Answer 1

Since your app is sandboxed (Project Settings > Capabilities turn on App Sandbox) you have three options:

• Add temporary entitlements for the applications you want to use.
• Put your scripts in the appropriate directory in ~/Library/Application Scripts/ and use NSUserAppleScriptTask.
• Implement an AppleScriptObjC bridge and run the AppleScript code from the ASOC framework (requires also an Objective-C bridging header file).

In a sandboxed app NSAppleScript refuses to work.
