Hello I am writing a simple Mail.app plugin that is intended for exporting emails in a custom format. Now, the problem is that I used to save email files into a temporary directory (NSTempDirectory()) before converting them. It worked fine on 10.6 and 10.7, but on OS X 10.8, everytime I try to write anything from within a Mail.app plugin (plugins operate on behalf of Mail.app itself) to /private/var/tmp I am getting a "You do not have permissions" error. I suppose this is because Mail on Mountain Lion became sandboxed.
I thought I found a solution to write to /tmp, using this function: NSString *TempDir = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForDirectory:NSItemReplacementDirectory inDomain:NSUserDomainMask appropriateForURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"file:///private/var/tmp/mytempdir"] create:YES error:nil] path]; but everytime i try to write to TempDir, i still get this "No permission" error. Even though the directory, whose path is in TempDir (/private/var/folders/68/qm5hjswj1gjc5_5ngpdjkh8c0000gn/T/com.apple.mail/TemporaryItems/(A Document Being Saved By Mail)) is allowed for writing for an ordinary user. Why can't I write there programmatically then?..
