You can always write your code against NSRunningApplication, then implement your own class with the same method names as NSRunningApplication that uses the Process Manager under the hood. Use the pimpl pattern and #if __LP_64__ to make this class call through to NSRunningApplication whenever it's available (You can use NSClassFromString() to avoid link-time dependencies). If you're afraid Apple will remove the Process Manager from 32 bit, you could even put that class into an NSBundle, build two versions, one that uses the PM, the other that is a shim around NSRA, and then load the right one at startup depending on system version.
