Hi Costas, I'd be interested in hearing the results of you following up NSXPCConnection.
When I read through the documentation about a year ago, it is focussed around providing a xpcservice which is a bundled executable within an application, and the application communicates with it using NSXPCConnection. The NSXPCConnection can also be used for communicating with a LaunchAgent or a LaunchDaemon but I found the process of getting a LaunchAgent working as I found it difficult to separate what documentation was specific to an xpcservice and what was needed to be done differently for a LaunchAgent. I got there in the end, and I have the LaunchAgent side of things working and have a minimal project which demonstrates a working LaunchAgent. https://github.com/SheffieldKevin/LaunchAgent The big BUT though is. I could never see how you could use NSXPCConnection to communicate between two applications. I would be interested to know how this can be done which is why I'd be interested in hearing the results of your examination of NSXPCConnection.
