Generally, Cocoa developers do not write installers, but instead use PackageMaker to install our apps for us. If it's not software you're installing then, well, I don't know what to tell you. But you still can't stop the user from quitting your app. If they really want to, they can quit it from the Dock in 2 ways (Quit or Force Quit).
The recommended first step is to read the Human Interface Guidelines on what an app should and should not do. If you read and follow the HIG, your users will like you a lot better. -Steven On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 4:20 AM, yogin bhargava <bhargavayo...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi All, > Thanks for your responses.
