is there a way i could find the identifier for an application by it’s name. i.e. “iCal” would return com.apple.ical or whatever.

thanks!

NSWorkspace has a lot of system-user methods. In this case, you probably want to do something like this. –JediKnil

NSString *identifier = [[NSBundle bundleWithPath:[NSWorkspace fullPathForApplication:@”iCal”]] bundleIdentifier];
