Answer 1

You'd use:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]

+ mainBundle "[r]eturns the NSBundle object that corresponds to the directory where the current application executable is located." and hence will return an NSBundle object for the application bundle.

[- bundleIdentifier] Returns "[t]he receiver’s bundle identifier, which is defined by the CFBundleIdentifier key in the bundle’s information property list."

You can findle the bundle id from the plist. Right Click in the app file and click on "show package contents". You will find a plist file there. Open it with any text editor and you will get the bundle id.

Not false, but obviously the question was about getting the bundle id from code, not from the finder. You must read carefully the question, and other answers before answering. – Steeplechase

The question was regarding UIA Automation and is not related to source code. We always use app or ipa file for that and not the source code, So you better re read that question – Anatropous

Funny, I would have sworn that "automation" would mean using a script, so, code. – Steeplechase
