No as doing what you are trying to do is banned on the app store. You can only have one executable. Your one executable may not use plugins or launch any other executable code. So if you want to get your app on the app store you will have to think of a different approach.

it's empeded in the code actually it's only one could u give me the manner

I am confused: if you have a single executable within the bundle then you never need to be able to call that executable or pass parameters to it: iOS will automatically run that executable when the user touches the icon for your app in the Springboard. I suggest you describe, in detail and clarity, preferably using full words not "u" and other text-speak shortenings that make you exceptionally difficult to understand, the structure of what you have and what you are trying to accomplish.

I added existing file (compiled.mach-o executable) I want to call it from my application , it'll be embeded , calling this file reuired parameters

This is exactly what I have already told you is banned: you may not call any executable from your own code. All executable code must be compiled into a single executable which is what the iOS Springboard calls.

and I again say how to do that

What part of "you can't" don't you understand?

 

[ali.m.habib]

What part of "you can't" don't you understand?

it's abcjgraound (like batch in widows) it's doesn't have any user interfacce

so it will not as a new program or application

is this available , am I give more explanations

Best regards

This makes no difference to the rules: whether the executable has a UI or not your executable may not start any other executable

so it will not as a new program or application

If it's a different file on the file system then yes, it is a new program at an OS level so will get your application rejected.

The only way to re-use the code is to compile it into your main application executable. If it's GPL code that will, of course, mean you have to GPL all the code to your application.

Whatever you choose to do I'm not going to help any more.

this file wil be embeded in the main application, the outbut will be only one application , I want to use it like batch in windows

You need to statically link any code you want to execute during your main application's build so that it is included inside the main app's one binary file. Everything else, all other binaries or files, are rendered non-executable by the OS sandbox. So adding a mach-o binary to a bundle is pretty much worthless.

you can download the file I want to add and call from here

http://www.zshare.net/download/86883136591de4b6/

u could test using -h as parameter

is this applicable

storescu: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
storescu (for architecture i386):	Mach-O executable [B]i386[/B]
storescu (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit executable [B]x86_64[/B]

Something tells me it isn't going to work on any current iOS device.

I rebuild it and it's now of kind Unix executable file (intel)

is it ablicable to be used ,
note , I rebuild using i386 only

Wonderful. If the iPad had a '386 in it.

Did you read the link I provided in the edit.
