macOS Objective C - Open external application

[c1phr]

I've been searching around a bit and I can't seem to figure out how to do this in Objective C (I know how in C# and Python :/)

Let's say I want to open an external application (like Calculator.app) by clicking a button in a window. What code would I use to do this?

This part may not be possible, but would there be a way to open it from Spotlight or some other method to allow it to open regardless of location?

Thanks for all the help!
