Open Google Meet links in Google Meet Chrome app on macOS by default

I you prefer to have Google Meet links automatically open in the official Google Meet Chrome app on Mac with its own Dock icon instead of in a browser tab, this is the way to go:

Step 1: Setup Chrome App

Install the official Google Meet Chrome web app by:

1. Navigating to meet.google.com
2. Then either clicking on the install icon (computer screen with downward arrow) in Chrome's address bar or on "⋮" ▸ "Save and share" ▸ "Install page as app"

Step 2: Create AppleScript Proxy App

# Set the macOS installer path as a variable
MACOS_INSTALLER="/Applications/$(ls /Applications | grep "Install macOS")"
MOUNT_POINT="$MACOS_INSTALLER/Contents/SharedSupport"
echo "macOS installer is \"$MACOS_INSTALLER\""

# Set the target disk as a variable
TARGET=$(diskutil info "$(bless --info --getBoot)" | awk -F':' '/Volume Name/ { print $2 }' | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//')
echo "Target disk is \"$TARGET\""

GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

1. Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
2. Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
3. Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
4. Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

# load your sandbox account object
account = CLIENT.accounts.first

# create your campaign
campaign = TwitterAds::Campaign.new(account)
campaign.funding_instrument_id = account.funding_instruments.first.id
campaign.daily_budget_amount_local_micro = 1_000_000

Are you setup and ready?

To get the most out of the Twitter Ads API workshop, make sure you come with your laptop ready to go. This workshop relies on your participation and there are just a few things you need to have ready ahead of time to make sure your development environment is setup and ready to go.

1. Install Ruby

For OS X and Unix users:

OS X and most unix-based platforms come ready to go with what you'll need to participate in this workshop. Just make sure you've got Ruby 2.0.0 or higher by running ruby -v from your terminal.
