I'm using the new XCode and trying to build an NSUIElement. In the
info plist I've added the line to do that. NSUIELement 1. In the IB I
created a menu with 1 item in it. It is connected to the controller as
uiMenu. However when I launch the application no icon shows in the
dock

That'd be because you made it a UI element.

and no menu ever appears in the status menu. below is the code
used to set up the menu: What's most frustrating is that this code is
cut from another application of mine that does work it just doesn't
work in the new app. So either I';m missing something or I am not
connecting something correctly in IB

-(void)setupIcon
{
	NSImage * icon = [NSImage imageNamed:@"bsf.icns"];
     [icon setScalesWhenResized:YES];
     NSSize size = NSMakeSize(16.0,16.0);
     [icon setSize:size];
     menuItem = [bar statusItemWithLength:18.0];
     [menuItem retain];
     [menuItem setImage:icon];
     [menuItem setHighlightMode:YES];
	[menuItem setMenu:uiMenu];
}

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
	NSLog(@"Awake from nib");
	[self setupIcon];
}
