Hi @anthony-nicholls  
Thank’s for your answer!  
Instead of running `runDispatchLoop`, I can run `runDispatchLoopUntil` as described in this post: [Suggested improvements in runDispathLoopUntil() on OSX](https://forum.juce.com/t/suggested-improvements-in-rundispathloopuntil-on-osx/36412)  
But even without a `0` argument, I still don’t get messages… And I don’t know why.

Debugging with XCode I think I get some events but I don’t know what happens next…
