Not sure why, but currently the only way I can access xcode is by going into finder and typing 'xcode'.
How can I link xcode from my applications folder, and pref. put it into a 'developer' sub-folder.
(new'ish to mac)
Xcode is installed in /Developer/Applications/, just open it using spotlight and when the icon is in the dock, right click and select Keep in dock.
Find xcode in spotlight.
press command+enter to open it in a Finder window
drag the icon to the dock
or drag it to another folder while
pressing command+alt (to create a
link/alias)

I deleted all files from Application, Finder/Application Support, and also removed it from System Preference. But I am still getting the notifications from it when I open my computer.
My activity Monitor shows that the notification files are saved in:
/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/com.paragon-software.ntfs.notification-agent.app/Contents/MacOS/NotificationAgent
HOWEVER, I couldn't see Paragon Software in /Library/Application Support. I guess that is because the folder is hidden. Is there anyway I can see the hidden folder without downloading any other tool? Or how can I remove Paragon NTFS completely and not receive its notification anymore?
In notification settings, I can still see:
I can turn off the notification for now. But I really want to remove it.
To show hidden files:
Go to Finder-apps-utilis-terminal
Enter:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Press alt & right click finder app icon from dock. Then click relaunch
If you are using OS version >= Sierra, you can use
CMD + SHIFT + .
when in finder to show hidden files(Hit once more to revert)
I had created a mac app in Xcode, and i would like to create a file out of it , so that it will be a regular program on my mac, which i can run on startup , and send to other people.
I don't know if it has to be a .dmg , , or something else.
I have tried this link to do that, but the dmg is just a file that when i open, shows me the Xcode project and not run the app as like any other mac app :
Creating a .DMG (dbf answer and marc answer)
How do you create an app? a regular mac app from Xcode project ??
How do enable it to be open at startup as like any other app ?
EDIT
I can see lots of people just taking the .app from Xcode, to use as the desktop app . but for me, when i click this file .app . nothing is happens, (it open and than closed)
Thanks.
Open your project in Xcode.
In the "Products" folder on the left-hand side of the Xcode window, select .app
In the "Product" menu, select "Archive."
When Xcode has finished building your project, the Archive window will open.
On the right, near the top is an "Export..." button. Click it.
You have several options for creating your Archive. The last one is: Export as a Mac Application. That option will simply save your project as an ordinary Mac application. Click it.
You'll then be presented with a dialog in which you can select the destination folder for your application. Choose where you want your application saved, and click "Export."
In the "Finder" go to the same folder you just selected and your application will be there.
~~
To make your application open when you log into your account on your computer, open "System Preferences," select "Users & Groups," select the "Login Items" tab, click on the "+" button, find your application, click on the "Add" button.
I'm writing an OSX App and added an icon for it.
After building in Xcode, I can see the app with icon under Products folder, but when I RightClick->'Show in Finder', the built file is shown without icon. I want the built file to have an icon.
For Mac OS applications, you need to create an .icns file and include it in your Info.plist just like any other project.
Just change icon.png to icon.icns
When I submit an icon image for my app, I never add the .icns extension. It is automatically assumed by the compiler. So for the icon file "icon.icns", simply enter "icon".
I am an iOS developer and did my first Cocoa Mac application using Xcode 4.2, I set the Logo image in the xcode itself and property list, but the application logo still has its default logo (the white sheet with two pens), how can I set Logo for my application?
Design your 512x512 icon and save it as png file. Open Icon Composer (installed with Xcode in /Developer/Applications/Utilities folder) and drag your png file to it and save your icon as icns.
Now in Xcode open your project and select the target. Drag your icns file to the "App Icon" box. That´s it! Build and run again...
You should place icon (icns format file) Your project target -> summary -> drag n drop in App icon box.
you need a .icns file rather than a straight png to get the file icon. This is essentially a collection of images at different sizes that mac os can use for different jobs.
as of mountain lion, the Icon Composer isn't available. You can build your icns file on the command line from a bunch of scaled and named bitmaps, or you can use the simple utility I built to do the job!

I'm trying to find the .app file in my project folders but I can't find it. As I remember it was just to go into the build folder in the project folder and the .app file should be there but now I don't have a build folder in those app.
Thank you in advance!
In Xcode: expand Products then, right click on your app and from the menu click on Show on Finder or Reveal on Finder.
In Xcode 4, build products are stored by default in:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName-lotsofrandomchars/Build/Products/
If you've upgraded to Xcode 4, things have changed. Click Product/Archive to build a release version of your app, then Window/Organizer, and select the Archives pane. Select the archive you just built, then click the "share" button towards the top right.
