Run NSRunLoop in a Cocoa command-line program

by

The solution is to invoke NSApplication manually. Create your app delegate first than replace the NSApplicationMain() call in main.m with the following:

AppDelegate * delegate = [[AppDelegate alloc] init];

NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

NSApplication * application = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
[application setDelegate:delegate];
[NSApp run];

[pool drain];

[delegate release];

The delegate will be invoked when ready, without needing a nib

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
