Re: List Running apps and windows

PD: I have tried the UIElementInspector code and it also says that the
App is not trusted, but it succeeds in geting other apps info. Instead
when I run
AXUIElementRef ref=AXUIElementCreateApplication(pid);
AXUIElementCopyAttributeNames(ref, (CFArrayRef *)&theNames);
theNames is empty.
Why is this happening?
