This page describes how you can build a simple AppleScript Application using XCode.
Creating a Wikipedia-Application[1]
Creating the project
I used XCode 3.2.1 on Snow Leopard (10.6) for creating this project.
Choose "New Project…" from File Menu
Choose "Cocoa-AppleScript Application" from Templates
Add an Outlet
Double-Click the Interface-File
Search for WebView and drag it into your window
Resize the WebView to fill the window
Set Size-Settings for automatic resizing
Connect the Outlet to the WebView
Adding a Web View
Opening an URL
More
Finetuning
There is some of finetuning that you might want to consider:
- Save the window position
- Create and set an application icon
- Set version information and copyright
- Customize about box
- Add custom behaviour, e.g. creating an PDF from an web page, or saving bookmarks...
- Adding buttons for something you want to (paste text, translate text, look word up in Dictionary...)
- Stuff
