No dock icon for app made with Automator

No section on here for Automator?
I've made an app with Automator. It runs OK and has the same icon as Automator when saved to the Applications folder but when I run it, no icon appears in the dock. Is that normal or have I missed something? There's a rotating cog in the menu bar to show that the app is running (so I can stop it from there) and I can see its actions taking place but I was expecting a dock icon like all other apps.

baltwo - I'd already left it on the dock but there's no "indicator light" to show it's running and no "quit" on the dock menu. It's no problem it's just not standard app behaviour.
Interesting, since AppleScript apps do show the indicator light.

  • Application made with Automator doesn't work

    An extremely simple app made with Automator fails with Lion athough it works fine in Snow Leopard.
    I just use the action "New folder" to create a folder with some fixed name in "Desktop"
    When I test it in Automator is does what it should.
    When I save it as an Application and double click it, it does nothing.
    Should be easily reproducible.

    I believe that I have solved this.
    The problem did not go away by itself. After rebooting Automator apps either worked, or they did not work.
    This was true for all automator-made apps, not just the one described above. Nothing do to with Desktop
    or creating a folder there. Sometimes there was no problem after three successive reboots, then it came
    back again. All automator-made apps were blocked on my account, but not on a second user account.
    The origin of the problem is, apparently, that I used two Automator-made apps as a startup item on login.
    This has always worked fine under Snow Leopard, but it seems that lion cannot handle that. I suspect some
    kind of timing problem. The apps do seem to start a lot faster in lion, and perhaps they somehow get
    into each others way and then block anything else.
    Now I have combined the two apps into a single one, and the problem has not come back.
    In that sense I consider it solved, but I would still like to know what is really going on.

  • Usage of legal fonts for my future app made with DPS?

    Hi, I'm about to produce an app made with Adobe DPS - and wonder about the font issue: what fonts am I allowed to use for my publication? I will sell the app later in AppStore, as a 'magazine-feeling' educational app. Export images and type as pdf in folio.
    I know Adobe developed an open source font, the Adobe Source Sans Pro (and later also Adobe Source Serif Pro) - am I allowed to use those fonts in my app - is it ok?
    What about the fonts that are included in my InDesign from Adobe? Can I use them in my app too, or?
    Does anyone know exactly that is leagal to use? I think this question is difficult to find answers to - help really appreciated
    All the best, Christina

    Hi to all!
    I thought, this whole legal font licensing stuff was a bit more complicated, and I'm glad that I found this thread.
    First of all, the list Bob posted says, that "you may embed copies of the font software into your DPS content without any additional license extensions or per-use costs". If I understand it right, this does NOT mean that you can use any of the listed fonts without purchasing a license from Adobe. It only means, that you can use them without any ADDITIONAL license for mobile app usage.
    Christina is looking for a free to use font without the need to purchase any license at all, am I right?
    On the other hand the FAQs on http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1341590-typekit-font-licensing say, that
    "Neither the Typekit sync font license or web font license allows you to embed the fonts within mobile or desktop apps. Currently, this requires the appropriate license to be purchased directly from the foundry or one of their authorized resellers."
    In Typekit you can choose if the the desired font should be available for web use and/or for desktop use. It would be nice if there was a third option for mobile app use. This and other facts show me, that digital publishing through Adobe and the usability and accessibility of it's related services is still improvable. Well of course it is and you guys really do a great job!
    To make a long story short: I'm still really confused.

  • Icon for Apps vs. iTunes

    Why is there a separate icon for Apps in the dock when iTunes has the same functions, or does it?

    The icon is the Dock is for the Mac App Store, where you buy applications for Mac OS X. The iTunes Store offers apps only for iOS devices. So no, they're not the same.
    Regards.

  • Am i allowed to publish an app made with the AIR 3.5 SDK in the app-store yet?

    Hello,
    Am i allowed to publish an app made with the AIR 3.5 SDK in the app-store/android market? Im quite confused about this since AIR 3.5 has already been released yet the SDK remains in Beta.
    I know that in the past it was not allowed to publish an App with an Beta-version of an SDK.
    Can anyone clear this up for me?
    Kind regards,

    AIR 3.5 beta removed the watermark, and I actually released an app to the app store with the beta version. I'm not sure if Adobe intends to continue with this for future releases or if it was just for iPhone 5 stuff that needed to be released quickly. AIR 3.5 is currently out of beta though and was actually updated today, so feel free to use it to submit apps to whichever app store you would like.

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

    Did you update your operating system?  If so, did it solve the problem?  I have not updated my OS because so many people complained that the newer Os's had problems.

  • Best practices for apps integration with third party systems ?

    Hi all
    I would like to know if there is any document from oracle or from your own regarding best practices for apps integration with third party systems.
    For example, in particular, let's say we need customization in a given module(ex:payables) need to provide data to a third party system, consider following:
    outbound interface:
    1)should third party system should be given with direct access to oracle database to access a particular payments data information table/view to look for data ?
    2) should oracle create a file to third party system, so that it can read and do what it need to do?
    inbound:
    1) should third party should directly login and insert data into tables which holds response data?
    2) again, should third party create file and oralce apps will pick up for further processing?
    again, there could be lot of company specific scenarios like it has to be real time or not... etc...
    How does companies make sure third party systems are not directly dipping into other systems (oracle apps/others), so that it will follow certain integration best practices.
    how does enterprise architectute will play a role in this? can we apply SOA standards? should use request/reply using Tibco etc?
    Many oracle apps implementations customizations are more or less directly interacting with third party systems by including code to login into respective third party systems and vice versa.
    Let me your know if you have done differently and that would help oracle apps community.
    thanks
    rrb.

    you want to send idoc to third party system (NONSAP).
    what kind of system is it? can it handle http requests
    or
    can it handle webservice?
    which version of R/3 you are using?
    what is the mechanism the receiving system has, to receive data?
    Regards

  • Can I upload apps made with xcode Interface Builder to the App Store

    Like my title says Can I upload apps made with xcode Interface Builder to the App Store? I'm currently making an app with the interface builder from xcode and I was wondering if I could upload it like that to the App Store.
    Please help me with this.

    Hi seba,
    In order to be able to submit apps to the App Store, you need these things:
    1. An Apple ID
    2. Join the Mac developer program ($99) https://developer.apple.com/programs/mac/
    Once you've got these, you're free to submit your created applications to the App Store. It should walk you through the process

  • App made with App Builder V32.1 on iOS 8 doesn't install on iPad

    Hi,
    I got a problem with an App with subscription made with App Builder V32.1 on iOS 8.
    The process was ok, no error message, i download the .ipa and then I upload on my iPad using iTunes. I have synchronized everything and then I saw my App on the device but the icon is darker and there is a text under the icon that report the App is still under installation.
    Any idea?

    Hi Neil,
    I appreciate your answer but unfortunately you are wrong, at least for my case  :-)
    I delete the old mobileprovision files, I made a new App ID and associate with the devices and then I built new mobileprovision files... and it still doesn't work.
    After a day spent to try to understand the problem, I solved making a new couple of certificates and then it works.
    I don't know why, the "old" certificates are used in other Apps and they are still valid.
    This solution works but now I have to verify if is it possible to update the oldest App with a new one made with another certificate. The Apple Developer credentials are the same but there is not documentation about this issue.
    Ciao,
    Andrea

  • Icon for app is in iTunes, but the app itself is missing

    iTunes says that it can not sync the apps in my iTunes library to my iPhone because it can not find the apps on my computer. So, I try to redownload the apps in the iTunes store and it says I have downloaded them already. I have the icon for the app in iTunes but my iPhone can not find them when they sync with the computer.
    My mobile application folder has been erased. What should I do to get the apps and their data back? The data for the apps should still be in the back up of the iPhone (which I did a wired back up to my computer, not iCloud).

    What device or mac are you using and with what OS?

  • Any WP apps made with Cordova/PhoneGap?

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but are there any WP apps out there made with Cordova/PhoneGap? I'd love to see how well they work in IE's rendering engine. At the moment, I'm concerned about performance issues with scrolling, events, animations,

    I can't find any sample apps there other than the ToDoList app. I was hoping to see a more comprehensive list.
