One thing that occurred to me: the only non-magical thing that differs
between first run (display dialog, everything works as expected) and second
run (no dialog, no go), is that the app is activated on first run before
putting up the dialog. On second run it is not explicitly brought to front.
Is there any chance adding a [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES] statement
in -applicationDidFinishLaunching, just before getting the status bar, could
make a difference? This is a faceless agent, btw.
My code:
- (void) awakeFromNib
{
if ( [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"FirstLaunch"] )
{
// if this code is executed on 10.5.8, everything works fine. If
not, assertion failure...
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
[[NSAlert alertWithMessageText:@"Hello" defaultButton:@"OK"
alternateButton:nil otherButton:nil informativeTextWithFormat:@"Welcome"]
runModal];
}
}
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
NSStatusBar *statusBar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar];
statusItem = [[statusBar statusItemWithLength:26] retain];
NSRect frameRect = [[statusItem view] frame];
MyStatusItemView *theView = [[MyStatusItemView alloc]
initWithFrame:frameRect];
[theView setDelegate:self];
[statusItem setView:theView];
[theView release];
}
