Developers can already use Growl in their app without the user having installed Growl and notifications will work as required.
At least that seemed to have been the case with apps using Growl because I still see notifications but don't have Growl installed since they went paid.
- malandrew 15y agoBut don't you need to have the previous version of growl installed or be using the Snow Leopard version? I was under the impression that a user on Lion or later, would not have access to growl without paying for it. I'm specifically talking about the use case, where one of your users isn't already a savvy current growl user, but just a regular joe that is unlikely to have ever installed growl. In other words, the use case where the kind of person using your app will miss out on notifications because they don't know better and won't install a third party notification tool.
- X-Istence 15y agoI have a completely clean environment without Growl installed at all. Apps that use Growl still notify me, I just don't have a way to change the frequency or anything like that unless they give me a preferences menu inside of the app.
- malandrew 15y agoDid not know that. However do those notifications persist so you can review and dismiss them later, like with the notification center on iOS and how it is going to be on Mountain Lion? Or do you you have to notice the notification at the moment it is emitted?
