How to access accessibility settings in MacOSX Cocoa app using swift?

I'm pretty confused. Usually in an iOS app I would access the settings using a url scheme. Now I found out that on MacOSX using Objective-C you can do this:

    NSDictionary *options = @{(id)kAXTrustedCheckOptionPrompt: @YES};
    BOOL accessibilityEnabled = AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions((CFDictionaryRef)options);

I've tried to convert this to Swift but didn't got to a valid result. Does anyone know how to convert this or a valid method to ask for assistive access in Swift?

The kAXTrustedCheckOptionPrompt type is Unmanaged<CFString> so you need to access to the retained value as show below

let options : NSDictionary = [kAXTrustedCheckOptionPrompt.takeRetainedValue() as NSString: true]
let accessibilityEnabled = AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions(options)
