Hi Greg, actually /Users/Shared didn't work either. If I am logged in
as admin it works, but if I am logged in as a normal user it doesn't.
My code is:
#define LOG_PATH_FOLDER @"/Users/Shared/Library/Preferences/"
#define LOG_FILENAME @"MyLog.plist"
#define LOG_PATH [LOG_PATH_FOLDER
stringByAppendingPathComponent:LOG_FILENAME]
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if([fileManager fileExistsAtPath: LOG_PATH_FOLDER] == NO) {
NSLog(@"creating folder %@", LOG_PATH_FOLDER);
[fileManager createDirectoryAtPath: LOG_PATH_FOLDER attributes: nil];
}
logInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:
LOG_PATH];
if(logInfo == nil) logInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

Hi Greg, /Users/Shared may work, I'll give that a shot thanks.

If it's just collecting stats of usage, then why don't you use a
public-readable file in each user's private-writable Library dir.
Or store private-writable public-readable per-user plists in a
public-writable dir like /Users/Shared. Or if /Users/Shared is
unacceptable, then use another dir created for your app, or explain
why /Users/Shared is unacceptable.
If you can avoid having to use AEWP and elevated privileges, it
will greatly simplify things and enhance security.
Just because you *can* do something with AEWP doesn't mean you
*should*.
