I created this small application to make it easier to retrieve the Bundle ID of a macOS app.
Simply drag a .app file onto its icon in the Dock to display the app’s unique identifier and easily copy it to the clipboard.
The link below includes both the AppleScript source code and the compiled, ready-to-use application.
Hopefully, this can help someone.
Here is the Swift version of my application, which lets you easily retrieve the Bundle ID of a macOS app via simple drag and drop. It works on macOS 11 (Big Sur) and later.

This is the equivalent of the AppleScript version shared earlier.
Since the app is not signed by Apple, here are three quick ways to open it:
I assume most of you already know how, but just in case:
From Finder
Right-click on the app → Select “Open” → Accept the security warning prompt
From Terminal
codesign --force --deep --sign - /path/to/yourApp.app
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/yourApp.app
From Sentinel (drag and drop)
Simply drag your app into the Sentinel window
