- Thread-topic: Invoke Unix Tool in Script Application Bundle
I have done this with no problem, works great. I put my script/app or whatever in Contents/Resources or Contents/Resources/Scripts which follows other examples. Open any application bundle and you'll see what I mean. Functionally I don't think it matters as a path is a path....

I need to write a unix program ("command line tool") in C/Cocoa/Carbon
to access some API that are not available in AppleScript.
(Specifically, I need to parse and decode a base-64 encoded File Alias
that is stored in a file, and convert it to a unix path.) I want to
ship this tool inside an AppleScript application package, so that my
user only gets one package to doubleclick and run.
So, here's what I plan to do: Save script as application bundle, put
the tool in the bundle's Contents/MacOS. In the script, run the tool
with something like
set toolPath to ((POSIX path of (path to me)) as string) & "/Contents/
MacOS/" & toolName
do shell script toolPath & arguments, ... etc.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried anything like this,
and/or can suggest a better way, before I dig myself in too deeply.
