If you have full control of both applications, try making the writer do its work on a temporary file and move it in place when done. Look at the atomic writing messages that do a flavor of this. You might find the FSEvents mechanism something to consider if you're watching a dump folder where the

Thanks Scott, this is helpful and good to know. In the meantime I have played a little with lsof on the command line, and it seems to sort of answer the question wether or not someone has a file open with authority... but it's very slow. Just to enlighten me, why can't there be no absolute way

And you also have add code to verify a valid receipt. There's a few samples of how to do this on github (you should modify them to make the app more difficult to crack unless you're giving the app away for free). Apple has more about this that you can read once you join the developer program.
