6/27/2023 0 Comments Keyboard maestro forumI was trying to run from Xojo an AppleScript that would initiate a Keyboard Maestro macro. You may be able to talk your way around it, you may not.Īs Douglas Handy/Sam Rowlands/Christian Schmitz have alluded to, my fundamental problem of being able to have Xojo fire off some AppleScripts and not others is related to increasing security measures that Apple has introduced with Mojave and Catalina. You’ll face a higher chance of being rejected for using the “legacy” Sandbox entitlements, than being accepted. I would recommend you consider if it is worth it. Lastly: If you are considering the Mac App Store and the application you’re controlling doesn’t support “Scripting Groups”. I was going to do so when I wrote the article for my blog. The above process can be done with AW3, but I’ll confess that I haven’t tried yet. The above described process was pieced together with information from Apple’s developers forums (not their documentation) and tweaked until it worked. If AW4 was able to do what it needed without Apple Script, I would have given up and used the alternative method. I found this to be unreliable and to cause more problems that simply trying and capturing the failure message. There is API to check to see if your application can script an application, before you call the Apple Script.If the user clicked on “Don’t Allow”, a specific error is returned, at which point you can alert the user that they need to manually allow access for this functionality to work. Handle the result, you need to check for an error.For each build of the application, there should be a dialog box asking the user if they approve of it using Apple Script.Specifying which application that you’re sending Apple Events too, didn’t appear to make any difference.You can only provide one message, to encompass all of the applications that your app is targeting. Make sure you’ve specified a “Privacy Usage” message.Make sure it uses entitlements, as you need to provide the entitlement to be able to send Apple events.Code sign your application with the harden runtime option.I have not tested with the built-in Xojo functions or other libraries. ![]() I used my own NSAppleScript object from the Ohanaware App Kit to execute the Apple Script.I recently added Apple Script support to an alpha of App Wrapper 4 as it’s required to access certain features in DropDMG. Also note that Plus 0 and Minus 0 is not the same (except when today is the same as the weekday).Apple Script is on my list of articles to write for my blog, because of the steps required to use it modern versions of the macOS. Note how Plus 0 and Plus 1 are the same unless today is the same as the weekday. %ICUDateTimeMinus%2%Mondays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%1%Mondays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%0%Mondays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%2%Wednesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%1%Wednesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%0%Wednesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%2%Tuesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%1%Tuesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimeMinus%0%Tuesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%2%Mondays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%1%Mondays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% ![]() %ICUDateTimePlus%0%Mondays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% ![]() %ICUDateTimePlus%2%Wednesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%1%Wednesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%0%Wednesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%2%Tuesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%1%Tuesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy% %ICUDateTimePlus%0%Tuesdays%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%
