I am creating a software that moves the mouse cursor and performs left and right clicks. I got the cursor moving but I can´t perform left clicks. What am I doing wrong?

let point = CGPoint(x:366, y:528) // Random point
    self.moveCursor(point: point)

    // click mouse
    let eventMouseDown = CGEvent(mouseEventSource: nil, mouseType: 
      .leftMouseDown, mouseCursorPosition: point, mouseButton:.left)
    eventMouseDown?.post(tap: .cghidEventTap)

    // release mouse
    let eventMouseUp = CGEvent(mouseEventSource: nil, mouseType: 
      .leftMouseUp, mouseCursorPosition: point, mouseButton: .left)
     eventMouseUp?.post(tap: .cghidEventTap)

Is App Sandbox switched off? – Willeke Jul 15 '18 at 12:41
Yes, and still not working. It should perform click in the designated CGPoint, but it doesn´t. – Spk Jul 15 '18 at 13:23
Are you running the Mojave beta? – Ken Thomases Jul 15 '18 at 13:30
No, high Sierra V. 10.13.4 – Spk Jul 15 '18 at 13:34
I tried your code and it works for me. I removed `self.moveCursor(point: point)`. Is the code executed on the main thread? – Willeke Jul 15 '18 at 15:41
It is working! I discovered that the App Sandboxing in the entitlements file was on YES. I changed it to NO, and worked as expected! Thanks a lot for your help!! – Spk Jul 16 '18 at 15:38
