NSWorkspace * ws    = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString    * path  = [ws fullPathForApplication:@"Safari"];

IconServices--provide various hooks to obtaining and displaying an icon, but neither appears to support finding the source file for an icon. For

Something like:

path = ...
bundle = NSBundle.bundleWithPath_(path)
info = bundle.infoDictionary()
iconName = info['CFBundleIconFile']
iconPath = bundle.pathForResource_ofType_(iconName, 'icns')

You can do this through the bundle API (open the bundle for an application, look up the name of the icon from the Info.plist and then locate that icon.
