    hig: apps can run without windows open in some cases
    
    In some cases it is appropriate for an app to run without any
    visible windows (examples include a chat or mail app that's
    checking your messages in the background). We should have more
    complete documentation on this, but in the mean time it's best
    not to have incorrect instructions in the hig.
