You can use NSBundle to get the application path.
NSBundle* bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString* path = [bundle bundlePath];

Subject: Get current application path


Hello everyone,

I have to run perl script from my cocoa app:

----CODE----
    NSMutableArray *arr      = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSTask *firefoxCheckTask = [[[NSTask alloc] init] autorelease];

    [firefoxCheckTask setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/perl"];
    [arr
addObject:@"/Volumes/MyAppDMG/Installer.app/Contents/Resources/firefoxCheck"
];
    [firefoxCheckTask setArguments:arr];
    [firefoxCheckTask launch];
    [firefoxCheckTask waitUntilExit];

    int statusCode = [firefoxCheckTask terminationStatus];
----END_OF_CODE----

If I run my application(Installer.app) from XCode, all works fine without
full path - I can run my perl script with relative path(something like
"Contents/Resources/firefoxCheck"). But if I run application directly from
Finder, it's working directory became "/". Thus I have to use hardcoded
absolute path.

I think, that it would be more flexible if I get Installer.app path. How can
I obtain it?
