How to read plist information (bundle id) from a shell script

by

The defaults command can read/write to any plist file, just give it a path minus the .plist extension:

$ defaults read /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Info CFBundleIdentifier

com.apple.Preview

This pulls the CFBundleIdentifier value directly from the application bundle’s Info.plist file.

Defaults also works with binary plists without any extra steps.
