With GSCopyPurpleNamedPort(appId) in GraphicsServices deprecated in IOS7, what is the alternative approach? [closed]

Question

I want to send gsevent in IOS7. Which I follow from here:How to find the purple port for the front most application in IOS 5 and above?

I got it working for IOS 4,5,6, now I am working on IOS7 beta. I found out that the private API has been changed. The result of GSCopyPurpleNamedPort(appId) is always 0.

So how do I get the purple port of the current running application for IOS7, anyone has any ideas?

This question brushed into NDA based SDKs. The OP is not allowed to discuss iOS 7. – Gist

@NilsMunch It's up to the OP and any answerers to honour the NDA, it isn't for SO to enforce. – Barleycorn

@Barleycorn Fair enough :) – Gist

@NilsMunch Not that it isn't a question for closure, but not for reasons of NDA alone. :) – Barleycorn

Take a look in the console logs, whether it says anything.

Most likely (it's a guess), they protected it with some entitlement and since your application doesn't have it, you will get 0 as result.

Sadly the console didn't say anything. Although GSGetPurpleSystemEventPort() this is still working. And if I try to send gsevent to system purple port, the console will give some errors. I will post the error msg next time when I tried it. – Overhasty

i m getting the console logs, as victor said, it says that it has been protected – Ferrochromium

@ Victor Ronin did you get a solution PLZ ? – Dzoba

@HDNZ: I didn't touch private API's already for about 8-9 month. It looks like iOS 8 became even more string with private API's and protected a lot of them with entitlements, so this area is become almost dead. – Gratt
