MacOS – Set Apple Script App as custom browser on macOS mojave

applescriptmacosmojave

I followed instructions here: Default Browser .plist location

But it does't work. My custom app doesn't show up in the list of browsers to choose from in system settings:

I have tried:

  • calling /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister on the modified plist file.
  • moving the custom app to /Applications

What does it take to get this to work on macOS mojave? Thanks

I eventually solved the problem using SwiftDefaultApps command line tool swda. It works. Although, this box now shows up blank in system setting.
