How can I add
<key>NSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
to an info.plist file using applescript or terminal? Or is there another way to automatically make an application into a daemon?

plutil -convert text /Info.plist/file/location will convert the file from binary format to text in-place, from which you can then add your new key and value. The command has other options, but I couldn't figure out how to get -insert or -replace working on Mavericks. If someone does, feel free to edit this answer or leave a comment and I'll edit it.

So exactly what would be the code for adding
NSUIElement 1 – user3541125 May 25 '14 at 04:21 -
Add it in using your text editor... plutil converts it to text and then you can use TextEdit or whatever to add it in. – hd1 May 25 '14 at 05:04
