Solution

  • You can get file objects from normal paths with POSIX file:

    tell application "Finder"
    open POSIX file "/Users/username/Documents/workspace/workspace.xcodeproj"
end tell

    This is slightly slower, but it works even if Finder is not responding:

    do shell script "open ~/Documents/workspace/workspace.xcodeproj"
