How to parse and take only this string value - objective-c

Question

I wanted to get only array string value app. As example(SLGoogleAuth ,HalfTunes,TheBackgrounder,Calculiator) . But don't know how to do?
It's a code.
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
//
Class LSApplicationWorkspace_class = objc_getClass("LSApplicationWorkspace");
SEL selector=NSSelectorFromString(#"defaultWorkspace");
NSObject* workspace = [LSApplicationWorkspace_class performSelector:selector];
SEL selectorALL = NSSelectorFromString(#"allApplications");
NSLog(#"apps: %#", [workspace performSelector:selectorALL]);
}
It's output:
Thanks in advance

You do not want to parse that. NSLog prints out a description of an object. You want to access that value directly.
[LSApplicationWorkspace allApplications];
returns NSArray of LSApplicationProxy. LSApplicationProxy class has a ivar _bundleURL that contains information that you need. You need runtime functions to access it. Working example below:
// #import <objc/runtime.h>
Class LSApplicationWorkspace_class = objc_getClass("LSApplicationWorkspace");
SEL selector=NSSelectorFromString(#"defaultWorkspace");
NSObject* workspace = [LSApplicationWorkspace_class performSelector:selector];
SEL selectorALL = NSSelectorFromString(#"allApplications");
NSArray* appProxies = [workspace performSelector:selectorALL];
Ivar bundleUrlIvar = class_getInstanceVariable([appProxies.firstObject class], "_bundleURL");
NSMutableString* result = [NSMutableString string];
for (id appProxy in appProxies)
{
NSURL* url = object_getIvar(appProxy, bundleUrlIvar);
// at this point you have the information and you can do whatever you want with it
// I will make it a list as you asked
if (url)
{
[result appendFormat:#",%#", [url lastPathComponent]];
}
}
if (result.length > 0)
{
// remove comma from beginning of the list
[result deleteCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)];
}
NSLog(#"apps: %#", result);
Note that this will be rejected by AppStore as you are using private apis. So use at your own discretion.
