This code works:
- (BOOL)isApplicationAtPath:(NSString*)path
{
BOOL isExectutable = [FM isExecutableFileAtPath:path];
if (isExectutable)
{
BOOL isDir;
NSString *path2;
NSString *path3;
// if it is not a directory so is a carbonApp so -> YES
if (! (([FM fileExistsAtPath:path isDirectory:&isDir]) && isDir) )
{
NSDictionary *attributesDic = [FM fileAttributesAtPath:path
traverseLink:NO];
if ([attributesDic fileHFSTypeCode] == 'APPL') // Classic App
return YES;
else
return NO; //NSLog(@"%d", [attributesDic fileHFSTypeCode]); // DEBUG
}
// checking if "/Contents/MacOS" exist so it'll be an application
*for sure* (COCOA App)
path2 = [path stringByAppendingString:@"/Contents/MacOS"];
if ([FM fileExistsAtPath:path2 isDirectory:&isDir] && isDir)
return YES;
path3 = [path stringByAppendingString:@"/Contents/MacOSClassic"]; //
carbon
if ([FM fileExistsAtPath:path3 isDirectory:&isDir] && isDir)
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
