Okay
How i will perform these two operations in my uninstall.app
1. Removal of app icon from dock if Keep in dock is selected

hello again
From what i understood till now, i have written some Applescript (my first)
to do the uninstall.
My approach here is-
1. I have two Application Bundles (created from Script Editor)-
Uninstall.app and DeleteAll.app
2. Delete.app resides inside the Resources of Uninstall.app.
3. When

Why do you need two different apps? Just have Uninstall.app delete itself when
it finishes.
do shell script sudo cp -R ' ourPath ' '

If you move a running application, then NSBundle will return the old obsolete

I've seen uninstallers in the form of AppleScripts. They're easy

Hello All
I want to write a uninstaller for my app.
What this un-installer need to do is- delete some files an the main app, and
then delete itself.
Steps what i found are
1. Un-install app will run a shell script to delete all.
2. It will use launchd to delete itself.

Are you sure it needs one? Most Mac apps don't have or need uninstallers. If
you want to remove an app, you just drag its icon to the Trash. (There might be
