Great, thanks. Garbage Collection is not currently being used. This code previously was built with the 10.4 SDK which did not support GC. Now it builds with the 10.5 SDK, so I would assume is GC capable. Is GC as easy to implement as toggling the GCC_ENABLE_OBJC_GC build setting to either supported or required? It was set to unsupported. I changed the setting to supported, and my code compiled and linked fine. However, the debugger reported FlashInApp.framework was not built with GC and stopped. Perhaps there is a version of Flash'In'App framework that supports GC, I don't know. > If you were to check the console (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) when > you launch your app from the Finder, you'd probably find the same error > logged there.

You were right, those same messages appeared in Console.app. It didn't occur to me to check there. Like you said, uncaught exceptions should be treated as crashes regardless.

Could this memory management issue have existed even when this project was being built with Xcode 2.5 and the 10.4 SDK, or is it something that was introduced to build with Xcode 3.2.1?___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Yes, that's why I was thinking resource. As far as I can remember, I didn't touch the plist file going from Xcode 2.5 to 3.2.1. However, I noticed a new key, CFBundleDisplayName, in my 3.2.1 info.plist file. I'm not too familiar with the make up of a plist file. Did the format of the info.plist change between versions? Regardless, there seems to be an erroneous in there. Perhaps something got mangled along the way from 2.5 to 3.2.1? I need to bone up on info.plist. Thanks.

Yea, I was still sleeping when I responded to that last post. ;) Turned out that resource CFBundleDisplayName/CFBundleDocumentTypes should not have even been in the plist file for this app in the first. It some how inadvertently was appended. Lesson learned. errr.___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
