I've got an executable file that is written in C which outputs some information I need in my Cocoa App. My question is where do I store this executable file in my project? And what is going to be the path where it is gonna be stored when I release the App?
I've read about the Application Support folder. Printing this out
print(FileManager.default.urls(for: .applicationSupportDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first)
gets me
Optional(file:///Users/cemal/Library/Containers/noorganization.ProjectName/Data/Library/Application%20Support/)
Is this where my binary file will be stored? If yes, where do I have to store it now at build time, so it gets stored in the Application Support folder?
You'll likely want store the additional binary within the .app bundle, in the MacOS directory — Storing it elsewhere could create issues, especially if it's a location that might be inaccessable.
.app/Contents/MacOS
Typically, this directory contains only one binary file with your application’s main entry point and statically linked code. However, you may put other standalone executables (such as command-line tools) in this directory as well.
