Apple Music ScriptingBridge Broken in macOS Tahoe 26
l’m trying to automate Apple Music on macOS Tahoe 26 using ScriptingBridge. Scripts that previously worked for controlling playback, fetching track info, or manipulating playlists no longer function. For example, code like this used to work: `import ScriptingBridge let music = SBApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.Music") as! MusicApplication print(music.currentTrack?.name ?? "No track playing")` But now it fails, returning nil for track info and failing to send playback commands. Questions: Has ScriptingBridge been deprecated or broken in Tahoe 26 for Apple Music? Any guidance or example code would be appreciated.

Getting path of deleted item from Scripting Bridge SBObject in Swift
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() }
