# AppleScriptBridge
Swift code to manage "Music.app" using AppleScript.
# Capability and privacy setting
At first, you have to add the following privacy authentication phrase to the `Info.plist`.
## Permit the application to use AppleEvent.
## Permit to communicate with Music.app.
# ScriptBridge
## Create Music.h using `sdef`
```
sdef /System/Applications/Music.app | sdp -fh --basename Music
```
## Import header file
Added Music.h to the Xcode project.
## Create Bridging Header
At first, create a dummy objective-c sources and then Xcode will ask you to create a bridging header.
You can add the following line to the bridging header.
```objc
//
// Use this file to import your target's public headers that you would like to expose to Swift.
//
#import "Music.h"
```
## Prepare interface to write Swift code
You have to prepare the interface to write Swift code.
But, I've already implemented [the python script](https://github.com/sonsongithub/AppleScriptBridge/blob/main/converter.py) to extract the Swift interface from the header file.
```bash
python converter.py ./AppleScriptBridge/Music.h ./AppleScriptBridge/Music.swift
```
## Write Swift code
```swift
if let musicApp: MusicApplication = SBApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.Music") {
if let song = musicApp.currentTrack {
print(song.name)
print(song.artist)
}
}
```
# NSAppleScript
We can also use `NSAppleScript` to execute AppleScript.
This way requres us to write AppleScript codes and implement some classes or structs to handle the result. Refer to [the example](https://github.com/sonsongithub/AppleScriptBridge/blob/main/AppleScriptBridge/AppleScriptManager.swift).
