How to access files from within an app bundle?

[rkennedy-argus]

I've built an app with DarwinKit and placed it into a .app bundle, along with some ancillary data files that I need during runtime. How do I access those files? When I use os.Getwd to get the current working directory it appears to be /.

I assume there must be some object that I can use to get the path to where the app bundle is located so I can create the proper path to open my data file. I've skimmed the appkit.Application and appkit.ApplicationDelegate types, but didn't see anything obvious that stood out to me.

I realize this is likely more of an Apple development question than a DarwinKit one. But I figured someone here may have run into the same problem and might have the answer I'm seeking.

It figures that after an hour of poking around unsuccessfully that I would post this and almost immediately stumble into the answer.

bundle := foundation.Bundle_MainBundle()
path_to_file := bundle.PathForResourceOfType("foo", "txt")

This will return the path to the foo.txt file in the MyApp.app/Contents/Resources directory.
