Hey Dave -
You could start with -[NSWorkspace
absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:] to get a path. Use that path
to create an NSBundle instance with +[NSBundle bundleWithPath:], and
then use the NSBundle to find the name. -[NSBundle
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:] and -[NSBundle localizedInfoDictionary]
can be used with CFBundleName and CFBundleDisplayName depending on
whether or not the application in question has a localized name.
Interface Builder does not have a localized name.
Also, this note (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Articles/PListKeys.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431-110725) seems pertinent:
Before displaying a localized name for your bundle, the Finder
compares the value of this key against the actual name of your bundle
in the file system. If the two names match, the Finder proceeds to
display the localized name from the appropriate InfoPlist.strings file
of your bundle. If the names do not match, the Finder displays the
file-system name.
Good Luck -

Hi everyone,
I've been looking inside NSWorkspace, NSBundle, NSApplication,
NSFileWrapper, etc for some way to get the display name of an
application from it's bundle identifier, but I can't find anything.
Is there a way to do this? For example, if I have
"com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3", I'd like to get back "Interface
Builder".
Thanks,
Dave DeLong
