Hello! I'm trying to build a System Service (the stand-alone kind that
lives in /Library/Services/ and has a .service extension instead of .app)
and while i've been able to find sufficient documentation on how to put
together the info.plist file and the needed methods, i haven't been able
to find docs on how to set up Project Builder to do this. I've started
with a 'Cocoa Application' and changed what needs to be changed (like the
.service extension). My question is, what else should i do. I don't want
the service to launch with it's own menu bar and dock icon (if that's
possible), the only UI i want is the panel that will pop up telling the
user how far along it is in processing the requested data. Thanks for all
the help!
Unless somebody will send a better advice, I am afraid you'll have to make
a "foundation tool" target, and add all the remaining stuff, including the
Info.plist and others, yourself (probably using some copy and/or script
phases).
It looks like a bore and really it is, but *so far as I know*, there seems
to be no other way. Of course, you probably could make a PB template for
that yourself, but it would be just as difficult and more, due to the fact
you would want to keep it generic.
