I don’t think there are any other approaches: * You can’t hide applications from the Springboard. All apps are visible. * You can’t bundle the apps’ binaries inside your main app and start them up, because 3rd party apps can’t launch processes. * You can’t bundle the apps as dynamic libraries and load them in your process, because 3rd party apps can’t contain their own dynamic libraries.* —Jens * Does anyone know the reason for this limitation? It seems arbitrary. I can understand why you can’t spawn processes (it prevents fork-bombs and similar attacks) but what damage can be caused by a bundled dylib? Sure, you can change your build process to make the dylib static, but I’ve had trouble with complex 3rd party code [i.e. the Erlang interpreter/runtime] that has a heavy dependency on dynamic library loading. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
