EasySIMBL (30 June 2012 – 30 June 2015)

Notes for using SIMBL-0.9.9 on OS X 10.11 is here.

Changes from original SIMBL

• OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10
• Reads plugins from ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins only.
• Never reads plugins from /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins.
• Support sandboxed application.
• Support resumed on login application.
• Drag and Drop install to /Applications or ~/Applications folder, no uninstaller required.
• Change injection method.
• Install plugins(.bundle) from Finder.
• Support injecting plugins into background process LSBackgroundOnly=1 and agent process LSUIElement=1, if plugin has explicitly targeting application bundle identifier (not *. e.g. com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService, com.apple.dock or com.apple.security.pboxd).
• New CFBundleIdentifier of EasySIMBL.osax has been changed from com.github.norio-nomura.EasySIMBL.osax to net.culater.SIMBL. This trick will make Google Chrome allow loading plugins. See #12
