Hello all!

Need to get access to the parameters of main function from application delegate method "willFinishLaunchingWithOptions". How it could be?

Fond in ProcessInfo this functionality:

NSArray* oArguments = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] arguments];

But how to get original int argc and const char* argv[]? Or how to convert NSArray* to const char* argv[]?

There’s a couple of ways you can do this:

You can modify main.m to stash away these values somewhere that your app delegate can access them.
You can call _NSGetArgv and _NSGetArgc from <crt_externs.h>.
