macOS' Privacy & Security has completely murdered AppleScript, and that sucks!
AppleScript
was a powerful way to automate simple-to-complex tasks..
Sounds trite, but on a production server that needs to run certain routines on software like 4D and FileMaker, there's no better way than to use AppleScript to get things done..
at least, there was no better way..
Now, there's nothing!
Oh, and please don't say Automator, it doesn't work either, and it's just a way more complicated way to do AppleScript
i used to have LaunchAgents that started different AppleScripts at different times of the day to perform all sorts of repetitive tasks like importing and exporting csv docs from FileMaker to 4D and back..
Everything worked like clockwork, except now macOS keeps asking for authorization, and interrupting the process at different points!
This is so frustrating!
No matter what i do!
Even if i save my scripts as locally signed apps, then give them authorizations for: Full Disk Access; Accessibility; App Management; Automation; Developer Tools; Screen & System Audio Recording!!!
Somehow, despite all these clearances, my AppleScripts still get interrupted!
wtf is the point of even having AppleScript (or Automator, if you're an infant)?!?!
We have this really powerful tool, that can really do great things, just to cripple it for absolutely no reason!
i get wanting security, but i also would like to authorize my own freakin' scripts once and for all, and not have macOS second guess me for absolutely no reason!
i guess even Apple can't resist the lure of enshittification..
Screaming into the void..
Thank you, Be Well!
