info.plist

Is it possible to add/remove custom URL schemes for my application while it's running? Right now the CFBundleURLSchemes property is set in Info.plist. smokris According to this discussion on Cocoa Dev the answer is no, custom URL schemes can't be registered programmatically. You must specify them in Info.plist . (but using LSRegisterURL , you can ask Launch Services to reload your application's Info.plist if you programmatically change it. But that's ugly.). Launch Services will do that. Have a look at the Launch Services Programming Guide and the Launch Services Reference for details. (Edit:

I switched to Xcode 4 and loaded my project, which worked perfectly in Xcode 3. When I run it, I get an error that says: The file “Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file. I have looked at the file in Xcode and it is there. So why can't it be opened? That the file exists in your Xcode project folder isn't enough. Have you verified the file is properly referenced in your application target's build settings so it's properly copied into the app bundle? It's not quite the same as a standard resource (ie, it's not made a member of the target in the set of target membership

I have an application that has LSUIElement = 1 in the Info.plist. When I run the application, a dock item and toplevel menu bar is created for it. Why? EDIT: I was using a library that was calling TransformProcessType(), clobbering my Info.plist configuration. Go to your Info.plist file, and add a new key-value pair, or type Boolean. Start typing in the key the phrase "Application is agent". It should auto-complete for you. Then check the checkbox. This is how I create my agent applications, and it works every time! drawnonward The 1 must be a string, not a number (according to the

I have an audio application which works great for iPhone 3.1.x versions. I am trying to upgrade it to iOS4.0 to work in multitasking environment. When I try to create a new UIBackgroundModes key in info.plist , it ("Required Background Modes") doesn't show up in drop down list? I also upgraded the Xcode SDK to 3.2.3, Base SDK to 4.0, deployment target to 4.0 but still UIBackgroundModes ("Required Background Modes") won't show up in info.plist drop down list. I also created test project for 4.0, and its info.list drop down list has "Required Background Modes". Did I miss something? You can add

I would like to associate the last installed version of my Mac OS X application with a certain type of file. A little experimentation shows that the info.plist file seems to be read and interpreted by the operating system when launching the application, not when dragging the application bundle to the disk. Apple's documentation on run-time configuration does not say much on that topic. Is there any way, using a simple .dmg image as installation medium, to make sure the system associates that particular file type with my newly installed app without having to launch it first? I should clarify
