How to find the bundle ID of a Mac app
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
I was running a script and I had the need to find the bundle ID of one app I had installed.
The bundle ID is the string that looks like a domain, but written in the opposite way.
Like com.apple.finder
or com.microsoft.VSCode
.
Here’s the script you can use:
osascript -e 'id of app "Finder"'
osascript
is a tool that runs AppleScript. That AppleScript code, id of app "Finder"
, asks the Mac for the bundle ID of the app with the name we passed to it.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs

or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
