Further to my previous questions about sandboxing, I have now done more research and experimentation, and the more I find out about it the more questions it throws up.
1. I have a folder in the Application Support folder that my apps have been using to store and retrieve log data, but even if I add an entitlement relative to the home folder to /Library/Application Support/My Folder/ I still can't access it. I would have expected the sandbox to have a link to that folder created in the container folder, but it doesn't. I'm interested in knowing what I may have done wrong with this… 2. My application allows users to drag files on to the documents to create links to those files, and when they click the links, it uses NSWorkspace to open the files, which initially works, but then when the user restarts the application, and tries to open the file, it says that I don't have permission to view it. I think this is a fundamental limitation of the sandbox, and believe that there is no workaround for this. I would love to be proved wrong on this. 3. In my application, you can embed files as part of the file that is saved, and when you want to open the embedded file, it copies it to a temporary folder (using NSTemporaryDirectory() ), and uses NSWorkspace to open the file. This is being denied by the sandbox with a message "deny file-issue-extension", and "Quarantine resolution refused". So this gets blocked too… Is there some way around this? 4. When I try to launch my error reporting application from my main application, I get an error LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -10827. Again, this only happens when using sandboxing - any clues? 5. I use CFPreferencesCopyAppValue to read information about the user's iPhoto preferences (so that I know where to look to load their iPhoto library), but this doesn't seem to work in the sandbox either - is there a workaround for this? All of these issues are show stoppers for me being able to use the sandbox, and with Apple declaring that all apps submitted to the app store must be sandboxed, this becomes a major issue. If any of these is not able to be resolved, then I will not be able to submit my app to the app store. If these issues are not resolved, I can think of quite a number of productivity applications that won't be able to be sandboxed for these same reasons. Any assistance with any of these issues will be greatly appreciated.
