Hello All,
I’ve just created and tested my first AppleScript Studio project - and it works. This may sound silly, but… how do I now turn this into an application that any Mac OS X user can launch just by doubleclicking on it? I just can’t seem to get past the ‘build’ and ‘run’ debugging sections, despite everything appearing to compile and function correctly.
Help!
Many thanks!
The “build” feature in project-builder creates a double-clickable app in a folder called “build”, next to your project file… Look for it!
And “build & run” does the same, but also launches the app for you, so you can see what’s going on in the log. But the app is a simple and real app!
jj,
Under the “Targets” pane is “Build Styles.” What’s the difference between “Development” and “Deployment” in regards to building the application?

“Deployment” will compile the scripts as “run-only”, so nobody can see the code browsing “show package contents” (Contents/Resources/Scripts/myscript.scpt). Consequently, it also creates smaller files…
Cool! That is good to know.
Thanks,
