I searched Developer website and found these articles on Catalyst and
AppleScript:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uniformtypeidentifiers/uttype/3551457-applescript
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsapplescript
I just hope they keep adding support with AppleScript and update it to the
newer technologies. Like, I would love to implement AppleScript code in Siri
Shortcuts.
Best regards,
Kell
