Crash/error when sending iMessage on OS X 10.10.2 #4

The UI loaded just fine, I tabbed between names and the textbox a few times, then typed a message and hit enter. Immediately after, it crashed.

Using OS X 10.10.2 and iTerm2 Build 2.0.0.20141103.

Looks like AppleScript can't find Messages.app. You have to have Messages.app open and be signed in to iMessages

^ + Allow Terminal.app to control your computer via System Preferences > Privacy > Accessibility. This is not a good idea for security reasons.

And every time a message is sent, Messages.app is brought in focus and the entered message is viewed in the text field while being sent. such hack.
