Вы должны использовать Launch Services , чтобы сделать это, в частности, функцию LSFindApplicationForInfo()
.
Вы используете это так:
#import <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>
CFURLRef appURL = NULL;
OSStatus result = LSFindApplicationForInfo (
kLSUnknownCreator, //creator codes are dead, so we don't care about it
CFSTR("com.apple.Safari"), //you can use the bundle ID here
NULL, //or the name of the app here (CFSTR("Safari.app"))
NULL, //this is used if you want an FSRef rather than a CFURLRef
&appURL
);
switch(result)
{
case noErr:
NSLog(@"the app's URL is: %@",appURL);
break;
case kLSApplicationNotFoundErr:
NSLog(@"app not found");
break;
default:
NSLog(@"an error occurred: %d",result);
break;
}
//the CFURLRef returned from the function is retained as per the docs so we must release it
if(appURL)
CFRelease(appURL);
