#TEXTEXPANDER MAC NOT WORKING MOJAVE BETA UPDATE#
#TEXTEXPANDER MAC NOT WORKING MOJAVE BETA PLUS#

Updates and Improvements to the Salutation AppleScript for Apple Mail I’d love to see MailKit also make its way to iOS and iPad OS, but I’m not holding my breath. Unfortunately, MailKit is only for the Mac, leaving Apple’s Mail app on the iPhone and iPad sad and lonely, still without even the dignity of a sharing button.

#TEXTEXPANDER MAC NOT WORKING MOJAVE BETA UPDATE#

One of my favorite plugins is SmallCubed’s MailSuite, but every year I have to turn it off on beta machines and often for the first few months after a macOS update releases. Hopefully, another benefit will be that in future updates to macOS, plugin developers won’t have to re-invent the wheel every year. I hope this also encourages other developers to get off the sidelines and explore developing new and helpful Mail.app plugins.

This new sense that mail plugins have a future path and will continue to exist makes it easier for me to use them.

The good news is that the announcement of MailKit means Apple is not pulling the plug on plugins but instead found a safe way for them to continue while keeping the platform secure. My concern was that Apple could, at any point, pull the plug on Apple Mail plugins.Ī few years ago, I talked to an Apple engineer at WWDC who explained that mail plugins, historically at least, represented a security vulnerability, and Apple is very much interested in removing any security holes. There is already a rich ecosystem of Apple Mail plugins, but I’ve become increasingly leary about using and recommending them during recent years. I hope that this new MailKit will allow third-party developers to pick up that slack. Apple nails that but seems uninterested in the “feature-rich” part. Most third-party developers seem to fall down on the “stability” part. Making a stable, feature-rich email application isn’t easy. Most who use it day-to-day have gotten somewhat accustomed to how dated it feels. While the app continues to get support for email rendering and improvements to its basic functions (like search), that’s about it. Mail.app has been stagnant for a long time. If you run into trouble, please let our support team know.One of the announcements to come out of WWDC this year is a new framework for third parties to create plugins for Apple’s Mail.app called MailKit. Once you restart TextExpander you may be asked to add TextExpander Helper to Accessibility if that happens, please go ahead and add it back.įollow these steps and you should be back to normal.

Add TextExpander back to the list using the “+” plus button at the bottom, then restart your Mac.It was a part of older versions of TextExpander – if it’s not there, don’t worry.) (NOTE: if you don’t see TextExpander Helper, that’s okay. You may need to Unlock the options on the lower left first with your Mac user account login. From the list on the right remove all “TextExpander” and “TextExpander Helper” listings using the “-” minus at the bottom of the list.From the Privacy tab choose Accessibility from the list on the left.Open System Preferences to Security & Privacy.There is a simple adjustment you need to make in the Accessibility pane of System Preferences to get you expanding again. If you’ve upgraded your Mac to macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later, you may have found your snippets aren’t expanding.
