I want to do some stuff when an application terminates, so I added applicationShouldTerminate: and applicationWillTerminate methods to my AppDelegate. However, when I run my app from XCode and then press ⌘Q, neither method gets called.
Now I'm testing by both logging and calling printf, and I don't see any output anywhere when I quit my app. The documentation seems to indicate that this should work. Google hasn't yielded anything useful, and searching GitHub for example code mostly returns applications that watch other applications getting terminated.
Why aren't applicationShouldTerminate: and applicationWillTerminate getting called?
Here's those method implementations in my app delegate:
- (NSApplicationTerminateReply)applicationShouldTerminate:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
printf("printf applicationShouldTerminate");
NSLog(@"NSLog applicationShouldTerminate");
return NSTerminateNow;
}
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
printf("printf applicationWillTerminate");
NSLog(@"NSLog applicationWillTerminate");
}
(I've also tested by making a brand-new project in Xcode, which you can find at https://github.com/noahlt/TestTerminator).
