OS X shell script to add/remove App extension

Question

I am creating a FinderSync Extension for my application like Dropbox do. Now I need to register and unregister this extension from Extensions(in System preference) programmatically. Dropbox implemented this feature in recent release .

How to unregister and register an extension dynamically using applescipt.

Answer 1

Try pluginkit on the shell (.sh script)

# add it to DB.
pluginkit -a  "/Applications/YourApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/FinderSyncExt.appex/"
# enable it
pluginkit -e use -i com.your-application.FinderSyncExt
