🎯 What: The
getDockRects()method inClick2Minimize/AppDelegate.swifthas been refactored to use native macOS APIs (AXUIElementandNSRunningApplication) instead of relying onNSAppleScript.💡 Why:
NSAppleScriptis slow to compile and execute, especially when called repeatedly to query Dock item layouts. By using the native Accessibility APIs directly, we avoid the overhead of AppleScript compilation, inter-process communication overhead with "System Events", and significantly improve the performance and maintainability of the codebase.✅ Verification:
NSAppleScriptimplementation using a Python manipulation script to ensure precise replacement without introducing typos.cat Click2Minimize/AppDelegate.swift../test_build_dmg.shto ensure the Swift files remain syntactically sound in the mocked CI build environment. All tests passed.dist/Click2Minimize.dmgso that the commit is clean.✨ Result: A much cleaner, robust, and performant approach to querying Dock items without relying on slow AppleScript execution.
