For issues with ancient versions of the OS, the smart strategy is: Patch It and Move On. Even if there were an Apple engineer or two that worked on this behavior three years ago, they are no doubt totally consumed with iOS 8 or whatever comes after Mac OS X 10.9. > 1.

Just assume that it is random. This way you're covered if it changes again in Mac OS X 10.9 or beyond. > I cannot think of any scenario where you'd want to process the URL launching > event *after* the callback which signifies app launch completion. That just > seems wrong. It could be, but exactly analogous behavior occurs when an app is launched by double-clicking a document in Finder: -[NSDocumentController openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error: runs *before* -applicationDidFinishLaunching. But when an app is launched by an AppleScript 'open' command, -applicationDidFinishLaunching runs first. > when the applicationDidFinishLaunching method is invoked first, the app > fails, because it doesn't have the launch URL which has information needed to > run the app You need to change your design so it works either way. Move any code that requires the launch URL out of -applicationDidFinishLaunching. It probably belongs in some derivative of -handleGetURLEvent:withReplyEvent:. If there is code that needs to be done in -applicationDidFinishLaunching before you can handle the URL, write a -startUp method and put this code in -startUp, and invoke it within both methods. Use a BOOL isStartedUp to prevent it from running twice.
