It's never been a good idea to manipulate the .plist file directly (for instance you can't be sure that the Dock process will not save its settings when it quits). I would suggest to check with dockutil (https://code.google.com/p/dockutil/) or emmett (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/DevPotPourri.html) whether this works more reliably.

Hi Conor, I tried by using both sudo and without sudo. Both of them don't work in Mavericks. Earlier, the logic was to delete the icon entry from the com.apple.dock.plist file using plistbuddy and to kill the dock. After the dock restarted, it had the icons for which an entry was present in that plist. Now, even if the entry gets deleted from that plist, after restarting dock, changes are not reflected. Is dock referring to some other place as well, some cache or any other file?

Thanks, Vikram

Hi,

Does anybody know any way to remove an icon from the dock on new OSX Mavericks? I have been doing this so far (till 10.8) by removing the icon entry from the com.apple.dock.plist and then killing the dock. However, it doesn't work on Mavericks. I was able to remove the icon using NSUserDefaults however, but it also fails when my app (uninstaller) runs with elevated privileges. Any other idea/solution would be helpful.
