Hi All,

I am looking the encryption method for AppleScript for protect my scripts.

Can you please guide me is there any option in the Editor itself to directly convert AppleScript as encryption same as JavaScript Binary Format.

I used “Automator” applications option “Automator → Run AppleScript” for my task. Please guide me how do I product my scripts from theft.

For JavaScript I used Binary method to transfer the script from developer to users. But I am struggling in AppleScript for transfer the script to User.

Please help me to out from this.

Thanks

In Script Editor, select File > Export…
In the Save dialog that opens there is a checkbox at the bottom that says “Run-only”. Check it.
The exported script will not open in any editor.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I used your suggestion, but I cannot run that script.

My expectation is user will run the script, but they should not edit that script at their end.

Please advise.

Additionally I used some applescript code in Automator too. How can I protect with password/encryption or Read only method.

Please advise.
