Get App Name in Swift

Question

How do I get the application name in Swift?

Googling gave me this:

[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@\"CFBundleName\"];
         


        

Answer 1

This should work:

NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary!["CFBundleName"] as! String

infoDictionary is declared as a var infoDictionary: [NSObject : AnyObject]! so you have to unwrap it, access it as a Swift dictionary (rather than use objectForKey), and, as the result is an AnyObject, cast it.

Update Swift 3 (Xcode 8 beta 2)

Always better to use constants where possible, too:

Bundle.main.infoDictionary![kCFBundleNameKey as String] as! String
