Re: Question on OS X app submission
Any idea on my original question, though? If I have a helper app embedded in my bundle, with a bundle ID of its own, does the app store need to know about that bundle ID, or just the main one? I have on app in the app store that auto-start. The App Store needs only to know about the “main app” bundle id. The helper app has to be signed, but Xcode took care of it automagically (surprisingly enough). Remember that the app cannot set automatically to autostart, the user must explicitly approve/set. As you probably already know, you have to use SMLoginItemSetEnabled() to set the autostart thing, other methods don’t work for sandboxed app (cfr. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingLoginItems.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/1172i-SW5-SW1).

Re: Question on OS X app submission
I’m using SMLoginItemSetEnabled with the helper app. Thanks for the info! On Sep 21, 2014, at 1:11 AM, Giacomo Tufano g...@iltofa.com wrote: Any idea on my original question, though?

Question on OS X app submission
Hi all - I’ve submitted iOS apps before, working on my first desktop app. My app runs as a status area icon, so I have a helper launcher app that takes care of launching at login. Do I need to do anything special with the bundle ID of the helper app with regards to the submission portal? Or is it enough to just have the binary be at the proper place in the bundle, and to submit with the bundle ID of the main app?

Re: Question on OS X app submission
From the app store guidelines, 2.26. My app does allow the user to set this in the preferences pane. Or is it the status area aspect you think will get me rejected? I guess all I can do is submit it and see what happens. Apps that are set to auto-launch or to have other code automatically run at startup or login without user consent will be rejected On Sep 20, 2014, at 7:34 PM, Graham Cox graham@bigpond.com wrote: On 21 Sep 2014, at 10:12 am, Jim Geist velocity...@rodentia.net wrote: My app runs as a status area icon, so I have a helper launcher app that takes care of launching at login I'm not sure if things have changed, but this type of app isn't permitted on the App Store. --Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Yes, and that’s what I thought. Any idea on my original question, though?
