hi, list, I have an uninstaller application , which is used to delete the files installed; and also i have a file which located in the current user's directory, like the ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.****.plist. and how can i delete this kind of file, i have tried the AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges API, it seems not workable, do i give a wrong flag value or something else?


NEVER use AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges like that.

That is not what AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges is for.

There is a large amount of documentation on the Apple Developer Connection web site describing how to perform privileged operations correctly and securely. AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges is not how to do so.
