The first thing is don't  COM is a wretched, horrible object model
and can only lead you to heartache and grief.  You would be much,
MUCH better served by relying on the Objective-C runtime that is
built into each and every Mac OS X system.  At the very least you
could avoid the fragile base class problem and insulate yourself from
the potential compiler changes that makes revising an object
interface in COM such a PITA.

If you MUST do something COM-like on Mac OS X, you can read:

But I can't guarantee that the functionality it describes will work.
