a cocoa application?

Getting Apple Help to work requires several things to be set in your app,
your package, and your Help .html files. If any one of these things are
wrong, Apple Help "just doesn't work".

What he said. With a cherry on top.

What makes this even more difficult is that sometimes, after you find and
fix the problem, Apple Help Viewer will not recognize the fix because it may
have cached the broken data somewhere and still be using it. So, if you're
SURE everything is correct and are at your wit's end, try my Bigger Hammer
Apple Help Viewer Reset Procedure:

Or, alternately, it may just help to go and do a "clean" (or, to make Wolf happy "clean all") on your application and then build a fresh copy. That usually helps making Finder and Launch Services re- scan the app. Sometimes you also have to duplicate the app and launch the copy because then it has a different path and Help Viewer will re- register it.


Or you just light a candle in the church... that's also helped me occasionally.
