That's good to know! I must have overlooked it in release notes. I noticed that 'info for' does not return the bundle identifier. is there some way to discover the identifier via script?

Not as such, no, but you could fake it with "do shell script":

set a to choose application as alias
do shell script "grep -A1 CFBundleIdentifier " & quoted form of POSIX path of a & "/Contents/Info.plist"

The last line will contain the bundle identifier. Getting *exactly* the bundle identifier is left as an exercise for the reader.

do shell script "
defaults read /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/Info CFBundleIdentifier"
--> "com.apple.TextEdit"


do shell script "
defaults read /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/Info CFBundleSignature"
--> "ttxt"
