Error with [pluginBundle infoDictionary]

  • Thread-topic: Error with [pluginBundle infoDictionary]

My app searches through its PlugIns folder to load Bundles.

My basic code looks like:

- (void)loadPlugins

// some stuff removed

NSString  *appSupportSubpath = @"Application Support/MyApp/PlugIns";

libraryPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSLibraryDirectory,
NSAllDomainsMask - NSSystemDomainMask, YES);

libraryPathsEnum = [libraryPaths objectEnumerator];
while (currPath = [libraryPathsEnum nextObject])
{
  [bundlePaths addObject:[currPath
stringByAppendingPathComponent:appSupportSubpath]];
}

bundlePathsEnum = [bundlePaths objectEnumerator];
while (folderPath = [bundlePathsEnum nextObject])
{
   NSEnumerator*    enumerator = [[NSBundle
pathsForResourcesOfType:@"plugin" inDirectory:folderPath] objectEnumerator];
    NSString*        pluginPath;

    while ((pluginPath = [enumerator nextObject]))
    {
        [self activatePlugin:pluginPath];
    }
}


- (void)activatePlugin:(NSString*)path
{
    NSBundle* pluginBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
    if (pluginBundle)
    {
        NSDictionary*    pluginDict = [pluginBundle infoDictionary];


When I get here, pluginDict  normally has 17 keys, 13 of which are from the
Info.plist, but if I copy a new Plugin to the proper folder and rerun
loadPlugins, the new one I added ends up with only 4 keys as follows:


type = mutable, count = 4, capacity = 4, pairs = (
{contents = "NSBundleResolvedPath"} =
/Users/trygve/Library/Application Support/pzizz/PlugIns/MyPlugin.plugin

{contents = "NSBundleResourcePath"} =
/Users/trygve/Library/Application/Support/pzizz/PlugIns/
MyPlugin.plugin/Contents/Resources

{contents = "NSBundleLanguagesList"} = <CFArray 0x31ef00 [0xa08011c0]>{type
= mutable-small, count = 1, values = (
{contents = "English.lproj"}
)}

{contents = "NSBundleInitialPath"} = /Users/trygve/Library/Application
Support/pzizz/PlugIns/MyPlugin.plugin
)}


It is not reading the actual Info.plist from the new bundle, even though is
sees the correct path information.

Any ideas?

I don't want to make the user quit the app to load new plugins.

Thanks,

Trygve
