But your app doesn't know which shell he uses, so you'd better create ~/.profile so zsh and ksh will use it as well. When a 'login' instance of bash starts, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile (in that order), and runs the first one it finds. Let's take a very simple case: a user who only ever uses bash, and who doesn't already have any initialization scripts. This'll work, but doing it at all right is going to be messy, because there are several shells the user might use, each with several different possible initialization scripts that the user might or might not have created. The next possibility is to modify (/create) the user's shell initialization script(s). Technically modifying the /etc/paths file would work, but that has the same permissions problem plus it's the wrong way to do customization. The 'right' way to do that system-wide is by placing a file in /etc/paths.d, which requires admin (/root) rights, so that's out too. But creating it (it doesn't exist by default) would require admin (actually root) rights, which isn't allowed by App Store policies. The first 4 directories shouldn't be modified from the system default, so only /usr/local/bin is a possibility. On OS X, the default PATH is /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin.

Instead, what you'd need to do is either put your executable into one of the directories in the user's PATH, or add the directory your executable is in into the PATH. First, a clarification: the PATH is a list of directories that contain executables, not a list of executables there's no way to add a single executable to the PATH.

Has anyone done this before? How did you get it to work? Or can these executables only be executed by code within your application? I tried using an NSTask to create a symlink, but that only works if I disable the App Sandbox (which makes sense).

#DEFAULT FOLDER X BUNDLE HOW TO#

How can I expose this command line executable that is bundled with my application to the user so that they can run it from the command line (terminal)? I have not been able to find anything on search engines or on StackOverflow about how to get this file (or a symlink to this file) into the users PATH. I also have App Sandbox enabled on the Capabilities tab of the project (so that I can distribute my application through the mac app store. When I build my application I see it in the test.app/Contents/MacOS folder when I View package contents on the test.app that is built. I have also added the 'Copy Files' section to the Build Phases tab of the project properties and added my executable with the 'Executables' destination.

Update to BBedit.I have a c++ command line application that I have already compiled into an executable and have added it into my Xcode project. Some notable inclusions are:ДЄlso there is one app in a bundle called IncompatibleAppsList which includes the following string: TextWrangler has been end of lifed. This is example of the one for Transmit: Transmit: this version of Transmit is not compatible with this version of macOS. Many of the apps listed are included only because older versions of the apps are incompatible as noted by the strings included with the bundle. This list is used by the Catalina installation process to show the user a list of currently installed apps that are incompatible. A bundle called IncompatibleAppsList.bundle found in /Library/Apple/Library/Bundles/ in macOS Catalina contains a of list of 235 apps that are incompatible with Catalina.
