Jul 9, 2016 1:02 AM in response to Bernard Harteby red_menace,★HelpfulYes, you can use AppleScriptObjC, but there are also several other languages and tools that can be used. Are you familiar with AppleScript and Cocoa, or programming in general? I am asking because AppleScriptOBjC is a framework that lets you access Cocoa classes and methods from AppleScript, so you would need to know a bit about both of them. Also, the Interface Builder in Xcode is what is used to build the user interface for your typical Cocoa application, so you would need to know a little bit about that as well.
Apple doesn't have much documentation specific to AppleScriptObjC other than their Release Notes, since they expect you to be able to use the existing Objective-C stuff. However, an early AppleScriptObjC tutorial can be found at MacScripter.net, and something more up to date can be found at MacOSXAutomation.com.
