I am wanting to edit the TestFlightApp archive script so that when it prompts for release notes it will be a bigger textbox than just one line. Right now it displays the size of one line but will allow me to press CTRL+J to add multiple lines.
However my issue is trying to see what I have typed is a pain as I can only view one line at a time.
Here is what I have.
# Bring up an AppleScript dialog in Xcode to enter the Release Notes for this (beta) build:
NOTES=`osascript -e "tell application \"Xcode\"" -e "set notes_dialog to display dialog \"Please provide some release notes:\nHint: use Ctrl-J for New Line.\" default answer \"\" buttons {\"Next\"} default button \"Next\" with icon 1" -e "set notes to text returned of notes_dialog" -e "end tell" -e "return notes"`
It's not possible, text field of display dialog in Xcode or Automator can't be resized. But this is possible using the display dialog of osax "StandardAdditions". Try this.
The text field show 9 lines. To add a line: press the return key. If you have more than 9 lines, you can scroll with (the arrow key, page key or the mouse). The script convert carriage returns to newlines and it doesn't return the trailing blank lines.
