Faceless tool with AppKit frameworks?

Hello,

I have a tool that I launch through the security framework for doing authenticated stuff. This tool started out as a foundation tool project template, but I have since added the AppKit framework to one of the classes to be able to access NSWorkspace (iconForFile:) methods.

Is this a problem? I don't want my tool turning into a visible application, I want it to remain a faceless background tool. This tool is compiled into a single file binary, no application bundle here, so there is no info.plist to modify with values for the NSUIElement or NSBGOnly keys?

Where do I find information on this topic in the manuals? I tried to search a bit in the Cocoa documentation, but it seemed to be a bit too high level for this problem
