I would like to call/execute the cocoa application (sample.app) from

To launch a GUI application from a terminal window, I would recommend
that you use:
open ./sample.app
Mac OS X GUI applications doesn't take command line arguments, at
least that's not the recommended way to specify how they should
behave. I would strongly recommend that you read up a bit on the
guidelines for how Mac OS X, and Mac OS X GUI applications work. For
programmatic access to preferences in Cocoa applications, see
NSUserDefaults. Preferences can be set on the command line using the
"defaults" shell command, see "man defaults".
That said, environment variables and command line arguments can be
passed to executables launched by Xcode by modifying the parameters
of the current "Executable". See the Xcode manual for more information.
