Public bug reported:

*** TODO ***

This Objectice-C function is used internally in the end:

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:appName]

Since there is some buzz in the net according problems in 10.9 coming
from prior versions about the usage of this function, I guess we have to
rework this feature. So I take this as a bug.

But the revision of the native features behind the App class is only on the list later this year.
So currently you have to live with the oddities.

Since I am developing Sikuli mainly on Maverick: Until now, I did not
have switchApp problems with apps being in /Applications.

For unsigned apps though, the gatekeeper must be switched off (prefs ->
security&privacy -> general -> Allow .... from anywhere)

--------------------

On mac10.8, switchApp("myApplicationName") works well,
but on mac10.7, switchApp("myAppliationName") doesn't work, but if I call switchApp("/full/path/to/myApplicationName") works well.

So, My question is what rules are for switchApp()?
Why "myApplicationName" doesn't work, but "/full/path/to/myApplicationName" does work?

Thanks.
