Help with app automation permissions
Hi, I am trying to make an app that uses Spotify's web API to play songs. For the web API to work, Spotify needs to be running, and my Mac has to be recognized as an active device. For my Mac to be recognized as an active device, I have to play a song for a very short amount of time (under a second). I want to make my app automatically do that on launch. I already wrote the AppleScript in Automator, and it worked. It successfully launched Spotify, played a song for 0.5 seconds, then hid itself. After writing the code, I tried to implement it into my app to run on startup, but I ran into a problem. The app only started the Spotify app on my mac, and gave me an error that told me it wasn't running. What do I do? Is this an issue with the permissions of the app, or something else? I have given the app the "Apple Events" entitlement. This is the error I am getting. Note that the app opens Spotify, after which it gives me this. Error: { NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = Spotify; NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Application isn\U2019t running."; NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Spotify got an error: Application isn\U2019t running."; NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-600"; NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {31, 8}"; } This is the function I am trying to use to do the actions with Spotify: func runAppleScript() { let appleScript = """ tell application "Spotify" activate if player state is not playing then play track "spotify:track:5XSKC4d0y0DfcGbvDOiL93" delay 1 pause end if end tell tell application "System Events" tell process "Spotify" set frontmost to true delay 1 keystroke "h" using {command down} end tell end tell """ var error: NSDictionary? if let scriptObject = NSAppleScript(source: appleScript) { scriptObject.executeAndReturnError(&error) } if let error = error { print("Error: \(error)") } } Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

EntityStringQuery does not show variable menu in Shortcuts app
(Public dupe of FB16477656) The Shortcuts app allows you to parameterise the input for an action using variables or allowing "Ask every time". This option DOES NOT show when conforming my AppEntity.defaultQuery Struct to EntityStringQuery: But it DOES shows when confirming to EntityQuery: As discussed on this forum post (or FB13253161) my AppEntity.defaultQuery HAS TO confirm to EntityStringQuery to allow for searching by String from Siri Voice input. To summarise: With EntityQuery: My Intent looks like it supports variables via the Shortcuts app. But will end up in an endless loop because there is no entities(matching string: String) function. This will allow me to choose an item via the Shorcuts.app UI With EntityStringQuery: My Intent does not support variables via the Shortcuts app. I am not allows to choose an item via the Shorcuts.app UI. Even weirder, if i set up the shortcut with using a build with EntityQuery and then do another build with EntityStringQuery it works as expected. Code: /* Works with Siri to find a match, doesn't show "Ask every time" */ public struct WidgetStationQuery: EntityStringQuery { public init() { } public func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [Station] { let stations = [Station(id: "car", name: "car"), Station(id: "bike", name: "bike")] return stations.filter { $0.id.lowercased() == string.lowercased() } } public func entities(for identifiers: [Station.ID]) async throws -> [Station] { let stations = [Station(id: "car", name: "car"), Station(id: "bike", name: "bike")] return stations.filter { identifiers.contains($0.id.lowercased()) } } public func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Station] { return [Station(id: "car", name: "car"), Station(id: "bike", name: "bike")] } public func defaultResult() async -> Station? { try? await suggestedEntities().first } } /* DOES NOT work with Siri to find a match, but Shortcuts shows "Ask every time" */ public struct WidgetBrokenStationQuery: EntityQuery { public init() { } public func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [Station] { let stations = [Station(id: "car", name: "car"), Station(id: "bike", name: "bike")] return stations.filter { $0.id.lowercased() == string.lowercased() } } public func entities(for identifiers: [Station.ID]) async throws -> [Station] { let stations = [Station(id: "car", name: "car"), Station(id: "bike", name: "bike")] return stations.filter { identifiers.contains($0.id.lowercased()) } } public func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Station] { return [Station(id: "car", name: "car"), Station(id: "bike", name: "bike")] } public func defaultResult() async -> Station? { try? await suggestedEntities().first } }```

"Not authorized to send Apple events to Terminal
We are trying to open an application "xyz.app" It worked fine until 15.1.1 versions. But facing issues with 15.2 and 15.3 The application is working fine when we navigate to xyz.app/Contents/MacOS/ and run applet in this directory. But the error "Not authorized to send Apple events to Terminal" occurs when we are trying to open the app directly. We have tried with all the available solutions like giving full disk access to terminal and application, adding my application to automation in privacy and security tabs in settings. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Automator error when running Watch Me Do-created script
Hi everyone, I'm trying to use Automator to batch process PDF files. I have hundreds of academic journal article PDFs whose page sizes vary from 5x7 inches to A4 format (8.27 x 11.69 inches). I want to scale all the PDFs to US Letter size (8.5 x 11.0 inches) such that smaller originals remain 100% scale but are centered on the larger page and larger originals are scaled down to fit the page. Manually opening a PDF in Preview.app, scaling it to US Letter paper, and using the Save as PDF option is producing the desired output for me. I captured my workflow using the Watch Me Do action in Automator, then adjusted it into the following AppleScript. -- a Get Specified Finder Items action to specify the input PDFs precedes this script on run {input, parameters} repeat with filePath in input -- Open the file in Preview tell application "Preview" open filePath activate end tell -- Give Preview some time to open the file delay 2.0 -- Press ⌘P set timeoutSeconds to 0.25 set uiScript to "keystroke \"p\" using command down" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Click the “Scale to Fit:” radio button. delay 2.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "click radio button \"Scale to Fit:\" of radio group 1 of group 1 of group 2 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Click the “<fill in title>” menu button. delay 4.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000 set uiScript to "click menu button 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds ) -- Save as PDF… delay 2.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "click menu item 2 of menu 1 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Click the “Save” button. delay 8.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Save\" of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Press ⌘W to close the file delay 0.25 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "keystroke \"w\" using command down" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) end repeat return input end run on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds repeat try run script "tell application \"System Events\" " & uiScript & " end tell" exit repeat on error errorMessage if ((current date) > endDate) then error "Can not " & uiScript end if end try end repeat end doWithTimeout My problem arises at the Save as PDF step. When this action runs, I see the PDF menu pop open: but the Save as PDF... menu item doesn't get clicked. Instead, I get an error: Can anyone advise on how to overcome this error?

Add the ability to remove/delete chats in the ChatGPT app using shortcuts
So Recently I’ve been making shortcuts and I noticed that I can prompt chatgpt with shortcuts to add extra functionality, I like this idea but there is 1 flaw with it and that is there is no ability to remove chats automatically, I suppose this would be fine except every time the shortcut is run it creates a new chat, usually I would have made it to remove the chat after the shortcut is finished, but since I can’t the chats would pile up as there is no way of getting rid of them automatically and it would be tedious to manually delete all the chats. also sorry if I chose the wrong topic and subtopic, I couldn’t find a topic about shortcuts

Language choice sometimes pops up during Recovery
Sometimes, during Recovery, when choosing "Options" I'm presented with the Language chooser before going into the Recovery options. Other times the process moves directly into Recovery options, without any language choice. I'm running in recovery mode, after completing a fresh installation of macOS (including setting a language) and fully shutting down the OS via the menu. This happens seemingly randomly, which affects the ability to automate the process. So far I've only seen it on macOS 15. Is there some logic to why this language chooser pops up, and any way I can make it consistent (in either direction)?

Use UnionValue For AppIntent Parameter
I'm currently trying to use the new @UnionValue macro. From what I understood, it allows multiple types for a parameter. I created the following enum: @UnionValue enum IntentDuration { case int(Int) case duration(Measurement<UnitDuration>) } Then, I tried to use it in the following AppIntent: struct MyIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "intent.title" static let description = IntentDescription("intent.description") static let openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @Parameter var duration: IntentDuration @Dependency private var appManager: AppManager @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { // My action return .result() } } However, I get the following error from Xcode at the @Parameter line: 'init()' is unavailable Did I wrongly understand how this works? Is there another way to accept multiple types for a parameter? I didn't manage to find any docs on this.

Interacting with the Notes application
Hello, Relatively new to AppleScripts in current gen (I've used it back in 2010s) and would like some help if someone can point me in the right direction. Is AppleScript the best/only way to interact with Notes application? (I'm on Sequioa) 1.1 I've tried to use LLM to generate a Swift app, but it still calls out to AppleScripts, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. 1.2 If I'm going down a rabbit hole, I'd like to stop since I want to finish this quick task and move on and or fall deeply in love with AppleScripts... whichever comes first. Is There a better way to write notes? Script Editor is still a minimal IDE, I'd love to find something that will do some auto completion/suggestions because the documentation in the Script Editor is still a tad weak. (I'm used to interpreted languages like bash, ruby, etc...) where if I don't understand something I just dig into the code instead of turse documentation that just exposes public end points and does not tell you much more :( My problem: I'd like to set up a cron that periodically checks my notes, and cleans up the shared notes. Basically it's a shared set of notes that have checklist on it and cleans up. (weekly chores etc...) I want to read the notes, find out which ones have been marked checked. Reset the ones that are done, leave unfinished ones alone and reset the old ones. This is how far I've gotten: let appleScript = """``` tell application "Notes" set targetNote to note "\Test" of default account return body of targetNote end tell That works like a charm, Kind of dumb because I rather use and ID of the note not the name :( It returns the following <div><b><span style=\\"font-size: 24px\\">Test</span></b></div> <div><br></div> <ul> <li> Not Done</li> <li>Done</li> <li>Not Done yet</li> </ul> <div><br></div> <div>Single line</div> Which is a good start! Issues: There is no way to tell which Item is marked "Checked" and which one is not :( Any helps is greatly appreciated!

How to make a progress meter for an AppleScript that works with the Photos app
I wrote an AppleScript that takes a bunch of scanned jpegs with systematically named filenames and transfers information from the filename into the date and time fields. That all works fine, but I've got many more scans to do and I'd like to augment the script to include a progress meter because it takes a long time to run on e.g. 1000 photos. I've found basic progress meter examples online that involves commands like: set progress total steps to theImageCount set progress completed steps to 0 set progress description to "Processing Images..." set progress additional description to "Preparing to process." and they run OK in a separate dummy test case, however I'm getting syntax errors for such commands in my renaming script because (I think) they're inside a tell application "Photos" wrapper and it looks like Photos doesn't like those commands. A progress meter (in any AppleScript) should be a straightforward thing i.e. I can clearly define a total number of steps and I can clearly define the step number I'm currently on. I just want to display something like: I'd even be OK with just implementing something like: display dialog "blah blah" but that needs to be manually dismissed with each iteration of the loop, so that's no good. I also tried: display notification "blah blah" but that yields hundreds of notification boxes at the top right of my screen, so that's also impractical. I was even thinking maybe I could call some generic system progress meter with all the right variables via a "do shell script" command (although I have no idea how to do that). Something surely must be possible, but I just can't figure it out :-(. Could some kind soul please help me out. Thanks.

AppIntents + CSSearchableItemAttributeSet: only displayName indexed?
On iOS 18, I'm trying to index documents in Spotlight using the new combination of AppIntents+IndexedEntity. However, I don't seem to be able to index the textContent of the document. Only the displayName seems to be indexed. As recommended, I start with the defaultAttributeSet: /// I call this function to index in Spotlight static func indexInSpotlight(document: Document) async { do { if let entity = document.toEntity { try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities([entity]) } } catch { DLog("Spotlight: could not index document: \(document.name ?? "")") } } /// This is the corresponding IndexedEntity with the attributeSet @available(iOS 18, *) extension DocumentEntity { var attributeSet: CSSearchableItemAttributeSet { let attributeSet = defaultAttributeSet attributeSet.title = title attributeSet.displayName = title attributeSet.textContent = docContent attributeSet.thumbnailData = thumbnailData attributeSet.kind = "document" attributeSet.creator = Constants.APP_NAME return attributeSet } } How can I have more that the displayName to be indexed? Thanks :-)

Applications Scripts denied
Hi all, I'm developing a sandboxed Mac OS app that generates and compiles AppleScript files to automate tasks in Pages (and other iWork apps). The app creates an AppleScript file and writes it to the NSApplicationScriptsDirectory (i.e., ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.example.app), then compiles and executes it via NSUserAppleScriptTask. On Mac OS Ventura, however, I get the following error in the console when trying to write the file: [PagesModifier] Error creating or compiling the script: You are not allowed to save the file "PagesModifier_...applescript" in the folder "com.example.app" Here are my current entitlements: &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.app-sandbox&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.application-groups&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array/&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.automation.apple-events&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.scripting-targets&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;Library/Application Scripts/com.example.app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; I suspect the issue might be due to sandbox restrictions on dynamically creating or modifying the Application Scripts directory on Ventura. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on how to work around this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Unable to pass parameters from siri phrase to appIntent
I have a chat/search functionality in my app, I want to integrate siri where user can say something "Hey siri! Ask myApp to get latest news" then I want to invoke my search functionality with "get latest news". I see iOS apps like chatGPT and youtube have already achieved this. I am able to invoke the intent with static phrase which is expecting the parameter, user is able to provide the value when prompted after requestValueDialog. But it is a 2 step process for end user. I want to achieve in a single step. struct CombinedSiriShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { return [ AppShortcut( intent: ShowSpecificNewsArticleIntent(), phrases: [ "Ask \(.applicationName) to run a query:", ], shortTitle: "Specific News Article", systemImageName: "doc.text.fill" ), AppShortcut( intent: TestQuery(), phrases: [ "Ask \(.applicationName) to \(\.$query)", ], shortTitle: "Test intent", systemImageName: "doc.text.fill" ), ] } } struct ShowSpecificNewsArticleIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Show Specific News Article" static var description = IntentDescription( "Provides details about a specific news article based on its title." ) @Parameter(title: "Query") var query: String @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog & ShowsSnippetView { print("in show specific intent"); print(query); return .result(dialog: "view more about: \(query)") } }

Duration type parameter in AppIntent
I'm developing an AppIntent with a Duration parameter, the definition looks like this: @Parameter(title: "Duration", description: "Time entry duration") var duration: Measurement<UnitDuration> When I run this AppIntent using Siri voice command (by a shortcut) the system asks for the duration value, however when I try to say "1 hour 10 minutes" the "hour" component is ignored, in the AppIntent's perform() method I see only the minutes set (so in this case only 10 minutes). Is there any way to use the Duration type for this type of natural language input? When I try to set only 10 minutues, or 1 hour separately it works, just the combination of these two fails. Thank you

What is the correct syntax to continue in app for custom intent?
I have a custom intent. When my app is unable to complete the resolution of a parameter within the app extension, I need to be able to continue within the app. I am unable to figure out what the correct objective C syntax is to enable the execution to continue with the app. Here is what I have tried: completion([[PickWoodIntentResponse init] initWithCode:PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:nil]); This results in the following error: Implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum PickWoodIntentResponseCode' to different enumeration type 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' (aka 'enum INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode') I have no idea why it is referring to the enum type of 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' which is unrelated to my app. I have also tried: PickWoodIntentResponse *response = [[PickWoodIntentResponse init] initWithCode:PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:nil]; completion(response); but that results in 2 errors: Implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum PickWoodIntentResponseCode' to different enumeration type 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' (aka 'enum INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode') and Incompatible pointer types passing 'PickWoodIntentResponse *' to parameter of type 'INStringResolutionResult *' The relevant autogenerated code provided to me with the creation of my intent is as follows: @class PickWoodIntentResponse; @protocol PickWoodIntentHandling <NSObject> - (void)resolveVarietyForPickWood:(PickWoodIntent *)intent withCompletion:(void (^)(INStringResolutionResult *resolutionResult))completion NS_SWIFT_NAME(resolveVariety(for:with:)) API_AVAILABLE(ios(13.0), macos(11.0), watchos(6.0)); @end typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, PickWoodIntentResponseCode) { PickWoodIntentResponseCodeUnspecified = 0, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeReady, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeInProgress, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeSuccess, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeFailure, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeFailureRequiringAppLaunch } @interface PickWoodIntentResponse : INIntentResponse - (instancetype)init NS_UNAVAILABLE; - (instancetype)initWithCode:(PickWoodIntentResponseCode)code userActivity:(nullable NSUserActivity *)userActivity NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER; @property (readonly, NS_NONATOMIC_IOSONLY) PickWoodIntentResponseCode code; @end Am I overlooking something? What would be the proper syntax to have within the completion block to satisfy the compiler?

Cannot instantiate VIP object/property out of mail app
Is VIP an object contained in the mail or contacts apps/objects? Or is it just a property somewhere? Or is it an independent object? Where is the VIP object? Is it still managed in the mail app or is it just hidden because the design is changing at Apple? The following AppleScript is failing: tell application "Mail" set theVIPs to VIPs with the error: error "Die Variable „VIPs“ ist nicht definiert." number -2753 from "VIPs" (The variable "VIPs" is not defined.". In Mail.sdef documentation and in Contacts.sdef documentation I cannot find any documentation of VIP object or VIP property.
