I'd like to programmatically get a list of all the software on my Mac that was installed via the Mac App Store. I'm sure that this list must exist somewhere on my computer, but I can't figure out where it would be. I couldn't find any documented way to get this list, but I'd be happy with an undocumented way. It would be fine to read files or call functions. Does anybody know how to do this?
Such a list does not likely exist on the user's system. If you try to view the purchases tab of the App Store without internet, you won't see anything. This is likely because the App Store just downloads a list of the user's purchases and checks to see which ones exist on the current system but doesn't save this data anywhere.
