Yes, I am on Mavericks. It does require authorization as you described but even that takes 20 seconds to be prompted and once I grant it permission it still takes 1 to 2 minutes to run.
In looking at this command line steps I wouldn’t expect it to work because it is specifically looking for the applet. In my case the LiveCode app is sending the script. There is no applet in the traditional sense. I wonder if pointing it to the LiveCode engine would do the same thing. Thanks for the feedback and confirmation. I’ll ask LiveCode support about it.
