The result of the PowerShell cmdlet New-AzureADApplication will be the Application object, including the ObjectId attribute:

PS C:\> New-AzureADApplication -DisplayName "My Special App" -IdentifierUris @("https://localhost/my-special-app")

ObjectId                             AppId                                DisplayName
--------                             -----                                ----------

The best way to use do this in your script is to place the result in a variable:

PS C:\> $app = New-AzureADApplication -DisplayName "My Special App" -IdentifierUris @("https://localhost/my-special-app")
PS C:\> $app.ObjectId

If you're looking for the ObjectId of an Application object which already exists, you would search for it by name:

PS C:\> Get-AzureADApplication -SearchString "My"

ObjectId                             AppId                                DisplayName
--------                             -----                                -----------
4a9c0714-adf9-42f4-9189-a69fa2c33861 0f6b4c20-957a-4c96-b477-5562995fd920 My Special App

(Note: The -SearchString parameter does "startswith" searches, not "contains".)
