I am writing a "Foundation tool" - a command-line utility that uses
Objective-C and the Foundation framework, and I'm trying to save preferences under the application domain.. My understanding is that you would need a bundle identifier to do this, but if it's just a tool, can it have a bundle
identifier?

Or, do I have to use CFPreferences?


You can use CFPreferences if you wish, but if you use NSUserDefaults, the defaults will be written to a plist file with the same name as your executable if it has no bundle identifier. That might be good enough unless your tool has a very common name or something.

I haven't tried it, but I've read on ADC that there is a way to embed an info.plist file in a tool by using this linker flag:
-sectcreate __TEXT __info_plist $(SOURCE_ROOT)/$(INFOPLIST_FILE)
