Spotlight importer plugin. INSTALL LOCATION?????

I am writing a spotlight importer. It's one of the most frustrating processes I have ever had the displeasure of having to go through several times. It is not only poorly documented, It is Mis-documented. from front to back.

And the tools actively fubar you.

which brings me to this one particular post.


I added the core data spotlight importer target to my app. I had to gut the thing. I'm not using core data. The target is MISSING critical files.

so I build my own schema.xml. and do whatever i can do to get the code to do what I need.


and when I build my app... XCode puts it into the Resources folder in the Application Package.

My build settings explicitly say: @executable_path/../Contents/Library/Spotlight for both debug and run settings.

XCODE is still putting the importer into the Resources folder.


anyone have any hints? because I've about had it for one day of trying to accidentally make a spotlight importer work, with only broken examples of what not to do. This is no way to run a business.
