Escaping the Mac App Store Sandbox (or at least a small part of it)
0 likes505 views
The document discusses escaping part of the Mac App Sandbox by using File Presenters. File Presenters allow sandboxed apps to work with temporary files on disk in a multi-threaded environment. The author implements a File Presenter class to enable "Related Items" functionality for a sandboxed app, allowing it to process temporary files related to files selected by the user. Setting up the Xcode target correctly registers the app's support for File Presenters and temporary related items.
