I am using XCode 3.0, and checked the bulding settings for the

assume means it was deactivated. I also examined the info.plist
file and added the appropriate strings to the CFBundleExecutable
key and CFBundleName key. I am a novice, so I am sure if any other
keys needed to be changed. Unfortunately these measures did not
fix the problem. I was not able to find an obvious problem when
reading "BPRuntimeConfig.pdf," although some of the material was
out of scope of my understanding.
Any other suggestions?
My suggestion followed from a similar experience I had with Script
Editor a few years ago. Fortunately, I kept notes. (I don't have any
experience with XCode, so they may not apply.) FWIW, here are the
applicable notes ...
1. Everyones privileges and group privileges of the file /Contents/
Resources/Scripts/main.scpt
are changed to read write. (This prevents a -5000 error when a
user tries to use an application
installed by another user.)
3. If a custom icon file is present, its name is written to
CFBundleIconFile and the generic icon
file is removed.
4. .... (Writing ProjectName to CFBundleExecutable prevents the
application from becoming
unlaunchable if its displayed name is changed in the Finder.)
5. Renames the Unix Executable File in /Contents/MacOS/ and the .rsrc
file in /Contents/
Resources/ with the ProjectName. (If this isn't done, the
process name of the application
will always be applet or droplet, which is undesirable.)
Note: "ProjectName" above, refers to the name YOU give to the
application.
Hope this helps!
