Re: Extract text out of NSAppleEventDescriptor

This is unknown territory for me. I tried to obtain the AEDesc desc, to plug it into your routine below:

OSStatus err = AESendMessage(theAppleEventPtr, &reply, kAEWaitReply, kAEDefaultTimeout);
NSAppleEventDescriptor *replyDescriptor = [[[NSAppleEventDescriptor alloc] initWithAEDescNoCopy:&reply] autorelease];

AEDesc desc = [replyDescriptor aeDesc];

Xcode reports error: invalid initializer

Read the header.  -[NSAppleEventDescriptor aeDesc] returns an AEDesc *, not an AEDesc.  (It's a pointer into the guts of the object, so *don't* try to hang on to it longer than the object!)

I don't believe you've ever said where this bogus reply is coming from.  If it's not from your code, then whose is it?  Because they should fix it.
