This is basically a convenience for development, so you can set custom configuration info when running your app from Xcode. It’s not a feature to use in a shipping app. You have no control over the argv values sent to an app when it’s launched normally. > What I would like to have is launch my application from the GUI and somehow > pass the command line parameters to it.

No, the Info.plist is read-only and only contains hard-coded settings. What you’re probably looking for is AppleEvents. LaunchServices lets you launch an app and send a custom AppleEvent to it at launch time. The app can then receive the event and do whatever it wants with it. Read the LaunchServices docs for more info. —Jens
