I have created a cocoa application primarily to run on OS 10.6.8. to convert certain types of proprietary legacy files. The app looks at the legacy files creator code and processes it accordingly if it is a known type. Once the file is identified, I call an external legacy app (which I have added to the project) using [NSWorkspace openFile: withApplication: ]to open the droplet and process the file conversion.
The application works just like it is supposed to until I archive it and try to run it from the application bundle. Actually, it will continue to work but it is using the converter app from the project. If I delete the converter in the project area, then the app in the app bundle can not open the external app in that location. One work around is to delete the external app from the bundle after its archived and replace it with a copy of the one in the project area.
I would appreciate any suggestions on resolving this. I'm not sure if the problem is in some Xcode build setting I can change to include an external apps resource fork when archiving, or if this is a launch services issue with apps hidden in packages, or , something I'm not even considering.
Thanks
Mike
Try setting the "Preserves HFS Data" (COPYING_PRESERVES_HFS_DATA) build setting.

I am a new guy in OC programming. Now I am involved in a framework development project.
I know the framework works as a library, which contains a group of methods. It's not an application that can run on devices.
Actually, our framework will work with customer's application. We want to investigate what happened inside our framework when customer's application crashed. So I want the 'DSYM' file of our framework, instead of an application.
As far as I know any iOS application does have corresponded 'DSYM', but I didn't find the 'DSYM' of our framework.
Does iOS framework project have 'DSYM'? If it does have, how can I obtain it?
By the way, I am using Xcode 8.1.
Thanks!
According to my observations, .dSYM files are generated for iOS dynamic framework built with Release configuration only.
After build succeeds, the debug symbols files can be found at these paths, for a device and simulator, respectively:
<Build_Root>/build/Release-iphoneos/<Product_Name>.framework.dSYM
<Build_Root>/build/Release-iphonesimulator/<Product_Name>.framework.dSYM
, where
<Build_Root> is usually a subdirectory within Derived Data directory;
<Product_Name>is the name of your framework.
Yes, you can generate dSYMs for dynamic frameworks. There are a few relevant build settings that control whether and where these files are generated:
DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf-with-dsym,
DWARF_DSYM_FOLDER_PATH = "$(CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR)",
DWARF_DSYM_FILE_NAME = "$(PRODUCT_NAME).dSYM"
Obviously, you can set these to whatever you want, either in your project's build settings in Xcode (the project.pbxproj file) or as arguments to xcodebuild (depending on how you generate your framework).
DSYM (Debugging SYMbols) files generally store the debugging symbols for your app. And if app crash any where symbols replaced with appropriate method name so that it could help developer in a readable form. And for that you can use the crash log and they can be find in the iPhone where the app is installed. Each app and device have their own crash log.

I need to update my Windows Phone application tile by downloading and parsing JSON. So I'm using Microsoft HTTP Client Libraries.
And I've always got the exception Use of networking APIs requires the ID_CAP_NETWORKING capability to be defined in the application manifest when I'm trying to debug background task.
But my manifest included ID_CAP_NETWORKING as required (screenshot https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/10750111_821340111262044_6461333323674658178_o.jpg).
I don't know what to do. I tried rebuild or recreate the app, but this didn't help. Also I can't find any documentation or an answer on the internet.
Can you please write, what can I do to solve this problem?
This is demo project http://1drv.ms/1yjHm49 with reproduced problem (project's name is 'Meduza. Windows Phone').
I debug my application on Lumia 720 (if it can help).
I re-downloaded your project and now I get your error. So I thought, I must of done something before launching your project that fixed it.
It took me while, but I can get your project to work by doing this
Unzip project to directory
Open Project
Clean Project
Add Internet (Client and Server) in Package.appxmanifest file (make sure you save it before exiting)
Put the break points in your background task
And it works. So a combination of Clean Build + editing the Package.appxmanifest did the trick for me.
I would like to detect if my application was "reinstalled".
Currently my application install means only a copy to the /Applications folder.
I would like to detect if somebody deleted the application and after a time he installed it again.
Do you have any ideas how can this be solved?

You can use FNSubscribeByPath(Deprecated in OS X v10.8.) for watching trash folder.

You can create one file in application support (your application folder) folder and refer that file. Write application version number in that file.
Your app is just a folder on HDD/SSD, so user can manipulate it like usual file. User can put your app in ~/Applications/MyStuff, make 300 copies of your app and launch them at once.
The only thing you can check is the bundle version of app. Read version from user defaults (written by previous app lauch) and compare to your own bundle version. This may be useful for updates to detect which resources can be upgraded or created.
How about checking for an existing preferences file or expected user defaults setting?
That would give you some hint it was installed recently - few people clean up their preferences folder.
I want to test deployment of my first mono mac app. (yay!)
But I need to create directories to save data in. But I would like to do it part of my install process on the mac. I have no clue how to make that part of the monomac packager???
You might have to forgo creating these folders as a part of your install process and instead modify your application to check for them, and create them if they do not exist, because AFAIK, the current mac-bundle plugin to mdtool doest support that level of customization
i'm looking for a way to manage application upgrades for my compact framework app.
let's say i have v1 of the app installed on my device, and v1.1 has been released. I want the app to make a call to my server to see if there is a new version. since a new version is found, i want to send down the new version of the app to the device and have it installed, replacing the old version.
my first thought was just to have the app download the .cab file and kick off the cab file just before exiting the app. this would mostly get the job done but it would prompt the user to pick the installation location if they have a storage card or other partitions on their device. i would like to prevent any user input and just have the new version of the app installed, replacing the old app.
i'm certain that there are others doing this already and i don't want to reinvent the wheel, here. what application management tools and systems exist for this type of process? how can I facilitate this type of process?
...
EDIT:
in spite of my previous searches before posting this, i just now found this question: How to Auto-Update Windows Mobile application
When I wrote one I relied on launching the .cab file. It was definitely the path of least resistance.
Otherwise, I'd write a simple "upgrade.exe" executable that gets distributed with your app. When upgrading, you'd download the new package, launch your upgrade.exe just before exiting your app, then have that program copy over the new files to your app.
