How do I get the FileManager in SwiftUI to read information about the apps in the Applications folder. Lots of apps do it, Alfred, Raycast. It's not something that is unheard of, and yet I cannot for the life of me, using every kind of guide on the internet figure out how to achieve this. Please somebody help, this is legitimately affecting my mental health.
I need to access information about the apps installed in my system
What kind of information are you looking for that you can't access?
You tagged this post with AppKit. And you also mentioned Alfred and Raycast, which appear to be macOS apps. That means you're talking about macOS, where all this information is readily available. From what I understand, you can even get this information on iOS, but it's more difficult there. But on macOS, (almost) anything you want is right there.
