I am working on MAC Application in which I have used Helper Tool to do some privilege stuff for my application.

Now How can I check whether command line helper tool already installed or not from my application.

It may be the case where user manually delete the helper tool from \Library\PrivilageHelperTool

Is the app sandboxed? – trojanfoe Apr 22 '15 at 06:46
No app does not have sandbox – Malav Soni Apr 22 '15 at 06:55
And why can't you bundle the helper tool within the app bundle? – trojanfoe Apr 22 '15 at 07:11
I didn't get that can you explain your comment – Malav Soni Apr 22 '15 at 08:51
Okey I got your thought.. To store the Helper Tool in app bundle is useless as it need to be stored under \Library\PrivilageHelperTool to do task as admin. – Malav Soni Apr 22 '15 at 08:55

OK, so to answer your question use `[NSFileManager fileExistsAtPath:]`. – trojanfoe Apr 22 '15 at 08:56
