Question

Is there a way to programmatically detect/determine if a binary (separate from my application) has been compiled i386, x86_x64, or both? I imagine there is a way (obviously), although I really have no idea how. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated, thank you.

EDIT: I found an example on the Apple developer website, although it’s written in C and setup to be used more as a command line tool. If anyone would know how to implement it into my objective-c code that would be extremely helpful.

• Example [C] code: CheckExecutableArchitecture

Answer 1

- (void)checkArchitecture {

NSArray *bundleArch = [[NSBundle bundleWithPath:@"/path/to/other/bundle"] executableArchitectures];

}
