Adding Scripting Additions to Project

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

I found some other posts about this and it appears that I can add a “Scripting Additions” folder to the final Package/Resources folder at the Finder level after I have built the app, but I was wondering if there is a way to add the scripting addition to the project in XCode. It would be nice to add it and then have it be there the next time I build, instead of having to manually add it again each time I build.

Is this possible? I can’t find anything on the Apple site.

Thanks.

Wow. That totally doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to…

Anyway, I have changed my approach and now I have the script look for the scripting additions on launch, and if they aren’t there it copies them from the resources folder to the user’s scripting additions folder. Everything works except for my original question. I would really like to add the scripting additions to the XCode project in a way that it will put them in the resources folder when I hit build (as opposed to building and then manually going into the package contents in the Finder and copying them there myself). I am concerned that if someone else edits the file and deletes the build folder or something to get a new clean build, the scripting additions won’t be there unless they somehow know to do the additional step of copying the files into the package.

Anyway, let me know if anyone has any ideas. Here is how I did it in case you are curious:

on launched theObject
	--Make sure XML plug-in is installed. If not, install it.
	set mainTest to path to scripting additions folder from local domain as text
	set userTest to path to scripting additions folder from user domain as text
	set quitMe to false
	tell application "System Events" to if ((not (exists file (mainTest & "XML Tools.osax"))) or (not (exists file (mainTest & "XSLT Tools.osax")))) and ((not (exists file (userTest & "XML Tools.osax"))) or (not (exists file (userTest & "XSLT Tools.osax")))) then
		set quitMe to true
		tell application "Finder" to duplicate file ((path to me as string) & "Contents:Resources:XML Tools.osax") to userTest as alias
		tell application "Finder" to duplicate file ((path to me as string) & "Contents:Resources:XSLT Tools.osax") to userTest as alias
	end if
	if quitMe then quit  --I need to quit and restart the application for it to see the scripting additions
end launched
