How do I set an OS X application bundle's working directory?

Question

Is there a key I can set in my application bundle to set what the working directory will be for the executable? It needs to be the $BUNDLE/Contents/MacOS directory (because of some library dependencies that do runtime loading that I can't easily modify).

I'm aware this can be done by wrapping with a script instead but I'd rather not.

No, there is not. However, you can just add an appropriate chdir() in your main() function before calling NSApplicationMain.
