A thin Swift Package to expose information of the apps on our macOS

Silicon CLI

This Swift Package was created using the core of the Silicon app, created by DigiDNA.

The idea is to expose some informations of the apps inside of your macOS in order to make it easier to identify important informations, such as: the architecture.

Here is a small snippet returned by this CLI:

$ ./silicon -j

Result

{
  "applications": [
    {
      "architecture": "Apple",
      "architectures": [
        "arm64"
      ],
      "bundleIdentifier": "co.teamport.around",
      "isAppleSilicon": true,
      "isSystemApp": false,
      "name": "Around",
      "path": "/Applications/Around.app",
      "version": "0.60.46",
      "isElectronApp" : true
    },
    {
      "architecture": "Intel 64",
      "architectures": [
        "x86_64"
      ],
      "bundleIdentifier": "com.krill.Patterns",
      "isAppleSilicon": false,
      "isSystemApp": false,
      "name": "Patterns",
      "path": "/Applications/Patterns.app",
      "version": "1.2",
      "isElectronApp" : false
    },
    {
      "architecture": "Universal",
      "architectures": [
        "x86_64",
        "arm64"
      ],
      "bundleIdentifier": "com.apple.dt.Xcode",
      "isAppleSilicon": true,
      "isSystemApp": false,
      "name": "Xcode",
      "path": "/Applications/Xcode.app",
      "version": "13.3.1",
      "isElectronApp" : false
    }
