I don’t know what you mean here. The question of whether it’s a string literal is irrelevant, since the string is passed as a parameter to a NSAlert method, regardless of origin. Can you show code?

Don’t use this method. The documentation describes it as a “compatibility” method, and so I wouldn’t assume that it behaves exactly as the recommended technique — which is to create a NSAlert object first, then to set the various properties.
Or, since you’ve tried 2 ways to display the contents of your ‘informativeText’ variable and failed, this might be evidence that it doesn’t contain the string you think it should contain.
