Name of the current app ?

Hi all, and have an happy new year !
My first question this year, how can I get the name of the active
application, and, if possible, get the transitions (active app changed
notifications) ?
Thanks,

The API to do so is private. You can, however, look at the source to ASM
(see www.vercruesse.de) to see how it is done.

Thanks, I see now. Still, it feels like a bit risky to use that...

You can get the name of the front process using the Carbon process
manager. You can get app transitioned events using Carbon Events.
Depending on your needs, this may work quite nicely (or rather
inconveniently if you are building an AppKit application).
