My Cocoa app consists of GUI component and an agent foundation component in a conventional bundle.
The agent can execute without the GUI to provide a network accessible service. I would like AppleScripts run by the foundation tool to be able to target a scriptable helper app. I would prefer NOT to target my app as this would expose the GUI. I don't want to load additional AppleScript objects (via AS load script) or write a scripting addition. Thus I need to target another app, let's call it the Helper app. The Image Events application in /system/library/coreservices comes to mind here. My questions are: 1. Presumably I have to target a fully fledged application bundle and cannot somehow route my AE requests to the foundation tool itself. 2. Can I embed the helper app in the main app bundle and engineer some way for AppleScript to be able to target it? I seem to remember reading something about app bundles enclosed with other apps but cannot recall it. I don't really want to have two external app bundles. 3.When configuring a Cocoa app to behave like Image events.app is it sufficient just to declare LSBackgroundOnly = "1" in the info.plist?
