@dimsumthinking I don't know anything about the Swift specifics of executing processes and capturing their output, but it's common for Java apps to bundle a JRE. You would need to bundle a JRE that is appropriate for each platform you intend the app to run on and figure out which one to invoke. I'm not sure though how that would play with Apple's sandboxing. Would Apple block the Java process from executing or at least require separate permission?
@paul I like Knots 3D (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/knots-3d/id453571750) for learning knots because you can change the animation speed and scrub back and forth to really figure out some of the tricky parts. I find it much easier compared to watching videos.

@StewartLynch I know it's a lot to ask for a fun side project, but integration with my actual YT account so the app automatically knows that I've already watched a bunch of your videos would be cool.
@StewartLynch It does, but I see now that it just takes me to the website anyway. Thanks for the update!
@StewartLynch Naturally, but now I'm curious to see if you pushing out a new feed works!
@StewartLynch I see the new 1.03 version in my GumRoad account to download, but the app's Help -> Check for updates says I'm up to date at 1.02. Is the update check yet to be implemented or just maybe lagging behind? Lovely idea for an app by the way!
@ciscoserrano I had an Amazon delivery a couple weeks ago where the guy just dropped my packages on the end of the driveway right next to the sidewalk! I have to say that they’re usually pretty good in my area though.
@craiggrannell I was obsessed with Ramp Champ back in the day. I seem to recall the app was purchased with promises of revamping it and continuing development, but alas, I never really saw that happen.

@ctietze Not sure if you were ever prompted to answer the encryption question at some point, but since the message sort of hints in that direction, this might help you: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/complying_with_encryption_export_regulations

In the past, I would always have to answer this question before I could use a build before I figured how that I could the answer to my project.

@s1mn Would wrapping the open command suit your needs? It can take a “-a” argument to specify the application and then you can pass arguments to the application. https://scriptingosx.com/2017/02/the-macos-open-command/
