i really don' t understand what problem to explain here because for me its not a problem. my (nearly completed app) runs fine on both my macs. but when i send it to a friend running same os the app tries to open and then quits. app compiles w/ no errors or warnings. i'm not new to cocoa but new to distributing a cocoa app and its nearly completed and would like to get it out there. any ideas?

1) Right click on your project within XCode (at the top of your files list)
2) Get Info
3) Click on the styles tab in the new window
4) Change from "Development" to "Deployment"

When your project is set to development XCode will include a lot of debug stuff that only works if the person has the development tools installed also. In some cases I've had development versions of programs not even work at all if the other person has development tools installed.

If you want to debug your program you're going to have to set it back to development mode and then recompile.

That is the correct fix, but I thought it was the ZeroLink (used in Development style) that caused the problem. Ie, it makes no difference if the other machine has the XCode tools installed or not.
