I have this app that has no windows. It just sits on the menu bar. It is not a service or a daemon. Just an app with no windows. I add the key "Application is agent (UIElement)" = YES to its Info.plist. This app has a helper to make it launch at login. The helper will not launch this app. The helper runs but does not launch the app. I make "Application is agent (UIElement)" = NO and everything works. Steps to Reproduce: Create an app that just sits on the menu bar, add Application is agent (UIElement) YES to Info.plist and make this app launch at login. app will not launch. turn Application is agent (UIElement) NO app will launch Expected Results: helper should launch app Observed Results: helper runs but fails to launch app Version: 10.12.5 Notes:
