macOS [Cocoa] NSTask Help

I want to run a shell script I wrote, but I'm having some trouble figuring it out. this is my code so far.

NSString *crackPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"shell" ofType:@"sh"];
    [NSString addFileWithPath:shellPath];
    
    [outPipe release];
    [inPipe release];
    [task release];
    
    outPipe = [[NSPipe alloc] init];
    inPipe = [[NSPipe alloc] init];
    task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
    
    [task setLaunchPath:shellPath];
    
    [task setStandardOutput:outPipe];
    [task setStandardInput:inPipe];
    
    
    [task launch];

What's the [NSString addFileWithPath:shellPath]; bit supposed to do?

Well, the question I have is: does this even compile? That doesn't look like a valid method call at all.

shellPath is defined where?

Check the documentation for NSString. No such class method exists.
