Have you ever wanted to make your application not appear in the dock and not display its own main menu bar?

For example, say you have an application which is to be accessed as a menu icon in the Status Bar (where you have the icons, or sometimes, text, for Airport, Volume, Date/Time, Spotlight etc.). This application only wants to be visible in the status bar – it doesn’t want to have its own main menu bar or appear in the dock.

Simply go into the Info.plist file in your Xcode project and add the following:

LSUIElement
1

Save, Build, and Run. Your application should display any windows it is supposed to show at startup, but now it will not appear in the dock or have its own menu bar.
