howver, i get the path of the alias, i've read the ObjC code and it looks correct, very similar to Apple's writing.

something i misunderstood ?

It sounds like you're trying to resolve an alias *file* rather than an alias *record*. BDAlias and the File Manager documentation on resolving aliases are all about manipulating and resolving alias records.


For example, when you pass a path to -[BDAlias initWithPath:] you're creating an alias record that points to the file located at that path. You're not creating a Finder alias file at that path which points to some other file.
