CoreTypes bundle

In the core types bundle you got a whole bunch of nice icons for all the Macs and iPods etc. that are out there.

The finder can show them in the sidebar when you click on a shared device, like my mac mini server.

I was wondering whether there was an Mac App Store allowed way of accessing these icons, as they are apple copyrighted and I do not know whether I can access them simply through NSImage +imageNamed:.

Solution

  • Try NSWorkspace’s -iconForFileType:; e.g.:

    [NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace iconForFileType:@"com.apple.ipad-2-white"];

    I’m not sure how compatible with the Mac App Store guidelines that is, though.
