Re: app won't run from non admin account

As you say, a permissions problem. Xcode produces the application with Read Only Permissions for 'Others'. I changed this to Read and Write, and the program then worked from the non admin account as described below. The odd thing is, when I change back to the original Read Only permission for 'Others' after running the program once, it then works!

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks,

Don

I saw this in a commercial application (!). The problem turned out to
be a framework within the app bundle that didn't have the proper
permissions.

Hope this helps...
