Another quick way to test if this is an AppleScript Studio is to take a
look at it's dictionary from a script editor. If you see all of the
Studio script suites, then you can be sure that the application is at
least linked with the AppleScriptKit framework.

I should have been more specific and asked "If a package includes

really just looking for a foolproof way to identify an AppleScript
Studio app.
Many apps, even before AppleScript Studio was available, contain
scripts.
There were ways to use scripts to perform application functionality
before
AS Studio. Also, apps with script menus might include some scripts in
the
app bundle, as far as I know. So just looking for a script in the
bundle
wouldn't be guaranteed.
Also, bear in mind that an AS Studio app is really just a Cocoa app.
Any
Cocoa app can use the AS Studio AppleScriptKit framework in order to
use a
little bit of AppleScript code to supplement what is mostly an
Objective-C
Cocoa app, just as any such app can use a little Cocoa code to
supplement
what is mostly an AppleScript app. So you have a philosophical or
definitional issue to resolve, as well as a code test to invent.
I missed the beginning of this thread. Do you want to know whether it
is an
AS Studio app (whatever that is) just for purposes of putting a label
on it?
Or is there some functional reason you need to know the answer? If the
latter, better to test for the functionality you need to distinguish.
Yes, I just want to put a label on it. I only use "AppleScript Studio
app" because that's the terminology that Apple uses on their web site.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. :-)
