Can a login item depend on the Core Foundation framework?

Question

For a project I'm making I want to make a login item that depends on the Core Foundation framework. The application is in essence a server that listens to incoming requests, and then hands those incoming requests off to another local application running on the system (that presents the user with a GUI). Is my architecture feasible or recommended?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A login item is just a program. You could make Pages a login item, and I'm pretty certain Pages depends upon the Core Foundation framework.

An alternative, and in my opinion superior, way of doing this is to use launchd.
