Regarding option #2, I see that XCode 4.0+ no longer has templates for installer plugins. Should I assume that Apple prefers people not to use them?

i) You write a Cocoa helper application that will be run by a preinstall script and that will only return when all the listed applications are gone.
ii) You write an Installer plugin that will only the user to move to the next step when all the listed applications are gone. iii) You edit your distribution script to use the feature that lets you define which application are to be quit if running before the installation can proceed (this requires Mac OS X 10.6.something or later):
from the XML documentation:
<pkg-ref id="abc"> |
<must-close> |
<app id="com.example.MyApp"/>
| </must-close> | Each solution has its own inconvenience(s). So you would need to pick the solution that better suits your needs.
