I have a Cocoa-based System Pref Pane and it will need to
communicate with a
Carbon-based background app (no GUI) to do some work. The Carbon
app is
meant to be embedded in the Cocoa's bundle so the user sees only a
single
app/file.
I have a Cocoa Sys Pref that communicates with a C daemon.
Can I put these into a single Xcode project?
Yep. That's the way I do it. The build process can put the faceless
app in the Pref Pane's bundle for you, as well as building it first
if it has been touched.
Is there anyway to debug both at the same time?
Ah, that's a little tricky - some other Pref Pane developer said they
wrote a very small additional app that just hosted their pref pane,
then debugged the host and the pref pane together. That's because
debugging System Preferences is a bit hard without the source.
Debugging the faceless app is another problem in itself. I'd suggest
debugging it separately - one code base for one executable. Any
reason you need the running at the same time? If they both have to be
running, I'd suggest building one as deployment and one as
development and debug one at a time (that's what I do with a
different, client/server project). Just simplifies things a great deal.
Both are Universal Binaries if it matters.
Doesn't matter much AFAIK - Xcode will adhere to what ever build
settings you have for each target.
