Is there an equivalent for app.name in Aep JSX?

[Premiopolis]

The JSX SDKs for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Audition all return the respective names of their application via the command

app.name;

In Photoshop it returns "Adobe Photoshop"

In AI it returns "Adobe Illustrator"

In Audition it returns "Audtion" [w/o "Adobe"]

In Premiere and After Effects the property does not exist.

Is there an alternative?

BridgeTalk.appName returns aftereffects, while BridgeTalk.appSpecifier returns aftereffects-13.0 in CC2014

The BridgeTalk object did the trick in the JSX/ExtendScript context for most (perhaps all) Adobe apps.

Thanks Smallpath2013​!!

There's a related feature in the JS (HTML Panel Extensions) context which likewise serves multiple Adobe Apps.

window.__adobe_cep__.getHostEnvironment();

Thanks to Thomas_Szabo for that one (Is there an equivalent for app.name in PPro JSX? )
