There have been several questions & answers lately relating to
NSWorkspace, but none of them provide me with any clues for this
problem. I have several applications which share the same user defaults
(and therefore the same bundle identifier). I'm building an app which
acts as a central co-ordinator for these other apps, getting and
displaying information about them, and I need to know how to get the
information.
The information I want to access is:
- Two Items ("SR1" and "SR2") from each bundle's infoDictionary;
- A value from the shared user defaults (not a problem - just listed
here to illustrate).
I can't find anything in NSWorkspace that seems to fit. The reason for
this, in part, is that this application has to accommodate later
applications with unpredictable names being added to the set. The only
thing they will have in common will be the said bundle identifier. I
have a workaround in mind (building each app so that it automatically
deposits those infoDictionary values in the defaults file when it runs,
and then working from there) but I'd like to know if there's a "cleaner"
approach.
