Run AppleScript from M1 on Intel

I have written a simple AppleScript, using just the build-in script editor.

The script is nothing fancy, just displaying a few dialogs, asking for user input, and then sending an email with the result.

The script runs fine on my M1 MacBook Air, however when I transfer the script to an Intel Mac, the script won't run, which makes sense, as it is compiled on ARM.

My question is, can I make the script universel somehow, so that it will run on Intel Macs without needing to be recompiled?

Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

AppleScript isn’t compiled. If you turn it into an application, the script is embedded into an application wrapper, so maybe it is created as an Apple Silicon application.

Save it just as a script and try to run that on the Intel Mac.
