I have an applescript that is ran by Contacts to perform click to dial functionality. Due to the sandboxing of Contacts, this no longer works.
Is there a way to add entitlements to Contacts - or Apple applications in general?

How is the script achieving this? If with the so called "GUI Scripting" then you'd have to add the script as an app to the Privacy Pane of the Security System Preferences. – mahal tertin Nov 18 '13 at 12:45

@mahaltertin The applescript is calling `tell application [NAME] activate dial number end tell`. So it is contacts touching my application not the other way around. – mkeathley Nov 20 '13 at 18:07

How is the script started? With the script menu? And what is the error you see in Console.app? – mahal tertin Nov 21 '13 at 13:49

I'm following the AppleScript-Users mailing list at https://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/applescript-users . It is very active and I think you'll find more valuable answers that I can provide. – mahal tertin Nov 21 '13 at 13:51

I don't think the script has anything to do with the issue. I actually created a Address Book Plugin using Objective-C and have encountered the same issue. The error comes down to the Contacts app being sandboxed and unable to access my external application. If entitlements cannot be set on contacts then I will try and find a way to jerry-rig this even though it is not best practice. – mkeathley Nov 30 '13 at 02:20
