Get icon for another application in Objective-C

Question

How do I get the icon from another application using Objective-C?

I have tried this so far, however it just returns null:

NSURL *path = [NSU

You can use NSWorkspace, e.g.

NSImage *image = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFile:path];

If you want to use the app bundleId instead of knowing its path, you can do this first

path = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:bundleIdentifier];
