CGEvent does not work when the application is isolated

Here is a great post on how to press keys through code. Modeling CMD + Option + D in Cocoa

This works great, but when you download the application to the sandbox, it does not work. Does anyone know an exception that I have to request in the permissions file to make this work?

I am sorry to report: there is not one (or at least there is no one that is not a temporary right). I asked Apple about this, and they said that this ability “defeats the goal” of the application sandbox. If you want to do this without any temporary permission, the only way is to write the user an AppleScript file as follows:

tell application "System Events" keystroke "e" using {command down, option down, control down, shift down} end tell

And then let it put this script in a specific folder so that you can run it using the NSUserAppleScriptTask API (this API is only 10.8). This, of course, is a mess and only an option in some cases ...
