Thanks, Michael. I just figured out what was going on, and you're absolutely right.
My helper's name is alphabetically before the main executable. LaunchServices was choosing it to be launched as my application, and the exit code (I should have realized) was the helper not understanding the arguments passed to it by launchd. What's perplexing is that LaunchServices clearly knew about the CFBundleIdentifier, since it is included in the log message, but didn't pick up on CFBundleExecutable. Could the helper's shared instance of NSWorkspace not be affected by the new copy of the application appearing or by the call to LSRegisterURL()? I'll try to reduce it to a test project and file a radar... The helper has been moved to Resources and all is working. -Sidney On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 11:12 PM, Michael Ash <michael....@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 7:28 PM, Sidney San Martín <s...@sidneysm.com> wrote: >> I just discovered a new behavior that might be helpful.
