I have created swift command line project and i have added logic to executing apple script using NSAppleScript. That will launch Microsoft Excel file
I am launching this swift command line executable from java using process launch.
3)This is not prompting me. It is throwing exception "Not authorized to send Apple events to Microsoft Excel."
I have already tried out this option
Added info.plist with NSAppleEventsUsageDescription
Added entitlement with com.apple.security.automation.apple-events to true
In packages i have selected this entitlement
i have select the bundle identifier , team and signing certificate "Development" and automatically manage signing.
can you please suggest what could i missed ?

In the Swift function at the end of this post, I use Scripting Bridge to have Finder delete a path. The variable result is a SBObject returned by the delete() function. I know that result somehow contains the new path of the deleted item in the trash folder, but I don't know how to nicely extract it as a single String.
If I print(String(describing: result)), I get output like:
<SBObject @0x0123456789ab: <class 'appf'> "AppName.app" of <class 'cfol'> ".Trash" of <class 'cfol'> "user" of <class 'cfol'> "Users" of startupDisk of application "Finder" (822)>
Is there any way to obtain the String "/Users/user/.Trash/AppName.app" from result without having to perform string parsing on the above output?
The Finder* types in the code below are from https://github.com/tingraldi/SwiftScripting/blob/master/Frameworks/FinderScripting/FinderScripting/Finder.swift
func trash(path: String) throws {
guard let finder: FinderApplication = SBApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.finder") else {
throw runtimeError("Failed to obtain Finder access: com.apple.finder does not exist")
}
guard let items = finder.items else {
throw runtimeError("Failed to obtain Finder access: finder.items does not exist")
}
let object = items().object(atLocation: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
guard let item = object as? FinderItem else {
throw runtimeError(
"""
Failed to obtain Finder access: finder.items().object(atLocation: URL(fileURLWithPath: \
\"\(path)\") is a '\(type(of: object))' that does not conform to 'FinderItem'
"""
)
}
guard let delete = item.delete else {
throw runtimeError("Failed to obtain Finder access: FinderItem.delete does not exist")
}
let result = delete()
}
