RE: List of registered apps



Now that I'm debugging, it's pretty clear the signature is actually:
	OSStatus _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs(CFArrayRef *outURLs);

I tried all sorts of varieties of CFArray* (CFArrayRef, CFMutableArrayRef
set to NULL, CFMutableArrayRef allocated) before realizing you probably just
forgot the "Ref".

Thanks for the info.  Since my app is CFM I'm thunking to this SPI, so
if/when it goes away I can handle it not being there at runtime.  Hopefully
before that time it becomes an official API or perhaps an alternative API is
supplied and I can have a better solution.

Thanks,

Dave

There is no API for doing this, as far as I know. There is, however,
SPI which exists back across all OS X releases as far as I know:

extern OSStatus _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs(CFArray *outURLs);

However, since this is SPI the standard disclaimers apply: it is
subject to removal without warning at any time, you should
conditionalise your use of it, etc etc.

You should also file a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com/ asking for a
supported way to do this.
