I've built a command-line utility (Foundation tool) in Xcode, using Cocoa. The tool makes use of a 3rd party framework. Everything works OK in Xcode, but how do I deploy this program?

I am writing an IM client for Mac (in python, but an Objective C / Cocoa solution here is fine). I want to detect whether or not the user is currently watching a movie or playing a game in the foreground, or doing anything else that takes up the entire screen.

I have a Mac OS X application in the standard .app format and was wondering what is the easiest way to have a small script execute before the main program does. Is that possible?

Any help on how I can do this? I see in the Requirements tab there is a Results of Script action, and there is also the Preinstall Actions in the Actions tab whic...

I'm using an NSArrayController, NSMutableArray and NSTableView to show a list of my own custom objects (although this question probably applies if you're just showing a list of vanilla NSString objects too).
