![]() ![]() Apple recommends you have a very light onboarding, so even this is against "best practice" but I would see it as the best way to make an alias if you feel it's the right call for the majority of the users of your app. The most kind way to do this would be to onboard the user and ask if they want any shortcuts the first time they launch the app. The launchpad and dock and spotlight / Siri are the bespoke app launch tools and idioms so you can assume your customers are very familiar with how to start an app they just chose to install. ![]() To accomplish this, you’re either escalating the installer to root privileges to change multiple desktops or you’re ignoring / short cutting the way apps can (or possibly should) get installed for all subsequent users. The desktop belongs to the end user and macOS is designed to install apps for every user account and to consider more than one user per computer.I would say desktop alias creation at install time for an app is an anti-pattern and bad practice for developers to implement as default behavior.
