- Thread-topic: header files in application bundle
I just created a cocoa app from the default cocoa app project in xcode,
added one controller.h and one controller.c file, and in the built
application bundle I find the header:
myapp.app/Contents/Resources/controller.h.
I then looked into some other apps I built and found they have headers
there as well.
There are others though, that don't. ???
Maybe I have some build setting set that causes this to happen?

In what Cocoa app? In general apps aren't packaged and distributed with
headers. Public frameworks need to have headers for obvious reasons, but
that's a different matter all together.

Nothing that I can think of - at least not in the general case.
One of my apps have a public plugin API. I used the default location for
headers to distribute the header file with the protocol declaration for
plugins for this app. Not that there is any technical reason why I
should place it there, but it was convenient (as the tools supported it
out of the box).
