what does an app do to satisfy the dock bounce? What does an application have to do that satisfies the dock system so it stops bouncing the app's icon?
I am writing an X11 app that runs via XQuartz. I can create an app bundle with an icon for the Desktop such that my app runs fine when I double-click it, but the icon in the dock bounces forever.
I am aware of the dock feature that allows turning off bouncing for all apps, that's not what I need.
Thanks for any info.
An application's icon will bounce in the macOS Dock until the application enters its main event loop and begins responding to user input.
See How do I make the dock icon stop bouncing after my app wrapper script starts?
