So apparently the app sandbox prevents an app from compiling an AppleScript that targets an app that’s not in /Applications.
@mjtsai I guess a question is can you coerce OSA into compiling the script without trying to open the dictionary?

@danielpunkass I don’t know. Don’t some apps need to be launched because they provide the dictionary dynamically? - View other replies

@mjtsai Yeah, that may be true. But isn’t this just for targeting your own app? Maybe@uliwitness is right and you should precompile. -
@danielpunkass@uliwitness Right, in this particular case, I’m going to recommend that the Airmail guys just precompile their script. - View other replies

@mjtsai@uliwitness It’s an interesting nuance, though. I think it would be valid to request via Radar that AppleScript be capable …

@danielpunkass No, you can't compile from text to bytecode w/o the dictionary, but you can save precompiled scripts in AppleScript editor.
