      I can't seem to install the helper for Wifispoof. After entering the system password...nothing happens. Tried on 2 computers with no luck:/

        Hi Splashin,

        The helper is a headless app, so you won't even know its running, all it does is allow WiFiSpoof to change your MAC Address. so the way to know if it is correctly installed is to try and change your Mac Address. If that changes, then the helper is correctly installed

          Thanks for the quick reply. It seems I cant change the mac address. The buttons are grey out and it still invites me to install the helper when I launch.ย ย The operating system is Sierra and tried it many times on both computers:/

            hmm,
            do you have the helper in your Applications folder?

              Just had a look, there is only Wifispoof in the application folder...

                It seems the download installer only includes the Wifispoof app. I could look inside the package content but would not know what the helper would be named?

                  could you try re-downloading, and re-installing the helper (i uploaded a new version):
                  https://sweetpproductions.com/products/wifispoof3/CookieScripts.dmg

                  it will have a pink icon

                        you may also need to restart your computer to install the helper correctly

                          Still no luck. So I initially installed the Helper and it didnt work. So deinstalled both and restarted the computer.

                          Installed WifiSpoof v3.0 and the Helper. The buttons are still greyed out and the WifiSpoof app is still inviting me to install the helper?

                            Also, with the initial installation. This dialog came up:

                            There is no application set to open the URL com.sweetpproductions.wifispoof3.update://installed.

                              that would happen if you opened the helper before opening WiFiSpoof (main app).
                              I apologise for all the troubles...
                              what operating system are you using?

                                  this should be fixed now
                                  I have uploaded v3.0.1 to my server with a fix for the code signing issues.

                                  I have also updated the MAS Helper App to version 1.0.1 for Mac App Store users.

                                      the change address button only activates when you have a valid Mac address entered in the address field (which is different to your current address) does the Randomize button change your address?

                                        That is not quite the intent of an XPC process. You can definitely use an XPC process if you want, but an XPC alone isn't going to help you escape the sandbox. It is possible and explicitly allowed for Mac App Store apps to have plug-ins that can escape the sandbox. But I am unaware of any Apple framework that is explicitly designed to help you do that. Also, for the Mac App Store, you will have to design your app carefully so that it has an acceptable level of functionality without the plug in.

                                        But if you can handle all that, then you can design your plug-in however you want. There are numerous ways to have the plug-in and your sandbox app work together. Personally, I wouldn't recommend scripting because that is hard to do and fairly limited. Once you leave Apple's approved and intended path, Apple doesn't help you anymore, but then you're free to do whatever you want. Some suggestions would be a command line tool that accepts arguments, or a command line tool that can communicate over an open pipe with the sandboxed app. There will, of course, be limitations on sandboxed side.

                                          @kimedzheeran I don't remember exactly why I utilised an XPC service (its been a while since I looked at the codebase), But I think it was more for privilege escalation. Without it, you would need to enter your password every time to change the Mac address - which is not exactly user friendly.
