Apple's guide at:
http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Security/RN-CodeSigning/
says:
> Do not put helper applications, plugins, and other separately signed code into
> the Resources directory of a bundle. The Resources directory is directly
> sealed to the main executable. Put plugins into the Plug-Ins directory. Put
> helper tools into the executable directory. Put helper applications (with
> their own bundles) into the support directory.
But at:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles
/Concepts/BundleAnatomy.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001119-107871-TPXREF6
It says a bundle can contain:
> A Frameworks directory contains any private libraries and frameworks used by
> the executable.
> A PlugIns directory contains loadable bundles that extend the basic features
> of the executable.
> A SharedSupport directory contains additional non-critical resources that do
> not impact the ability of the application to run. For example, this directory
> might include things like document templates, clip art, and tutorials.
I have a prefpane that contains two helper applications (which are
themselves bundles). These are currently in the Resources folder, but it
looks like they should move. Do I create a different folder for these?
NSBundle has methods for builtInPlugInsPath, sharedSupportPath but nothing
else.
I need to be able to code-sign one of my helper app bundles. Where should it
be placed?
Thanks,
Trygve
