Here's an NSURL category method that tests if the receiver conforms to a given 
URL.  You could use it with kUTTypeApplication.

- (BOOL)doesConformToUTI:(CFStringRef)inUTI
{
        Boolean conforms = false;
        
        NSError* error = nil;
        NSString* fileUTI = nil;
        BOOL success = [self getResourceValue:&fileUTI
                                                                   
forKey:NSURLTypeIdentifierKey
                                                                        
error:&error];
        if (success && fileUTI)
        {
                conforms = UTTypeConformsTo ((CFStringRef)fileUTI, inUTI);
        }
        
        return (conforms ? YES : NO);
}
