I need to remove applications that were on the the Dock,
programmatically (running Leopard 10.5.4). Does anyone have a clue
as to how I could accomplish this?
You can access that information through NSUserDefaults as follows:
NSUserDefaults *theDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSDictionary *dockDict = [theDefaults
persistentDomainForName:@"com.apple.dock"];
NSArray *apps = [dockDict valueForKey:@"persistent-apps"];
for(NSDictionary *anApp in apps)
{
NSLog([[anApp valueForKey:@"tile-data"] valueForKey:@"file-label"]);
}
Tread carefully here because you could easily hose the Dock
preferences while doing this.
Here's some more reading on the subject of user defaults:
