Hi,
you can obtain a NSBundle once you get the path of that application by invoking [NSBundle bundleWithPath:fullPath];
after you get the bundle, you can then use your code to modify its info.plist.
HTH,

Hi,

Im trying to build a small utility that will add or set the LSUIElement value of a application when it is dropped onto my application. I have some snippet of code from another application to make it set the value but not create it.

So what im basically asking is how would i go about making it so i can drop the application onto my utility and then for it to detect that applications bundle and set the Info.plist (adding the LSUIElement value if needed)

- (void)dockIconVisibility
{
int menuLocation = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:MenuBarLocation];


    NSMutableDictionary *dict;
    NSString *path;

path = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Contents/Info.plist"];
dict = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path] autorelease];


	if(dict == NULL)
	{
		dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
	}

if(menuLocation == 0)
{
if((![[dict objectForKey:@"LSUIElement"] isEqualToString:@"1"]) && ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] isWritableFileAtPath:path]))
{
[dict setObject:@"1" forKey:@"LSUIElement"];
if(![dict writeToFile:path atomically:YES])
{
NSLog(@"Couldn't write Info.plist.");
//error dialog or exit?
}


//Change the bundle's modification time to let LaunchServices know we've changed something.
if(utime([[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] cString], NULL) == -1)
{
NSLog(@"modify time on bundlePath failed.");
//error dialog or exit?
}
}
}
else
{
if((![[dict objectForKey:@"LSUIElement"] isEqualToString:@"0"]) && ([dict objectForKey:@"LSUIElement"]))
{
[dict setObject:@"0" forKey:@"LSUIElement"];
[dict writeToFile:path atomically:YES];


//Change the bundle's modification time to let LaunchServices know we've changed something.
if(utime([[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] cString], NULL) == -1)
{
NSLog(@"modify time on bundlePath failed.");
//error dialog or exit?
}
}
}
}
