Mac Application do not start on system reboot

[Akshada_Systematix]

I have created a LaunchDaemon service which runs a application

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.testapp.plist​

Here is my com.testapp.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.testapp</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>root</string>
<key>GroupName</key>
<string>wheel</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/var/log/OutputLog1.log</string>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/var/log/OutputLog2.log</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/TestApplication/Test.app/Contents/MacOS/Test</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>​

It is working fine. But when I reboot my system, launchdaemon start my application but it kills the application.

Log which I get in console is,

I also checked application running state from Activity Monitor which shows that application is running.

Also checked the daemon state by

sudo launchctl list | grep testapp​

which also shows that daemon is also running.

I am not able to get the main cause of this issue .

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

There are several errors in what you're doing. The most directly relevant log lines are:

20/03/17 7:15:25.239 PM Test[50]: Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to Window Server before login.
20/03/17 7:15:25.239 PM Test[50]: On-demand launch of the Window Server is allowed for root user only.
20/03/17 7:15:25.239 PM Test[50]: This user is not allowed access to the window system right now.

Post #7 in the above thread gives links to important reference docs for making agents and daemons. You'll need to read them carefully and follow all the rules.

Or just use a Login Item, as described here:
