So you know a lot of Mac apps use "bundles": It looks like a single file to your application, but it's actually a folder with many files inside. For a version control system to handle this, it needs to: check out all the files in a directory, so the app can modify them as necessary at checkin, commit files which have been modified a...
Macs are renowned (or bemoaned) for having an extensive number of shortcuts. However, OS X itself pales in comparison to the shortcut lists in TextMate and its bundles. What are some useful keyboard shortcuts you use? ...
I am developing an iphone application and have to parse xml files in order to put them into a database. I will also be using those same xml parsers in my app so users can import their own data. I was wondering how I can extract those xml parsers into a bundle or a library so I can use them both in my iPhone app and in a command line ap...
It seems like Info.plist file has an ability to declare different roles for the same application bundle through the UIRoleInfo key. SpringBoard can recognize these roles after installing an app and may display separate icons for each application role. For instance, iPhone shows MobileSlideShow.app as 2 different programs: Photos and Cam...
I have been investigating for some time now a way to prevent my user from accidently entering a data directory of my application. My application uses a folder to store a structured project. The folder internal structure is critic and should not be messed up. I would like my user to see this folder as a whole and not be able to open it (...
Is there a way to have directories within an .app? At the moment if I add a file into Xcode, regardless of what Group hierarchy it is in, the file always lands in a flat filesystem within my application bundle. Just as an update, I discovered the command: /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsCore.framework/Resources/pbxcp wh...

I have a preference pane bundle (it runs in the System Preferences). I designed the interface using Interface Builder where I binded a "start automatically" checkbox to the Shared User Defaults. This works great but it writes the preference to com.apple.systempreferences. I would like to keep my preferences in the com.example.mybundle de...
I'm porting a c++ Qt application from Windows to OSX and cannot wrap my head around the .app bundle concept. I hope someone can help me understand. My executable lives here: MyProgram.app/Content/MacOS/MyProgram.exe My resource folder lives here: MyProgram.app/Content/Resources/ In my code I use a relative path to reference items in t...
I am developing an application for Mac OS X (I am new to that kind of things) and I want to include online help. The help is generated using doxygen and the help index generated using Help Indexer. I changed the Info.plist to point to the documentation, but when I try to access it, I get the following error: Internet connection requi...
I have an open source project which uses several free libraries, among them the hugest by FAR is Zend Framework. Should I: 1. Release my application with the Zend Framework 2. Release only my app and write a short tutorial on how to install ZF to woek with my app 3. Should I give both options (which is more work, and an open source don't...

If I have a directory in my Xcode project (not a Group), which is added to the main target, and compile it, how do I instruct an NSViewController to initWithNibName:bundle: a nib file inside that directory? I've tried [viewController initWithNibName:@"FolderName/NibName" bundle:nil], but that doesn't work. Neither does without the folde...
Hello everyone, I've got a relatively simple one here. I'm making bundles to live inside the Resources folder of my application (and possibly in the Application Support folder). These bundles will contain template information for the data the application handles. I've constructed a bundle, with extension "booksprintstyle", and the direct...

I know that exe wrappers can do this but what i would like to know is how? so that i can script it and create bundles for multiple OS's not just Windows. ...
A question similar to Locating bundles by identifier, but different problem: I have several applications that need to locate each other's bundles by their ID. That always works well, unless I do a completely fresh install of all my applications. In many cases it's sufficient to point the finder to the install location for the bundle loc...
I've been looking into OSGi for a while and I'm wondering about the best way to deal with "legacy" libraries (that are released as plain JARs, not as OSGi bundles). What do you think is the best way to handle these? Modifying their manifest file and adding the minimal bundle-specific information, then repackaging them is what I do at th...
I'd like to dislay an image in UIWebView using <img src="imageInBundle.png"/> The above image is in my bundle. I load it, along with other HTML in a string, like this: [myWebView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.abc.com"]]; However, I just get a blue box with a white question mark. Is there som...
