There are a few ways of using Launch Services to find an application without needing to specify its URL. For example, you can find an application using its bundle ID using:

        FSRef fsRefApp;
        
OSStatus err = LSFindApplicationForInfo( kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR("au.com.foo.Bar"), NULL, & fsRefApp, NULL );

for more details.

Hi all, i'm writing an app that launches some default apps like safari, itunes, iphoto etc using NSTask. I was wondering if there is a way of writing the launch url not fully hardcoded but using some system variables / methods etc.?
