Answer 1

Code:

NSAppleScript *script= [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"tell application \"Safari\" to return URL of front document as string"];
NSDictionary *scriptError = nil;
NSAppleEventDescriptor *descriptor = [script executeAndReturnError:&scriptError];
if(scriptError) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@",scriptError);
} else {        
    NSAppleEventDescriptor *unicode = [descriptor coerceToDescriptorType:typeUnicodeText];
    NSData *data = [unicode data];
    NSString *result = [[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters:(unichar*)[data bytes] length:[data length] / sizeof(unichar)];
    NSLog(@"Result: %@",result);
}
