# pyobjc-framework-AdServices — Wrappers for the framework AdServices on macOS

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 649.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a PyObjC bridge that exposes Apple's AdServices framework to Python code running on macOS 11.1 or later. It translates Objective-C class and method definitions into Python-callable interfaces, allowing developers to interact with system-level advertising functionality from Python scripts or applications.

The package is a thin wrapper—it does not include its own documentation. Instead, it relies on Apple's official AdServices framework documentation to explain what each API does, and PyObjC's general documentation to explain how Python-to-Objective-C translation works. Installation is straightforward and has low friction, depending only on the core PyObjC packages. It is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions including free-threading builds.

Use it for:

- Build macOS applications that need to query or interact with system ad-related APIs from Python.
- Integrate ad-serving or ad-attribution functionality into Python-based macOS tools or daemons.
- Access AdServices framework data in Python scripts running on macOS for analytics or monitoring.
- Develop cross-framework macOS apps where Python handles business logic and AdServices provides system integration.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides Python bindings for Apple's AdServices framework on macOS 11.1 or later, enabling programmatic access to ad-related system functionality through PyObjC.

Yes, if you are developing on macOS 11.1+ and need programmatic access to the AdServices framework from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. The main gotcha is that you must consult Apple's documentation separately—this is a thin binding, not a high-level abstraction.

## Install

pip install pyobjc-framework-adservices
uv add pyobjc-framework-adservices
poetry add pyobjc-framework-adservices

## Installing pyobjc-framework-AdServices

Before you install: Low friction installation with active maintenance. Released 3 days ago with recent commits, and depends only on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa, both core PyObjC packages. Supports Python 3.10 through 3.15 including free-threading builds.

License in practice: MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions—suitable for most projects that can run on macOS.

Quickstart:

pip install pyobjc-framework-adservices

import AdServices
# Access AdServices framework classes and methods
# Refer to Apple's AdServices documentation for available APIs

macOS 11.1 or later required; Python 3.10+ required; PyObjC framework bindings are thin wrappers without embedded documentation—Apple's official AdServices documentation must be consulted for API details.

Verify before relying:

- Whether AdServices framework is available on all macOS 11.1+ versions or only specific builds/configurations
- Performance characteristics and any known limitations when bridging between Python and Objective-C for ad-related operations
