Mac: NSWindowController, view does not open after it's closed

This is probably something simple that I am missing but this is what is happening:

I am making a Menu item app (application is agent = YES)

So I have a MainViewAppDelegate that kind of runs the entire thing. It gets a detection when a button on the menu item gets clicked.

Then I have an upload NSWindowController:

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

@interface UploadView : NSWindowController
- (IBAction)upload:(id)sender;
@end

.m:

-(id)init {
    if (! (self = [super initWithWindowNibName:@"UploadView"])) {
        // Initialization code here.
        return nil;
    }

    return self;
}

In MainViewAppDelegate, when that button is pressed I do:

if (!uploadView) {
    uploadView = [[UploadView alloc] init];
}
[uploadView showWindow:self];

Now, this works as long as I don't click out of xcode. Once I do that (say I make chrome the active tab) then it does not work anymore even if I go back to xcode.

Any thoughts?

All I had to add was:

[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

before trying to open the window.

I dont see any issue in the UploadView code. But can you try connecting the UploadView Panel in xib to File's Owner window outlet and try. I created a similar demo now and tried and i dont see any issue.
