Create New Script In Xcode 4

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode

Hello everyone,
I have a (simple) question, and it is how do I create a new script in my Xcode project? When I try to add a new file I can’t find AppleScript in the type of file to choose.

Thanks,

Sadly, it’s not in the templates anymore. I had to create my own based on other pre-existing templates. Was quite easy. Here’s a website with the directions to do your own custom templates:

Hope this helps!

As an alternative, could you keep one .applescript file but add a second base class? I just tried it in a test doc and it compiled so that appears to be legal. I went into my XIB file and dragged a new “cube” into the objects list. Then selected it and on the inspector tab set its class as the new one. That way you can manage the code separately in two main classes but it would all be in one file.

I’m relatively new to this, so let me know if that might cause problems.

script MainAppDelegate
	property parent : class "NSObject"
	property theDefaultText : "Hello"
	
	on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
		-- Insert code here to initialize your application before any files are opened 
	end applicationWillFinishLaunching_
	
	on applicationShouldTerminate_(sender)
		-- Insert code here to do any housekeeping before your application quits 
		return current application's NSTerminateNow
	end applicationShouldTerminate_
	
	on doProcess_(sender)
		set my theDefaultText to theDefaultText & " Plus Button Click"
	end doProcess_
end script



script SectionTwoDelegate
	property parent : class "NSObject"
	
	on doProcessTwo_(sender)
		--
	end doProcessTwo_
end script

Yes, you can do that. But it can get a bit unwieldy.

It’s probably easier to add Other → Empty, name it .applescript, and type the script declaration and parent property yourself.
