turning app into background app

Hi,

I have an older project where I write to my own .plist to set LSUIElement to change my app from being hidden or non-hidden.  I know this is not recommended and I'm looking for a "newer" way to do this?  I only have a single app here not a helper app so that's why I'm trying to figure this out.  I did read that I could set my app to have LSUIElement - YES by default and then use TransformProcessType to unhide it since there is no way to do it in reverse.  But is this a good practice to do on a regular basis?  I would say that 10% of my users would like to run my app as a background app and the other 90% would like it the normal way.  What can you recommend?  Thanks,

rc
