Any recommendations about how to do this? It's nonobvious what and
how I should be watching. Playing around with scutil I find if I add
a notification on "State:/Network/Interface/<device name>/IPv4" and
then watch notifications, it gets updated whenever I change the
location via the Location menu in the Apple menu. But I'm not sure
how I would do that via the API, or if it's even really the right
thing to watch. (It seems to change immediately, and then change
again a few seconds later.)
I really just need to know when a particular device in a location is
fully configured via DHCP.
I was able to work around the issue with URL Access by continually
retrying until it returns something other than 1, but now I'm running
into an issue with Internet Explorer where it won't resolve a name
for a couple seconds after the location changes. In the meantime I
can revert to some older, working code that just runs scutil to do
its dirty work, but I'm worried that it's just working by chance and
will start to mysteriously fail in the future.
