macOS Defining An Application's Self Path?

[Darkroom]

so in theApp.app's code it's possible to define the path of this app that is placed in a specific folder:

#define applicationPath @"/Applications/[I]theApp.app[/I]"

but this reference doesn't work if the user places theApp.app on the desktop, or in the downloads folder, etc... is there a way to define the path of an app using a wildcard or something?

Since you're working in Cocoa, your best bet would be to use:

NSString *applicationPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]

IIRC, that should return the path to the main bundle of the currently executing application.
