Why do you want to know?
Typically people asking this question want to access the application
directory because either
1) They have resources stored there. This is bad. Resources should be
stored inside the application bundle.
or
2) Want to write a file there. This is bad. Your application might not
have privileges to write to the containing folder.

Anyway, you can get the path using NSBundle and walk back up the
heirarchy from there, should you find it absolutely necessary.
