MacOS Swift: how to correctly add an application as an input element

I spent about one day (maybe a little more) trying to add my application to the login element in the order in which it starts when macOS starts (user login).

So, following these steps, I did:

  • Add a new project inside my main project, which I called Launcher

  • I use Automatic Signing (as the version of my Xcode) is different enter image description here

  • In the section "Project Settings"> "Features" I switched to "Sandbox" in the "ON" position.

  • In the build phases, I added the following: enter image description here

  • My launcher has Skip Install = YES enter image description here

  • Launcher ( Swift, )

      - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification 
{
    // Insert code here to initialize your application

    NSArray *pathComponents = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] pathComponents];
    pathComponents = [pathComponents subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, [pathComponents count] - 4)];
    NSString *path = [NSString pathWithComponents:pathComponents];
    [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:path];
    [NSApp terminate:nil];
}

            let alert: NSAlert = NSAlert()
            alert.messageText = "Remotely.Click Server - Error";
            alert.informativeText = "Application couldn't be added as 
        Login Item to macOS System Preferences > Users & Groups.";
            alert.alertStyle = NSAlertStyle.warning;
            alert.addButton(withTitle:"OK");
            alert.runModal();
