That could get really tricky given the new rules with scripts and
sandboxing. The scripts folder cannot be written to by your app
(AFAIK, it can only be created and read). App would have to direct the
customer to copy in the appropriate script into your script folder.
It's about as clunky a process as you can imagine.
Apple was supposed to fix scripting issue and claimed they did in WWDC
2012 video. Clearly App Store reviewers were not given this new piece
of knowledge or are doing a very poor job communicating the issues
they have to the developer. Given my recent experience, I wouldn't be
surprised if it was more the latter.
IMHO, App review process seems to be about offering vague rejection
notices and letting the developer try to guess what the actual issue
is, rather than offering specific information to help the developer
fix the issue at hand and get the App into the store.

Not so nice, but I could never find a simple way to just tell the system to send an email using the user's default mail client. Does NSSharingService do that?
