Returning an NSArray should work...
(it works for me...)

For example in scriptable PostgreSQL client of mine, I have an entry
                <key>tableNames</key>
                <dict>
                    <key>AppleEventCode</key>
                    <string>CoTN</string>
                    <key>ReadOnly</key>
                    <string>YES</string>
                    <key>Type</key>
                    <string>NSArray</string>
                </dict>

implemented as

- (NSArray *)tableNames
{
        return [_database tables]    ;
}

and it works perfectly

My Cocoa subclass of NSScriptCommand represents an AppleScript command that
returns a list. I therefore return an array of script object specifiers from
my override of -performDefaultImplementation. My sdef file defines a command
result of <type type="specifier" list="yes">. The command works when used in
a script, except that the list it returns contains only the first element of
many in the array.


The same thing happens when I return an array of the actual objects
(evaluated specifiers), and define the result type as <type type="mytype"
list="yes"> in the sdef file.


What should I do to make the command return the complete contents of the
array?


(Ken Victor asked essentially the same question on Cocoa-Dev a couple of
weeks ago and received no response.)
