Mac OS cocoa app call command line tool fail in 10.15 - xcode

Question

I want to create a cocoa app to call command line tool written use c++.
I can do it well when use Xcode to call command line tool.
but It fail when I close Xcode, double click the app and press Update button to
run command line tool.
I've tired to use NSTask to call command line tool but it still fail.
These is my code.
- (IBAction)Update:(id)sender {
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(IspUpdate) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
}
-(void)IspUpdate {
strCurDir = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSRange range = [strCurDir rangeOfString:#"/" options:NSBackwardsSearch];
NSRange rangeDir = NSMakeRange(0, range.location + 1);
strCurDir = [strCurDir substringWithRange:rangeDir];
NSString *strCmd = [strCurDir stringByAppendingString:#"ISPTool --isp --fw fw.bin --comm 6"];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(QOS_CLASS_UTILITY, 0), ^{
system([strCmd UTF8String]);
});
}

Please run this demo and see if it is similar to what you are trying to do. The code will allow you to run NSTask in the app's terminal window by clicking a button. Save the following code in a file called 'runCmd.m' and then compile from the command line using the instructions given below:
/*
Run from Terminal using: clang runCmd.m -fobjc-arc -framework Cocoa -o runCmd && ./runCmd
Should print current calendar when 'RunCommand' button is hit.
*/
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#interface AppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> {
NSWindow *window;
}
-(void) runMyCmd;
-(void) buildMenu;
-(void) buildWindow;
#end
#implementation AppDelegate

NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];

NSPipe *pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[task setStandardOutput: pipe];
[task launch];
[task waitUntilExit];
NSData *data = [[pipe fileHandleForReading] readDataToEndOfFile];
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog (#"\n%#",string);
