Thanks! That is very helpful. I have added a data file in my project as you
suggested.
I come from the linux world, where this sort of things are done in
installation script or package post-install script.
I have never released an App on Mac. Is there any concept of App post
install script?
I just found a link through google.
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution/Introduction/Introduction.html.
I will read it.
Please let me know if there are other simple samples/docs on this.
Thanks,
-W. Shao

how can I add things to the build script in XCode?
