NSFileManager /Applications.

NSArray *urls = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSApplicationDirectory inDomains:NSLocalDomainMask];

NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *properties = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: NSURLLocalizedNameKey,
                       NSURLCreationDateKey, NSURLLocalizedTypeDescriptionKey, nil];

NSArray *array = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] 
                 contentsOfDirectoryAtURL:[urls objectAtIndex:0]
               includingPropertiesForKeys:properties
                                  options:(NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsHiddenFiles)
                                    error:&error];
if (array == nil) {
    // Handle the error
}
