Hello,

I'm wondering how you generate the .app package.
Is it with AppleScript Editor and saving as "Application Bundle"
(fourth choice in the Save As... File Format)?
If yes, you could also save in plain text.

Afterwards, if you want to build the Application Bundle with the
command line instead of doing it manually with the AppleScript Editor,
you can
use :
osacompile -o foo.app foo.applescript
where foo.app is the name of the Application Bundle
foo.applescript is the name the plain text file with the script
