I need to send keystrokes from Today Extension App, so I wrote like this.

    CGEventSourceRef source =     CGEventSourceCreate(kCGEventSourceStateHIDSystemState);

    CGEventRef f4 = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(source, kVK_F4, true);
    CGEventSetFlags(f4, kCGEventFlagMaskControl);
    CGEventTapLocation location = kCGHIDEventTap;

    CGEventPost(location, f4);

    CFRelease(f4);
    CFRelease(source);`


and I wrote 'com.apple.systemevents' in the .entitlements file. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"      "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events</key>
    <array>
        <string>com.apple.systemevents</string>
    </array>
    <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

But, It didn't work.
Please tell me how to do this.
Thanks.

the exception you ask or is for apple events as in apple script events

you don't generate that but you want to directly induce key / mouse presses

that won't work. no sandboxed app / extension can generate these kinds of events system wide
