AXtendedKey

Hassle-free Accessibility (AX) permissions for Xcode builds.

Quickstart Guide

Summary

Want to build an app in Xcode with accessibility (AX) permissions?

You have a problem. Xcode will ask you to approve permissions after every build.

And your app still won't work.

This tool fixes that.

Install via PyPI Package

Install AxtendedKey with your favorite PyPI installer.

pip install AxtendedKey

Generate AX-Enabled Certificate

This tool works by self-signing a certificate, which grants codesign the ability to build with AX permissions.

axtended-key --verbose generate

The certificate is imported into the default macOS keychain.

Undo

Remove the certificate at any time to completely undo anything this tool has done.
