You need to see this ...
Your application's 'info.plist' file contains the Boolean key "Application is Agent (UIElement)". If this key is true, then the application will not appear in the Dock when it runs. The default is false.
I don't use launchd, but I don't think this makes any difference. I am currently using OS 10.7.5. (In case it matters, probably doesn't.)
I set this key with an AppleScript of my own design. I don't know if other development environments (Xcode ?) let you do this.
