Catalina has a read-only system volume, separate from other files.

That makes the utilities moved to /System/Applications/Utilities instead of /Applications/Utilities.

My question is, from code level, how can I get the location of Terminal.app without checking the OS version?

Thanks.

Use the bundle ID.

Right. Specifically, the

urlForApplication(withBundleIdentifier:)

method on

NSWorkspace

.
