When calling a perl script from an apple script (by dropping a file on it), I get the error: Can't load '/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' for module Encode: dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle, 0x0001): tried: '/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (no such file), '/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')) at /System/Library/Perl/5.34/XSLoader.pm line 96. at /Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Encode.pm line 12. When I call the script manually from terminal, it runs fine. Why is Applescript running as X86 on M2?

Under Ventura, desktop wallpaper image names were stored in a sqlite database at ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db. This file is no longer being used under Sonoma. I have a process I built that fetches the desktop image file names and displays them, either as a service, or on the desktop. I do this because I have many photos I've taken, and I like to know which one I'm viewing so I can make edits if necessary. I set these images across five spaces and have them randomly change every hour. I tried using AppleScript but it would not pull the file names. A few people have pointed me to ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.wallpaper/Store/Index.plist. However, on my system, this only reveals the source folder and not the image name itself. On one of my Macs, it shows 64 items, even though I have only five spaces! Is there a way to fetch the image file names under Sonoma? Will Sequoia make this easier or harder?

Hello fellow developers, I am developing a macOS app called "Playlist Plunderer 2," aimed at using AppleScript to control the Music app to play songs and employing ShazamKit to recognize these songs and update their metadata. Despite setting up the entitlements and plist files correctly, I'm encountering issues with gaining the necessary AppleScript permissions, and my app is not appearing under 'Automation' in System Preferences. Additionally, ShazamKit fails to match songs, consistently returning error 201. Here are the specifics of my setup and what I've tried so far: Xcode Version: 15.4, macOS 14.1.2 Entitlements Configured: Includes permissions for Apple events, audio input, and scripting targets for the Music app. Capabilities: ShazamKit and ScriptingBridge frameworks integrated, set to "Do Not Embed." Info.plist Adjustments: Added "Privacy - Microphone Usage Description." Scripting: Manual AppleScript commands outside of Xcode succeed, but the app's scripts do not trigger. Entitlements File: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.automation.apple-events</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.Music</key> <array> <string>com.apple.Music.playback</string> <string>com.apple.Music.library.read-write</string> </array> </dict> </dict> </plist> I am having issues controlling the music app (itunes) from the apple script within my xcode project. the objective of the app is to rewrite the metadata of songs inside a folder in my Music app, this folder is titled Playlist Plunderer. The way I intend for the app to function is, the app will play the songs in the playlist, and then it will use shazamkit to recognize the song thats playing, it will then copy the metadata results of that song to rewrite the metadata of the song in the music playlist. I am still in the beginning stages. and I am very new to xcode. I created a apple developer account, paid the $99 and it is active, and I added the identifier bundle to the account from my app. I am VERY new to xcode,(this is my first project) my development team is set ( Shane Vincent), and the app is set to automatically manage signing, under app sandbox. i have audio input checked, under hardened runtime/ resource access audio input is checked. in build settings the path to the info.plist file is correct, the info.plist contains Privacy - Microphone Usage Description that I added i think it was called NSMmicriphone or something, with a description that reads "This app needs to access the microphone to identify songs using ShazamKit." the app appears under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Microphone but not under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation it is being made on macOS 14.1.2 (23B92) and xcode Version 15.4 (15F31d) Under framework library, and embedded content, I have added two frameworks, Shazamkit.framework, and ScriptingBridge.framework, both set to do not embed Current Issue: AppleScript fails to authorize with the Music app, and ShazamKit errors suggest an issue with song matching. Has anyone faced similar challenges or can offer guidance on how to ensure AppleScript and ShazamKit function correctly within a sandboxed macOS app? Any insights into troubleshooting or configuring entitlements more effectively would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Staring to use ScriptingBridge in Swift to enable faster scripting access to an external app (Devonthink) and therefore avoid having to use an AppleScript as a conduit to call a Swift command line utility and deal with its results. The plan is to be able to read the plaintext of a record (no problem) and change the record name in Devonthink based on its contents. But I can’t seem to write to a property, instead getting an error “Cannot assign to property: ‘***’ is immutable”. Any guidance how to get around this?

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone can help me with writing a script that fully uninstalls an app with one click or can point me to a script already written please? So that when I click the script it uninstalls the app and leaves nothing behind. So when I click finder and use the search function with the name of the app, then click add and then name matches (input name of app) then click add and select system files are included, nothing comes up as the script has completely removed it from my system. I am Using Mac Mini M2 Pro 16gb ram and macOS Sonoma. Thank you

My applescript calls a perl script to convert a file. When I call the perl from commandline, everything works fine. When I call the applescript (by dropping a file on it), this error occurs: Can't load '/Library/Perl/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' for module Encode: dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle, 0x0001): tried: '/Library/Perl/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Encode/Encode.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/ which I interprete that OSA runs in Rosetta mode now. This error did not occur at least until Mar 27, when I used it last. Of course on the same machine. How is it possible that OSA now is called under Rosetta? Has there been a chacnge in Ventura 13.6.6? How to control that this OSA runs as native arm64?

We have trying to programmatically send data to Final Cut Pro by using Apple Event as decribed in Sending Data Programmatically to Final Cut Pro : tell application "Final Cut Pro" activate open POSIX file "/Users/JohnDoe/Documents/UberMAM/MyEvents.fcpxml" end tell This works fine in Script Editor but we run into problems when trying to do the same in our macOS app. We found interesting information in Workflow Extensions SDK 1.0.2 Release Notes.pdf. A) Hardened runtime has "Apple Events Enabled" checked. B) Info.plist contains NSAppleEventsUsageDescription: <key>NSAppleEventsUsageDescription</key> <string>Test string</string> C) We added following entitlements: <key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.FinalCut</key> <array> <string>com.apple.FinalCut.library.inspection</string> </array> <key>com.apple.FinalCutTrial</key> <array> <string>com.apple.FinalCut.library.inspection</string> </array> </dict> <key>com.apple.security.automation.apple-events</key> <true/> With this configuration in place, our app is able to call AppleScript to activate Final Cut Pro application but it is unable to open the file. Following error is returned: Error executing AppleScript: { NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = "Final Cut Pro Trial"; NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "A privilege violation occurred."; NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Final Cut Pro Trial got an error: A privilege violation occurred."; NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-10004"; NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {56, 64}"; } Also there is no prompt asking user to allow Automation from our app to Final Cut. I am not sure whether the prompt is to be expected when developing an application in Xcode. Our current workaround is to add (or even replace com.apple.security.scripting-targets with): com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events entitlement like this <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events</key> <array> <key>com.apple.FinalCutTrial</key> </array> However while this approach might work in development we know this would probably prevent us from publishing the app to Mac App Store. I think we are missing something obvious. Could you help? :-)

Where can I read the help for all Do Shell Script commands? For example, there is a "test" command. Which reference book mentions this command? I.e. I want to go to some website, all the Do Shell Script commands will be there, and among these commands I will find the "test" command. Or are there no such directories and the programmer should randomly find commands on the Internet on random sites?

Hello. How to write this command correctly on a Macbook, in the script editor, so that I can click the "Run script" button and the script will give the result: if there is no folder, then report that there is no folder, if there is a folder, then report that the folder exists. do shell script "test -d 'Users/user/Desktop/New folder'" Now, if the folder exists, an empty string ("") is returned, if the folder does not exist, the script editor reports that an error has occurred. In general, my task is to write a script that checks the existence of a folder.

For our iOS inception e2e test, sometimes the test is blocked by the Mac pop-up window alert. The possible pop-up as follows: Java Access Pop-up Accessibility Pop-up SystemProperty Pop-up and so on...... In order to fetch the unexpected pop-up dialog window when executing e2e tests.

Please guide me if you have any suggestions, thanks.

In order to fetch the unexpected pop-up dialog window when executing e2e tests. For example: I write a simple Apple script get_popup_windows.scpt as follows: tell application "System Events" tell process "SystemUIServer" set securityAlertWindows to (every window whose subrole is "AXDialog") set securityAlertTitles to {} repeat with securityAlertWindow in securityAlertWindows set securityAlertTitle to (securityAlertWindow's title as text) set end of securityAlertTitles to securityAlertTitle end repeat end tell end tell return securityAlertTitles However, when I execute osascript get_popup_windows.scpt It returns empty even when there is a popup window in my mac. Does anyone know the reason? Thanks for help. Will

I made a simple applescript app to run a shell script and display a notification when it ends, it runs pretty well but I did't want the app appearing in the dock, so I added LSUIElement = true in the info.plist, and now the script runs but the app does not notify. Is there a way to have a background app (does not appear in the dock) with the ability to display notifications?

I need to translate various items from a Numbers file. I used chatGPT to help me write a script which receives a cell range and translates them using Google Translate. The problem I am having is that it only translates the first and last items in the desired cell range. Please help me integrate a way to have it translate the whole range, i.e (D435:D440). Here is the script: -- Define the document file path set filePath to "file path here" -- Define the sheet, table, and cell range set sheetName to "Sheet 1" set tableName to "Table 1" set cellRange to "D429:D433" -- Function to translate text from Spanish to English using Google Translate API on translateText(textToTranslate) set baseURL to "https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl=es&tl=en&dt=t&q=" set encodedText to do shell script "python -c \"import urllib, sys; print urllib.quote(sys.argv[1])\" " & quoted form of textToTranslate set translatedText to do shell script "curl -s \"" & baseURL & encodedText & "\"" set translatedText to my parseTranslatedText(translatedText) return translatedText end translateText -- Function to parse the translated text on parseTranslatedText(translatedText) try set translatedText to quoted form of translatedText set translatedText to do shell script "python -c \"import sys, json; print json.loads(sys.argv[1])[0][0][0]\" " & translatedText return translatedText on error errMsg return "Error translating text" end try end parseTranslatedText -- Function to get the contents of a cell range on getCellRangeValues(filePath, tableName, sheetName, cellRange) set cellValues to {} tell application "Numbers" set doc to open filePath tell sheet sheetName of doc set tbl to table tableName repeat with cellRef in words of cellRange set end of cellValues to value of cell cellRef of tbl end repeat close doc saving no end tell end tell return cellValues end getCellRangeValues -- Function to set the translated text in a cell range on setTranslatedValues(filePath, tableName, sheetName, cellRange, translatedValues) tell application "Numbers" set doc to open filePath tell sheet sheetName of doc set tbl to table tableName repeat with i from 1 to count of words in cellRange set cellRef to word i of cellRange set value of cell cellRef of tbl to item i of translatedValues end repeat close doc saving yes end tell end tell end setTranslatedValues -- Main translation process try -- Get the Spanish texts from the specified cell range set spanishTexts to getCellRangeValues(filePath, tableName, sheetName, cellRange) -- Translate the Spanish texts to English set translatedTexts to {} repeat with textToTranslate in spanishTexts set translatedText to translateText(textToTranslate) set end of translatedTexts to translatedText end repeat -- Set the translated texts in the specified cell range setTranslatedValues(filePath, tableName, sheetName, cellRange, translatedTexts) display dialog "Translation completed successfully." on error errMsg display dialog "Error: " & errMsg end try The only way i have been able to bypass cell access errors is by indicating both the sheet and table numbers. Also I found a post that metions using the word 'Item' when working with a specific cell in a cell range. Thank you for your help.

I found this older post, which modifies the cursor size via AppleScript. I managed to update it to work in Ventura and Sonoma, but only in a kludgy manner. Here's the working code: set theSystemVersion to system version of (system info) tell application "System Settings" reveal anchor "AX_CURSOR_SIZE" of pane id "com.apple.Accessibility-Settings.extension" delay 1.0 tell application "System Events" if (text 1 thru 2 of theSystemVersion) is "13" then set contentView to group 2 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window "Display" of application process "System Settings" else set contentView to group 3 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of list 2 of splitter group 1 of list 1 of window "Display" of application process "System Settings" end if set theSlider to slider 1 of contentView set stash to value of theSlider if value of theSlider is 1.0 then --set value of theSlider to 4.0 repeat while value of theSlider is less than 4 increment theSlider end repeat say "Big Mouse" using "Ralph" else --set value of theSlider to 1.0 repeat while value of theSlider is greater than 1 decrement theSlider end repeat say "Tiny Mouse" using "Ralph" end if stash end tell end tell The problem is the two commented out lines: In the original post, those commands work to set the slider to an exact value. In Ventura and Sonoma, they do nothing at all—no errors, just nothing. The script runs fine, but it won't change the cursor size. The only way I got it to work is via the method you see here—repeatedly incrementing or decrementing the value of theSlider until it was either 4 or 1. (The setting of 'stash' seems completely unnecessary, but I left it there anyway.) Does anyone know why the command to set a specific slider value is failing? I'd like to be able to set it in one pass, as this method is slow and ugly. thanks!

I am trying to write a script that will perform an operation in Numbers document TEST on sheet GAMES (it’s a bunch of random number generations for a game show simulator) look at the output in cell B66 of that sheet, output it in cell B3 on another sheet called TRIALS2 then perform the operation again and output the new result on sheet TRIALS2 in cell B4 and so on for 2000 repeats. Here’s the script I have but I get an error message. The document is open and I have confirmed all the document and sheet names are correct. There is definitely something in cell B66 of Sheet GAMES in document TEST. What am I missing? tell application "Numbers" activate tell document "TEST" repeat 2000 times tell sheet "GAMES" set inputValue to value of cell "B66" end tell tell sheet "TRIALS2" set table1 to table 1 set outputColumn to column "B" set nextRow to (get cell (3 + (count of rows of table1)) of outputColumn) set value of nextRow to inputValue end tell end repeat end tell end tell Here is the error message: error "Numbers got an error: Can’t get cell "B67" of sheet "GAMES" of document "TEST"." number -1728 from cell "B67" of sheet "GAMES" of document "TEST"

Hi there, I've created an Automator app running an Apple script to toggle a setting within the "systems preferences". I'm on German systems settings, so I hope you can make any sense out of the below... The intention is to toggle a setting within "Desktop & Dock" off and on again (i.e., just toggle the blue switch left and right in one go). I've attached screenshots to make clear what I mean. I've been running the following Apple Script (for only a few weeks so far), and it worked perfectly fine until just recently: on run {} repeat 2 times tell application "System Settings" to activate tell application "System Events" tell process "System Settings" click menu item "Schreibtisch & Dock" of menu "Darstellung" of menu bar 1 delay 2 tell window "Schreibtisch & Dock" click checkbox "Beim Programmwechsel Space auswählen, der geöffnete Fenster des Programms enthält" of group 9 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 end tell end tell end tell end repeat end run Now, since a few days, it keeps throwing an error message as follows: "System Events" has received an error: "group 1 of window "Desktop & Dock" of process "System Settings"" cannot be read. Invalid index. I'm not sure whether I've made an update of the MacOS in the meantime or what the reason could be. As mentioned, I'm not using the script for too much time, only a few weeks so far (mid-February). My MacOS version: Sonoma 14.3.1 Macbook Pro 16" 2021 (Apple M1 Pro) Unfortunately, my research did not point me into the right direction, I couldn't find an answer as to what exactly I'd need to change. Would much appreciate if anyone can help me set the correct index, or how to otherwise correct the script. Thanks a lot! S.

I've been using Apple Script below for gathering every title &amp; url of opening tab from browser window. It's been works fine for a few years but it's failed recently (maybe in last two weeks). #!/usr/bin/env osascript -l JavaScript // url.js function run(arg) { arg = arg.toString() let browser = '' switch(arg) { case 'chrome': browser = 'Google Chrome' break; case 'edge': browser = "Microsoft Edge" break; default: browser = 'Google Chrome' break; } Application(browser).windows().forEach((window) =&gt; { console.log('\n\n') window.tabs().forEach((tab) =&gt; { const url = tab.url() const name = tab.name() console.log(`${name}\t${url}`) }) }) } It's been works like below (imagine that you open https://example.com on edge) $ url.js edge example.com https://example.com But I found it failed today. $ url.js edge execution error: Error: Error: Application isn't running. (-600) of course I'm make sure Edge browser up and running. Same error for Chrome. I keep my environments(os, browser etc) up-to-date but I don't know which updates affects here.
