Can you execute an Applescript script from a Swift Application

Question

I have a simple AppleScript that sends an email. How can I call it from within a Swift application?

(I wasn't able to find the answer via Google.)

As Kamaros suggests, you can call NSApplescript directly without having to launch a separate process via NSTask (as CRGreen suggests.)

Swift Code

let myAppleScript = "..." var error: NSDictionary? if let scriptObject = NSAppleScript(source: myAppleScript) {     if let output: NSAppleEventDescriptor = scriptObject.executeAndReturnError(                                                                        &error) {         print(output.stringValue)     } else if (error != nil) {         print("error: \(error)")     } }
