[macOS 13 Ventura] Failed to register SlowQuitApps to launch on login

[mdaloia]

It seems that SMLoginItemSetEnabled() does not work in Ventura (13.0) and register() should be used instead:

To enable or disable LoginItems in macOS 13 and later, use the register() and unregister() methods instead.

On launch, when Yes is hit...

... a failure is shown:

I hope someone is able to pick this up for an update.

A quick workaround: right click app icon in the dock and select Open at Login.

You guys can use my version for walk around fix. https://github.com/warkcod/SlowQuitApps/releases/tag/0.8.2
Support macOS Venture, build with Xcode v14.3, Removed the annoying popup dialog. Use crontab to fix this and also fix a bug which sometime it does not work after long time running.

• crontab -e
  30 * * * * sh killAndStart.sh
  Restart the app every 30 minutes slicensely.

Tested on macOS Venture V13.3.1

I’ve carved out some time to officially fix this issue, so the workaround is no longer needed. If you need it, you can download the installer package here, and you can also check out the corresponding source code:
