Introduction to Runtime Configuration Guidelines Dynamic configuration is a convenient way to adjust the properties of your executable without recompiling your code. Rather than relying on hardcoded information, your application implements slightly different behaviors based on external settings. There are several ways to record these settings, ranging from user preferences to property lists stored with your bundle. Bundles use property lists extensively to store information about the bundle and its contents. The information in these property lists is used by system entities, such as the Finder and Launch Services, to determine what to do with the bundle. For example, Launch Services uses data in an application’s information property list to bind one or more document types to the application. Organization of This Document This document contains the following articles: ■ “Information Property List Files” (page 11) discusses information property list files and how you use them to configure your bundled application. ■ “Property List Key Reference” (page 15) provides a reference for the keys that can go into an information property list file. ■ “The Preferences System” (page 33) discusses the role and scope of user preferences and describes the use of the defaults tool for accessing preferences. ■ “Environment Variables” (page 37) discusses the role of environment variables in configuring applications. This section also covers some of the ways you can establish environment variables for a given user session or process. ■ “Guidelines for Configuring Applications” (page 39) lists the required and recommended configuration options for applications. This article also describes additional ways to configure both bundled and non-bundled applications. Organization of This Document 9 2006-09-05 | © 2003, 2006 Apple Computer, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Introduction to Runtime Configuration Guidelines 10 Organization of This Document 2006-09-05 | © 2003, 2006 Apple Computer, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Information Property List Files Information property list files contain essential configuration information for a bundled executable. Most bundles have at least one file of this type (usually named Info.plist) containing most of the bundle’s configuration information. Other files may also be present depending on the bundle’s contents. All property list files contain text data encoded using Unicode UTF-8 and organized using Extensible Markup Language (XML) code. The XML structure is a great programmatic convenience as it permits the information in the file to be organized hierarchically. Elements of XML correspond to entities such as arrays, dictionaries, strings, and other simple types. Individual properties can represent simple types or containers for other properties. Important: In the sections that follow, pay attention to the capitalization of files and directories that reside inside a bundle. CFBundle and NSBundle consider case when searching for resources inside a bundle directory. Case mismatches could prevent you from finding your resources at runtime. Standard Information Property List Files By convention, a bundle’s information property list file has the name Info.plist. This file resides in the bundle’s Contents directory and contains configuration information for all supported platforms. However, if you want to configure your application differently on different platforms, you can include platform-specific versions of your information property list file. These files reside in your Contents

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • The Open Scripting Architecture: Automating, Integrating, and Customizing Applications
    The Open Scripting Architecture: Automating, Integrating, and Customizing Applications Unpublished manuscript, 1993 William R. Cook Warren H. Harris Apple Computer Apple Computer Research Topic areas: Language design and implementation, tools and environments, components and frameworks, concurrent and distributed systems, databases and persistence. Abstract The Open Scripting Architecture combines aspects of object-oriented programming, distributed computation, database queries, and dynamic languages into a powerful and practical system for automation, integration, and customization of applications and system services. Applications are integrated together with distributed messaging. The messages operate upon user-level application objects, like windows and spreadsheet cells that are identified by queries over properties and document containment structure. A general-purpose scripting language automates message sending and handling, and supports persistence and mobile objects. Applications call on scripting services to customize the behavior of their objects through a generic script management API. 1 Introduction The Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) is a comprehensive infrastructure for automating complex or repetitive tasks, integrating distributed applications and system services, and customizing application behavior. These end-user benefits are supported by a synergistic combination of technologies: distributed messaging and referencing of application objects, object-oriented scripting languages, and script development and management tools. Object-oriented concepts are used throughout the architecture, in the scripting language, the system, and the applications. The OSA is unique in several respects. First, it decouples the clients of scripting services (applications) from the providers of those services (language processors like AppleScript™). This decoupling allows for uniform scriptability across all applications in the same way a graphics toolbox provides a uniform GUI.
