There's no runloop running yet when -applicationWillFinishLaunching:
is called. You can see this for yourself by installing a
CFRunLoopObserver in main(), before calling NSApplicationMain. As
such, this is a very sensitive point in the app's life cycle. Among
other things, AppKit's automatically-installed autorelease pool hasn't
been installed yet (which you can verify by putting a call to the
undocumented NSPopAutoreleasePool function in
-applicationWillFinishLaunching:). That's why you're getting all the
autorelease pool warnings on the console.
Then NSRunAlertPanel is going to run the app in a modal mode before
the app has finished setting itself up. I'm not surprised that doesn't
work.
What is there that you can't do in -applicationDidFinishLaunching:?
