Get the main app bundle from within extension

Is it possible to get the containing app's NSBundle from within an app extension? I would like to get the main app's display name, not the extension's display name.

The +mainBundle method returns the bundle containing the "current application executable", which is a subfolder of your app when called from within an extension.

This solution involves peeling off two directory levels from the URL of the bundle, when it ends in "appex".

Objective-C

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
if ([[bundle.bundleURL pathExtension] isEqualToString:@"appex"]) {
    // Peel off two directory levels - MY_APP.app/PlugIns/MY_APP_EXTENSION.appex
    bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithURL:[[bundle.bundleURL URLByDeletingLastPathComponent] URLByDeletingLastPathComponent]];
}

NSString *appDisplayName = [bundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];

Swift 2.2

var bundle = NSBundle.mainBundle()
if bundle.bundleURL.pathExtension == "appex" {
    // Peel off two directory levels - MY_APP.app/PlugIns/MY_APP_EXTENSION.appex
    bundle = NSBundle(URL: bundle.bundleURL.URLByDeletingLastPathComponent!.URLByDeletingLastPathComponent!)!
}

let appDisplayName = bundle.objectForInfoDictionaryKey("CFBundleDisplayName")

Swift 3

var bundle = Bundle.main
if bundle.bundleURL.pathExtension == "appex" {
    // Peel off two directory levels - MY_APP.app/PlugIns/MY_APP_EXTENSION.appex
    let url = bundle.bundleURL.deletingLastPathComponent().deletingLastPathComponent()
    if let otherBundle = Bundle(url: url) {
        bundle = otherBundle
    }
}

let appDisplayName = bundle.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleDisplayName")

This will break if the pathExtension or the directory structure for an iOS extension ever changes.

Building upon @phatblat's answer, here is a solution which is less likely to break from file structure changes.

extension Bundle {
    /// Return the main bundle when in the app or an app extension.
    static var app: Bundle {
        var components = main.bundleURL.path.split(separator: "/")
        var bundle: Bundle?

        if let index = components.lastIndex(where: { $0.hasSuffix(".app") }) {
            components.removeLast((components.count - 1) - index)
            bundle = Bundle(path: components.joined(separator: "/"))
        }

        return bundle ?? main
    }
}

Use this extensions and you'll be able to get the main bundle from target extensions:

extension Bundle {
    
    func getBundleName() -> String {
        var finalBundleName = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier ?? "unknow"
        if(SwiftUtils.isRunningOnExtension()){
            _ = finalBundleName.replaceRegex(#"\.\w+$"#)
        }
        return finalBundleName
    }
}

extension String {

    public mutating func replaceRegex(_ pattern: String, replaceWith: String = "") -> Bool {
        do {
            let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: pattern, options: NSRegularExpression.Options.caseInsensitive)
            let range = NSMakeRange(0, self.count)
            self = regex.stringByReplacingMatches(in: self, options: [], range: range, withTemplate: replaceWith)
            return true
        } catch {
            return false
        }
    }
}
