ScriptingBridge lets a Swift or Objective-C program on macOS send Apple events to scriptable apps to control them and exchange data. You connect to a target app through SBApplication, then work with its scripting objects as SBObject instances and with collections of those objects as SBElementArray. Adopt SBApplicationDelegate to respond to events and errors that arise while communicating with the scripted app.
