Is LSFindApplicationForInfo deprecated in Mac OS X 10.3.x?

Hi Stéph!

You might check the archives of the Carbon list, LS has been discussed a
lot. There was a change in 10.3.5 (I think, around there) where apps are
not returned unless they are 'trusted' (ie previously launched). I don't
recall the details.

Hum, I hope it's not the real reason because it would be quite a stupid reason. Where is the security in not being able to locate an application? It's launching the application which might be problematic, not finding it.


Additionally:

- I don't see the "Security" alert when I launch this application (in fact I've never seen it on my machine) so this would mean the application is trusted.

- I can launch it using NSWorkspace when it's in /Applications and it can't be found by LSFindApplicationForInfo

I think I'm on my way to file a bug report.
