I setup a small installer using AS to configure updates for one of my databaseApps.
I remember that there was a very fast way to find that out by referring to to the databaseApps plist which is "4d.com.Clarissa.app.plist".

I just can“t remember how it worked. Can somebody please point me into the right direction?

If you mean how to read its preferences, it's:

	do shell script "defaults read 4d.com.Clarissa.app"


If you mean how to read an application's Info.plist it would be the POSIX path of the plist but without the extension. So;


do shell script "defaults read /System/Library/CoreServices/ Finder.app/Contents/Info"
