macos - How to launch application and bring it to front using Cocoa api?

I'm very new to a cocoa programming and I can't find the way to do the following:

  • Start a particular application by name
  • Do some work
  • Later bring that application I've started to be the front process

From what I've found in Carbon API it looks like the calls i should use are launchApplication() and setFrontProcess().

But how to do this in Cocoa? I.e. launch it, get PID, set that PID to be a front process. I tried to google for examples and find nothing...

If any of you can provide a minimalistic sample that would be awesome :)

Thanks in advance.

To launch an application :

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:@"/Applications/Safari.app"];

To activate an app :

NSRunningApplication* app = [NSRunningApplication
                             runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier: PID];
[app activateWithOptions: NSApplicationActivateAllWindows];
// or
NSArray* apps = [NSRunningApplication
                 runningApplicationsWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.bla.blah"];
[(NSRunningApplication*)[apps objectAtIndex:0]
 activateWithOptions: NSApplicationActivateAllWindows];
