I'm developing an application that registers a service with the Services
menu in Leopard (10.5.8). I've based much of the code on Apple's
documentation of services, and I have correctly set up my info.plist
file with the appropriate keys. The application launches and runs fine.
However, the application doesn't show up in the Services menu, even
after I run /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs.
This is proving very hard to debug. When I launch the application in
this fashion in Terminal:
/Applications/ServiceTest.app/Contents/MacOS/ServiceTest
-NSDebugServices com.codebykevin.servicetest
there is no error logged in Terminal or Console. This tells me that the
service should be registered.
Running this command:
/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs -dump_pboard
produces no output (a Leopard bug, perhaps?) so I can't actually tell
what's registered.
I was able to see the service registered in the "Service Scrubber"
application, in what the app describes as a "zombie service"--grayed
out, unable to be edited. It's listed there as "Untitled Service:
[ServiceTest provideService]," which is the app name (ServiceTest) and
NS method (provideService).
Does anyone have any idea why Service Scrubber would see my service but
it doesn't show up in the services menu?
