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs

    and then it is work.

    BUT the filename of plist will be nwjs.plist.

    It is very easy duplicate with other NW.js program.

    Package NW.js by nw-builder

    I also faced this problem.
    I think they should really add this to the documentation.
    Mac hidden handling is different from Linux and Windows.
    What you need to do is check the LoginItemSettings:

    const loginSettings = app.getLoginItemSettings();
    const hidden = loginSettings.wasOpenedAsHidden;
