to debug numerous arbitrary applications in Xcode.

The technique works well, but it is laborious to set the active executable manually.
This attempt to automate the setup with AppleScript

 tell application "Xcode"
	open "/path/to/DebugDummy.xcodeproj"
	set active executable to "/path/to/MyTest.app"
	debug
 end tell

gives: Xcode got an error: Can’t set active executable to "/path/ to/MyTest.app".
[In the real script, /path/to/MyTest.app is of course replaced by a genuine path].

How can I set the active executable with AppleScript?

I haven't tried this myself, but the sdef suggests you would make a new 'executable' specifying the 'name' and 'startup directory', and then tell a specified project to set its 'active executable' to the newly created executable.
