Hi,
I am crossposting this from the Automator lists after noticing they are really low-traffic. Please excuse me.
I have just registered as a Mac developer, and have been sending people signed Applescript Applets. Now, I would like to graduate to the Appstore.
My aim is to distribute a collection of actions that
manipulate the command-line Vagrant VM loader, in order to allow the user to use some dedicated VMs without typing commands in Terminal, . The VM lets the user compute with Octave. My current install and user experience for this purpose is miserable for the user.
At the moment, I already have some running user-tested AppleScript code which has the required functionality, and which I've been testing as Automator actions via "Run AppleScript". These scripts would look something like
tell application "Terminal" to activate
tell application "Terminal"
do script " vagrant up"
end tell
I would like to know how I can distribute these scripts while complying with sandboxing, and how I can create an installer for them. I also need to find a way to allow the user to easily install a few more (text) configuration files somewhere in his private writeable directory hierarchy.
Thank you for your help. I would of course be glad to pointers to *current* documentation on these topics.
