Question

I am running an Applescript that runs Xcode 4, but the script ends no matter what, either if the build is successful or if it fails.

Is there any way that I can wait for Xcode to finish to build and get the result? In case of a success I can just end the Applescript with a success message, but if it fails I would like to get the logs that are printed in Xcode (where I get all the errors and details) and pass them to the script so they can be saved on a file.

Can someone point me to the right procedure to do this?

Answer 1

Please see this question along with my answer, but essentially the build command in Xcode 4 does not work properly because of what looks to be an incomplete implementation on Apple’s part. If the command actually returned a value, then Applescript would wait until it got a response before moving onto the next command.
