Yeah, to me it is... although I still agree that it's not an ideal solution for a Cocoa application...

By the way, assuming you change char *args[] = { "-a", "Safari", NULL }; to char *args[] = { "/usr/bin/open", "-a", "Safari", NULL }; the exec* example actually works while the LaunchServices example fails with kLSApplicationNotFoundError.


Mail is not a very good IDE ;-)

Nope, not at all :)


After playing around with it a little, I discovered that you need to actually call it CFSTR("Safari.app") in this case to get it to work correctly... so like anything else in life, since I'm much more familiar with the POSIX/BSD API (and since pretty much every operating system I've ever worked with treats exec* similar) it's a lot easier *for me* than using LaunchServices.

OK.

In fact, I never use LS with app name but with bundle ID instead. It's far more reliable.

LSFindApplicationForInfo(kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR("com.apple.Safari"), NULL, &app, NULL)


That's actually really useful to know... by the way, I'm not actually convinced that the OP knows that exec* is gonna terminate his application...
