Hi,

How can I get the version number of an Application from an
NSRunningApplication object?

I tried the following, the BundleID looks ok but
“bundleWithIdentifier:” returns nil?

+(NSInteger) getAppVersionNumberWithRunningApp:(NSRunningApplication*)
theRunningApp
{
NSString*			myAppBundleID;
NSBundle*			myAppBundle;
NSNumber*			myAppShortVersionNumber;
NSInteger			myAppShortVersion;

myAppBundleID = [theRunningApp bundleIdentifier];
myAppBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:myAppBundleID];
myAppShortVersionNumber = [myAppBundle
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleShortVersionString"];
myAppShortVersion = [myAppShortVersionNumber integerValue];

return myAppShortVersion;
}

I read the documentation of bundleWithIdentifier: as it returns only bundles that are already loaded. ("Return Value: The previously created NSBundle instance that has the bundle identifier identifier. Returns nil if the requested bundle is not found.")

I think that the following should work:

myAppBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithURL:[theRunningApp bundleURL]];

Bye,
   Daniel
