how can i include shell scripts in applescript

To include shell scripts in AppleScript, you can use the do shell script command. This command allows you to execute shell commands directly from within your AppleScript. Here is a basic example:

do shell script "echo Hello, World!"

This command will execute the echo Hello, World! shell command and return the result.

For more advanced usage, you can include more complex shell scripts. For example, if you want to run a script that checks the health of a server, you could do something like this:

set serverHealthCheck to "curl -s -o /dev/null -w \"%{http_code}\" http://yourserver.com/health"
set result to do shell script serverHealthCheck
if result is "200" then
    display dialog "Server is healthy!"
else
    display dialog "Server is down!"
end if

This script uses curl to check the health of a server and displays a dialog based on the HTTP status code returned.

For more information on using shell scripts within Xcode Cloud workflows, you can refer to the session Extend your Xcode Cloud workflows from WWDC 2024. This session covers how to define custom scripts inside your repository that will be run at specific points in your build process.
