There was a thread a couple of weeks ago that 10.4.9 is the value returned from the system for 10.4.10
It might be due to the fact that the release number string in the bundle has a syntax of ##.#.#, i.e.: .9 is the "max" number the system can use.

Thanks for the tip. Rebuilding the LS database didn't work, but I now know a new trick.

If I set LSMinimumSystemVersion = 10.4.9, then the app runs on my 10.4.10 system, but if I set it to 10.4.10, then the app won't launch.

I tried putting LSMinimumSystemVersion in my info.plist, and it works
as expected - when I set it to 10.4.11, my application will not open.


Only problem is... when I set it back to 10.4.10, the application
still won't open. I tried removing all copies of the app, rebuilding,
and rebooting. Where is the system caching this information?



Launch Services is caching this data, it should automatically update if the modification date is different to the one it its database. You can use the lsregister tool to force it to re-scan your app: <http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=lsregister>
