I recently tried to create a new ASOC project in Xcode but I cannot now find how to do this. It has been a while since I last created a project, back then you would open Xcode, select Application then select Cocoa-Applescript Application but all I see now is App. Any guidance would be gratefully accepted!
Current system is Apple M2 running Tahoe 26.2 using Xcode 26.2
Did you select macOS on the top?
Cocoa-AppleScript is only available in macOS
Apple removed the AppleScriptObjC application and Automator action project templates back in Xcode 14, so you would need to add them to your user templates. I havenāt used Xcode in quite a while, but I made a quick check and project templates from Xcode 13 still work in Tahoe.
Many thanks for your reply, not sure where to find the templates or how to load them, searched online but ApplescriptObjC appears to be dead! I have tried copying and renaming existing projects but always ends up missing āinput build fileā? Is there an alternative to Xcode/ApplescriptObjC?
Thanks for reply, yes I did select macOS but no Cocoa-Applescript appeared, is this as Red Menace replied, Apple removing templates from Xcode?
Put this into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode (~ is your home folder)
If there is already a folder Templates move the contents into the respective subfolders.
Templates.zip (58.3 KB)
I kept a copy of the original Xcode 13 project templates here, and a set I created that adds a slightly customized base project (commented appDelegate and AppController files, no icon) and a few individual file templates is here.
Place the templates in a folder in your userās Library folder at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/. You can name this template folder whatever you want, such as āMy Templatesā, where it will be shown in Xcodeās template chooser. Havenāt tried the Automator action template.
Many thanks for the solution, works just as I remember!!
Thank you for the information, I tried Red Menaceās solution first and it worked so I didnāt want to push my luck!!
