Thanks for the idea - this has prompted some progress! I can't believe I didn't do this before, but when I run this command from the terminal, it DOES work!
/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline -b -g 890 Example.pdf Example.tex Changing the line number changes the displayed view in Skim *in exactly the way it's supposed to work from Emacs!* So, why doesn't it work in Emacs? Following your thought, I looked at the Secury & Privacy prefs. Under Automation, I find: [image: Screen Shot 2020-12-29 at 13.57.11.png] Unchecking Skim.app from this list, and the displayline command incurs the following error when run from the terminal: 613:675: execution error: Not authorized to send Apple events to Skim. (-1743) The displayed view no longer changes. So, I am guessing the same error occurs from Emacs. Maddeningly, there is no obvious way to add Emacs to the Automation pane and grant it permission to control Skim. Emacs is already granted full permissions in the Accessibility pane, and that does not help. Sheesh! Any more ideas? Anyone with a better handle on macOS sandboxing than me? By which I mean, any handle at all? Help would be much appreciated!!
