building a standalone executable in xcode

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to build a standalone executable in xcode. The problem is that when I run the program in xcode or I go to the Debug folder (or Release folder) and double click the exec file it created there, the application runs with either the run log or the terminal. I don't need a command line tool for this project and when it is open it does not allow me to click on the menu bar I have created. I have src code for an application that has a menu bar and when I run the application in xcode I can't click or use the menu bar either. So basically, I know it's not a problem in the code.

Long story short, I need to make an "application" file and if anyone knows how to do that and could shed some light I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Netta
