Untranslocator allows to get the original bundle path from a translocated Xamarin.Mac app. 

## Usage

if a macOS app is translocated `NSBundle.MainBundle.BundlePath` returns a randomized read-only location - something like:

```

/private/var/folders/xx/xxxxxxxxxxx/x/AppTranslocation/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/x/MyApp.app

```

we can use this translocated path and use an object of `Untranslocator` to retrieve the original bundle path (i.e. `/Users/nor0x/Downloads`)

```cs

var untrans = new Untranslocator();

var path = untrans.ResolveTranslocatedPath(NSBundle.MainBundle.BundlePath);

```
