Finding applications that link to framework


  • Subject: Finding applications that link to framework

I'm creating a framework which (of course) does lots of fancy tasks, primarily involving communicating between other applications that include this framework. The idea is that the applications will work well together, like Adobe CS and Microsoft Office. I had this hard- coded before, but wanted the ability to allow additional applications by other developers to "join in" on this suite, so I created this framework. So far, things are going wonderfully.

But I am trying to find the best way to have one application locate the other applications which embed the framework. One idea is to have a "preferences-like" file modified by the framework when the application launches, which contains an NSArray of each identifier. But this requires that each application be launched before it will appear to the others. So I was wondering if there is a better way.

This is my very first post here, so I'll provide a little background to help target any answers. I've been programing for about 10 years now in multiple OOP languages. But I'm very new Cocoa, and it's the only language I've used that implements the Model-View-Controller method so well, so I'm just getting the hang of it. So I know programming concepts, but not a ton of specifics about Cocoa.
