`UiPath.AppleScripting.Activities.InvokeAppleScript`

Invokes an Apple script and returns its output.

This activity executes AppleScript code on macOS systems and returns the output. You can provide the script either as inline content or by specifying a file path to a script file. The activity supports timeout configuration and has an option to throw exceptions when the script fails, that is, exits with a non-zero code. AppleScript is a powerful scripting language on macOS that can automate tasks and control applications.
