macOS Cannot open a new Word document in Objective-C

[erudit]

Hello,

I have a task to open Microsoft Word and create a new document in Objective C.

If I am running an Apple Script below in the Script Editor, it works fine and a new Microsoft Word document gets created:

tell application "Microsoft Word" to make new document"

BUT, if I am trying to call the same script from Objective-C code (see it below), it only opens the Microsoft Word application, but does not create a new document :

NSDictionary* errorDict;
NSAppleScript * appleScript = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:

@"tell application \"Microsoft Word\" to make new document"];

[appleScript executeAndReturnError:&errorDict];

I guess there is something to do with the permissions.

Any ideas are very welcome!

Do you get anything helpful in errorDict?

Sounds like it might have something to do with Sandboxing and/or Hardened Runtime. Check this out, it may help:
