This is probably an excellent idea. But while debugging, I think just making the app copy it's helper into LaunchAgents is maybe more convenient. But I will keep your suggestion in mind. But it turns out that copying is not enough. And that NSWorkspace launchAppWithBundleIdentifier:... just does what is in it's name: it launches apps, but refuses to touch LaunchAgents. So: How do I launch my Xpc Helper (which by now sits happily in /Library/LauchAgents)?
