I attached the code adapted from 'tests-examples': which is my second attempt,

It took me a couple of hours to spot what was wrong here. Mostly
because I was looking for some complicated bug in gui/base, and it was
actually something extremely simple that I failed to spoit on my initial
look through.
The service specification in the plist file does not match the source code:
In openURLInfo.plsit you wrote 'NSPortName = openURL;'
But in service.m the code to register the service is
'NSRegisterServicesProvider(server, @"openURLService");'
So when your app finds the service configuration, it initially tries to
contact port openURL.
There is nothing running on that port, so it tries to launch the service
executable, and waits for it to register.
The executable registers on port openURLService
The application again tries (repeatedly) to contact port openURL (which
still doesn't exist) until it times out and presents an error mesage to you.
All you need to do to get this working is use the same port name in both
places, make install, run make_services, and try again.
