App groups, I believe, were introduced in 10.7. The -addSuiteNamed: API has been around since 10.0. > > What I don't get is this sentence in the doc: > > "The additional search lists of the suiteName domain are searched after the > current domain..." I believe that just means that your app’s Domain is searched first, and any common keys would mask out keys in your suite. > > And I'd rather understand exactly what my code is doing than guessing what it > might do. Doesn’t seem mysterious… and would allow you to maintain a suite for each monitor type which could be loaded and unloaded as you detect the presence of a monitor, or based on which monitor your app is running on. As long as your suite keys had a prefix they’d never collide with keys in you app’s main defaults domain.
