how do I codesign an applescript app?

I have a fairly complex AppleScript. When I SCRIPT->RUN it. It works fine. When I compile the script and run IT I continually get the diagnostic window seen below. I have searched google and I find suggestions to code-sign the script but I do not know how to do this. Can anyone help? I am using Venture 13.2.1 on a mac.-studio

Dark Mode for Script Editor Dark Mode in macOS Ventura (and previous versions) does not completely turn dark all the UI elements in Apple's Script Editor.app. When Dark Mode is enabled in System Settings, the Script Editor Library window and the title bars for script windows are dark, but the background in a script window remains light. The Log History window background turns dark, but the text in that window remains dark, instead of the dark text turning light. I know there are other environments for scripting (such as BBEdit), but I prefer Script Editor for a number of features. Just seems like Dark Mode needs a bit of a nudge to make it more consistent for Script Editor. I'd like to suggest an improvement, but the site Product Feedback - Apple seems to lack an option for Script Editor under macOS apps.

Script Editor idle, with missing features I'm on Ventura 13.1. Previously Monterey 12.2 but updated the OS in hope Script Editor would magically heal itself. I'm trying to do the most basic of apple scripts in MacOS Script Editor Version 2.11 (227). Compile doesn't seem to work. Text stays black and white without regard to the usual formatting. I can't save anything. Can't run anything. And if I go to my Preferences, the "Default Language" is greyed out, so I can't even select AppleScript. Tried to delete a file in my Library called com.apple.ScriptEditor2.plist (as per another google solution). Didn't work. Restarted, didn't work. BUT! Script Editor works on the same iMac when logging in to another user, or even the Guest account. But my personal user won't let me use it. Also noticed on the other accounts, that their version of Script Editor had an AppleScript / Javascript dropdown at the top left. My version does not. What could possibly make it unusable on my account? It's the same Mac! It should really just work though. Any tricks or things to try would be greatly appreciated. See screenshot below. The document stays "untitled" no matter what. Also, I'm notified that "The document could not be autosaved". Notice the lack of that first dropdown that should be left of the "No selected elements" one - which is also empty. Default language greyed out.

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.

I don't think code signing will get you around that protection.

I think the user has to explicitly permit that access.

Grant the app full disk access, and the prompts should go away.

In Monterey: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access > select the app
