Login items installed using the Service Management framework are not visible in System Preferences and can only be removed by the application that installed them. The most used/useful way is using the Service Management framework. There are a couple of ways to add a login item to the application. For application developers, it’s a bit tricky.

Initially, I thought that there will be a simple solution to it and it will take minutes only. Recently, I added the Launch at Login feature to MeetingBar.
