Previously the `setListenInExclusiveMode:` call did appear to work,
disabling the normal functioning of the headphone buttons. But my
`NSLog`s in `ddhidAppleMikey:press:upOrDown:` didn't get printed, the
method having not been called.
Since all the other applications I found using DDHidLib were GUI apps
using `NSApplication`, I decided to take this approach here. Set up the
`NSApplication` in `main.c` and added a new `AppDelegate` class.
It seems like the reference to my `HeadphoneKey` instance wasn't getting
retained or something. When I moved the:
HeadphoneKey *h = [[HeadphoneKey alloc] init];
line into `AppDelegate`'s `applicationDidFinishLaunching:`, nothing
changed. However, when I moved all code from `HeadphoneKey` into
`AppDelegate`, my `ddhidAppleMikey:press:upOrDown:` method _did_ get
called.
At that point, it was logical to try adding a `HeadphoneKey` instance
variable and `init`ing into that variable. As a result, we now have a
working `ddhidAppleMikey:press:upOrDown:` delegate method that correctly
logs the headphone key events!
Here are the reference applications I looked at using DDHidLib, found
using a simple GitHub search:

Thanks immensely this Cocoa With Love article from Matt Gallagher, which
was invaluable in showing me how to create a minimal Cocoa application
without needing a nib, Info.plist, or even application bundle (instead
putting everything in a single executable, making it easier to
distribute this as a command-line application with a built-in daemon):
