This blog talks about disabling the new touch bar on a mac book pro by user.

Can achieve the same by using Objective C or JAVA?

Solution

  • We can achieve this by setting the NSFunctionBarAPIEnabled boolean value to No.

    defaults write com.apple.systemuiserver NSFunctionBarAPIEnabled -bool NO

    You can do the same in objective c by 

    NSDictionary* myDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:@"NSFunctionBarAPIEnabled"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:myDict];
