What's the earliest code that runs as my app starts up? I ask because I ran
into a problem today where a widget's initWithFrame referred to the
standardUserDefaults, but it turned out that the standardUserDefaults had
not yet been initialized because my call to register the baseline defaults,
in a class's +initialize method, had not yet been executed. I guess I was
assuming that a class's +initialize method would be called before any
instance's init method, but no. (I thought that because an example in the
docs seemed to imply it.) So where can I put code such that I can count on
it to be executed earlier than any other code? Thx - m.

If the view is in a document based app's document NIB, then applicationWillFinishLaunching: is a great location.

Otherwise, stick it in main:

main() {
NSAutoreleasePool *p = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile: [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleWithPath: @"MyRegistrationDefaults" ofType: @"plist"];
[p release];
.... nsapplicationmain() ...
}
