However, in your example you use the mainbundle of the current
application. Is it possible to use this technique when the bundle is
another application ?

i.e. the task I'm trying to achieve is when given an application (any
application on the host system) I'd like to determine what document
types it's associated with.


That should be straightforward also, as all apps have the same layout - the Info.plist is always at /path/to/app/Contents/Info.plist

Given the path to the file, you can directly initialise a dictionary using +[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:<path>] and then proceed as normal. You don't need a bundle, though you could probably create one if you wanted to (never tried it) using bundleWithPath:

Off the top of my head I don't know what path this exactly requires, whether it's the path to the app itself or somewhere (such as / Contents) within the app's package.
