Where is the documentation for writing an OS X accessibility client?

Apple has added documentation to add accessibility information to its own application. This allows affordable customers to manage this application. However, I can not find any information writing one own client accessibility. I would like to manage other applications through my interface from an OS X application (and not through AppleScript, ScriptingBridge or the third part platform, BTW). I would like to write a real accessibility client - where is the documentation for this?

This is what I have found so far:

  • Manually send quartz events . This is a much lower level than the new Accessibility tools that ship with OS X Yosemite.
  • Old wireframe . This does not work on 64-bit Mac computers. Today is almost useless.
  • This header file contains some information about managing the application. This is just a header file - there is no manual, no examples. I also do not see how to move from this structure to the methods in the protocol described in 1 .

Header files pretty much this, there is an example called UI Inspector

Opening the actual header file in the SDK may be useful, as there are many comments and documentation that may not be available on the website.
