That's an important one because if the app crashes, then the crash report will say "Revolution" and the user will be confused. CFBundleName can make MacOS display a different name than the executable name, but it's best to just name the executable correctly I think.

Under what circumstances? Perhaps if you've left them empty?

That could be it- not sure.


There are also many keys than can be in Info.plist that
the Distribution Builder doesn't know about.
What do you need that the Distribution Builder doesn't know about?

I'm not sure if anything should be added to DB. It could get overwhelming for the user.


Personally: CFBundleIdentifier would be good to have. I thought it was important but I forget why. CFBundleHelpBookName and CFBundleHelpBookFolder are useful if you want your app's html help to show up in Help Viewer's library of apps. There are dozens of possible keys in the Info.plist; they get really obscure though. I bet the set that DB currently has is good for 90% of apps.

Yep it's easy to edit it in the PLIST editor or a text editor. In some cases
you may need to set keys that the DB doesn't know about as identified above.
In most cases you shouldn't need to though.

And don't forget Property List Editor in the Developer/Applications folder.
