There is a temporary entitlement: com.apple.security.temporary-exception.shared-preference.read-only Use that as the key, and the bundle identifier of an app as the value. This will allow a sandboxed app to read another app's preferences. I don't know if the reverse applies though, having not had a need to try it. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
