Answer 1

You have to use the Service Management framework now. You create a helper application that you add to your application bundle and its job is to run code to launch your main application. Some resources for you:

• Tim Schröder has an excellent blog post on how this is done
• Alex Zielenski has an open source project to aid with this
• I've made a video tutorial on creating it manually
