Mac OS, operating system (OS) developed by the American computer company Apple Inc. The OS was introduced in 1984 to run the company’s Macintosh line of personal computers (PCs). The Macintosh heralded the era of graphical user interface (GUI) systems, and it inspired Microsoft Corporation to develop its own GUI, the Windows OS. A Step-by-Step Guide to the Xcode Mac OS Development Environment. Every copy of Mac OS X comes with Xcode, the powerful development suite that Apple uses to build applications ranging from Safari to iTunes. But because Xcode is complex and subtle, even experienced Mac programmers rarely take full.

About the book

Description

Mac OS X, Apple's newest operating system for the Macintosh platform, is profoundly different from its earlier versions because of its similarity to the UNIX operating system. For developers writing software for OS X this means adjusting to two new environments to create applications and to access the enhanced features of the new OS, Cocoa and Carbon. Cocoa is an object-oriented API in which all future OS X programs will be written. Carbon is a transitional technology allowing compatibility of applications written for earlier versions of the Mac OS with Mac OS X.
Mac OS X Developer's Guide focuses equally on Cocoa and Carbon, guiding the reader through these technologies and showing how to write applications in both. It is the first book for Mac OS X developers written for those who are already working on applications, as well as new developers just getting started. It starts off describing the new OS and its development tools then focuses on specific programming issues, providing tips on making the transition from classic Mac OS code to Mac OS X.

Mac OS X Driver Development

Development of device drivers is formidable task as it demands immense expertise. At Embien, we own a team of proficient developers who develop device drivers for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Our expert engineers are well versed in Objective C, C++, Swift, Cocoa, XCode technologies and have written Daemons & Services in Mac OS environments. We also provide complete ecosystems like Preference Panes, Agent applications (for background operations) etc that deliver a simplified workflow for device management.

Under Development Mac Os X

With adept knowledge in the customization of device drivers, we offer support for the development of device classes including: User Space USB Drivers, USB Serial Port, CDC, SCSI Drivers, Firewire drivers, Kernel Space PCI/PCIe devices, Printer Drivers, Web Camera devices etc., We also hold rich competence in developing IO Kit Drivers, Network extension drivers, Virtual device & display drivers, Syscall hooks etc.,
