| Hello everyone,
Has anybody else encountered situations where AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue can take up to 6 seconds before returning nil?
I'm running the following piece of code on the main thread of my background app:
-(AXUIElementRef) getElementAttribute:(CFStringRef)name { NSLog(@"getElementAttribute: %@", name); AXUIElementRef value; if (AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue(_element, name, (CFTypeRef *)&value) != kAXErrorSuccess) { NSLog(@"getElementAttribute end with nil"); return nil; } NSLog(@"getElementAttribute end"); return value; }
It works reliably until a foreground application Keychain password prompt comes up, at which point I see this starting to occur in the logs of my background app:
2012-12-31 12:13:38.770 UndisclosedApp[2554:303] getElementAttribute: AXFocusedUIElement 2012-12-31 12:13:44.771 UndisclosedApp[2554:303] getElementAttribute end with nil
I'll be filing a bug report a little later with some sample code once I can isolate the smallest combination of factors to reproduce the issue, but I was curious to see if anybody else encountered a similar situation.
Thanks,
