I think the primary issue with this approach is that the app may not get as far as main.

If the app uses a symbol from the frameworks that is not available at runtime, dyld will fail to load the binary.


Ah *ha* ... you are of course absolutely right.

I confess I hadn't even thought this issue. Alas it seems Aaron's suggestion is probably the only real solution until we're so far past 10.5 (where the issue is supposed to be "good and fixed") that we react with shock when we learn the user is still using 10.5.

  That sucks.

Thanks for the shot of common sense, though - that was pretty lame of me. ;-) I completely failed to think the problem all the way through. I guess it's obvious that the app I tested this on uses some pretty plain (old-school) Cocoa. :-)
