[CMake] OS X Application plist configuration questions

[Michael Jackson]

The actual code has not been approved for public release but I am trying to narrow it down to a workable example.
  The one thing I have discovered is that I have a function where I build up the app and all the supporting calls to fixup bundle and all that setup stuff. I pass in the source files, name of the executable, libraries, search dirs, plugins and all that sort of stuff. It is within that function that I set all the variables then call add_executable.

  Now, if I set all the cmake variables BEFORE I call my function then I get a valid plist file. Would this type of combination have anything to do with it? Or just a red herring? I was able to reproduce the issue a few times on my system so there _is_ some sort of interaction there.
