Hi guys, I'm developing a FinderSync Extension that extends Finder contextual menu with a couple of items doing some trivial file operations. I'm using Xcode 16.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 I could run the containing app in debug, and in System Preferences -> File Providers the flag is enabled for my app finder extension. Anyway, the contextual menu does not show in Finder, probably because the finder extension crashes immediately. Some output: pluginkit -m | grep "com\.[^a]" + com.mycompany.MyApp.MyAppFinderExtension(1.1.14) codesign -dvvv --entitlements - /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-dmzhnwmosboixodalsrrbwvwvmqm/Build/Products/Debug/MyApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/MyApp\ Finder\ Extension.appex Executable=/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-dmzhnwmosboixodalsrrbwvwvmqm/Build/Products/Debug/MyApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/MyApp Finder Extension.appex/Contents/MacOS/MyApp Finder Extension Identifier=com.mycompany.MyApp.MyAppFinderExtension Format=bundle with Mach-O thin (arm64) CodeDirectory v=20400 size=659 flags=0x2(adhoc) hashes=9+7 location=embedded Hash type=sha256 size=32 CandidateCDHash sha256=b59538ef9e3b6e8cf462a3e260e3bf26d050deb5 CandidateCDHashFull sha256=b59538ef9e3b6e8cf462a3e260e3bf26d050deb5e21fb27d4fa0a4fe5f3e78b7 Hash choices=sha256 CMSDigest=b59538ef9e3b6e8cf462a3e260e3bf26d050deb5e21fb27d4fa0a4fe5f3e78b7 CMSDigestType=2 CDHash=b59538ef9e3b6e8cf462a3e260e3bf26d050deb5 Signature=adhoc Info.plist entries=23 TeamIdentifier=not set Sealed Resources version=2 rules=13 files=9 Internal requirements count=0 size=12 [Dict] [Key] com.apple.security.app-sandbox [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.application-groups [Value] [Array] [String] [Key] com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.assets.music.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.files.documents.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.get-task-allow [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.personal-information.location [Value] [Bool] true The log is showing something very strange: log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "com.mycompany.MyApp" and messageType = error' --last 1h Filtering the log data using "composedMessage CONTAINS "com.mycompany.MyApp" AND logType == 16" Skipping info and debug messages, pass --info and/or --debug to include.

Why are we doing this nonsense? We want to be able to run builds in a sandbox such that they can only see the paths they are intended to depend on, to improve reproducibility. With builds with a very large number of dependencies, there's a very large number of paths added to the sandbox, and it breaks things inside libsandbox. Either it hits some sandbox length limit (sandbox-exec: pattern serialization length 66460 exceeds maximum (65535), Nix issue #4119, worked around: Nix PR 12570), or it hits an assert (this report; also Nix issue #2311). The other options for sandboxing on macOS are not viable; we acknowledge sandbox-exec and sandbox_init_with_parameters are deprecated; App Sandbox is inapplicable because we aren't an app. Our use case is closer to a browser, and all the browsers use libsandbox internally. We could possibly use SystemExtension or a particularly diabolical use of Virtualization.framework, but the former API requires notarization which is close to a no-go for our use case as open source software: it is nearly impossible to develop the software on one's own computer, and it would require us to ship a binary blob (and have the build processes to produce one in infrastructure completely dissimilar to what we use today); it also requires a bunch of engineering time. Today, we can pretend that code signing/notarization doesn't exist and that we are writing an old-school Unix daemon, because we are one. The latter is absolutely diabolical and hard to implement. See this saga about the bug we are facing: Nix issue #4119, Nix issue #2311, etc. What is going wrong I can't attach the file fail.sb as it is too large (you can view the failing test case at Lix's gerrit, CL 2870) and run this: $ sandbox-exec -D _GLOBAL_TMP_DIR=/tmp -f fail.sb /bin/sh Assertion failed: (diff &lt;= INSTR_JUMP_NE_MAX_LENGTH), function push_jne_instr, file serialize.c, line 240. zsh: abort sandbox-exec -D _GLOBAL_TMP_DIR=/tmp -f fail.sb /bin/sh Or a stacktrace: stacktrace.txt Credits Full credits to Jade Lovelace (Lix) for writing the above text and filing a bug.

Hi all, I'm developing a sandboxed Mac OS app that generates and compiles AppleScript files to automate tasks in Pages (and other iWork apps). The app creates an AppleScript file and writes it to the NSApplicationScriptsDirectory (i.e., ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.example.app), then compiles and executes it via NSUserAppleScriptTask. On Mac OS Ventura, however, I get the following error in the console when trying to write the file: [PagesModifier] Error creating or compiling the script: You are not allowed to save the file "PagesModifier_...applescript" in the folder "com.example.app" Here are my current entitlements: &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.app-sandbox&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.application-groups&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array/&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.automation.apple-events&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.scripting-targets&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Pages&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Numbers&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.apple.iWork.Keynote&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;Library/Application Scripts/com.example.app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; I suspect the issue might be due to sandbox restrictions on dynamically creating or modifying the Application Scripts directory on Ventura. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on how to work around this? Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve explained this point many times on the forums, so I figured I’d write it up properly once and for all. If you have questions or comments, start a new thread in Privacy & Security > General and add the App Sandbox tag. That way I’ll be sure to see it. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" The Case for Sandboxing a Directly Distributed App Many folks consider the App Sandbox to be a binary choice: “My app ships in the Mac App Store, so I must sandbox it.” “I directly distribute my app, so I’ll ignore the App Sandbox.” However, those are not your only options. In many cases it makes sense to sandbox a directly distributed app. Sandboxing your app has at least three benefits: It enables app container protection. See Trusted Execution Resources for a link to more info on that. If your app includes any app extensions, it simplifies your development experience because your app and its extensions run in a similar environment. It improves your app’s security (although the actual benefits vary based on the specifics of your app). Sandboxing some apps can be tricky because of the additional security limits applied by the sandbox. However, in a directly distributed app you have access to two techniques that are not available to Mac App Store apps: Temporary exception entitlements Non-sandboxed XPC services Temporary exception entitlements Use temporary exception entitlements to selectively disable specific sandbox security limits. Imagine, for example, that you’re creating a simple document-based app that’s generally compatible with the sandbox. However, that app needs to send an Apple event to Music to create a playlist. That Apple event is blocked by the sandbox. You don’t need to disable the entire App Sandbox just to get around this security limit. Instead, use the com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events entitlement to open a small hole in the sandbox. There are temporary exception entitlements to disable most sandbox security limits. For more information about them, follow the link in App Sandbox Resources. IMPORTANT Don’t be alarmed by the temporary in temporary exception entitlements. That word makes sense when you view this from the Mac App Store perspective. Back in the early days of the Mac App Store, some apps were allowed to use temporary exception entitlements because of limitations in the App Sandbox. Once App Sandbox was sufficiently enhanced, these temporary exception entitlements were no longer allowed in the Mac App Store. However, there’s nothing temporary about the implementation of these entitlements. They work today and are expected to continue working in the future. Using them in a directly distributed app is not a problem. Non-sandboxed XPC services Not all sandbox security limits have a corresponding temporary exception entitlement. For example, the sandbox prevents you from sending a Unix signal to other processes, and there’s no temporary exception entitlement to allow that. If you run into such a limit, move that code to a non-sandboxed XPC service, then have the main app request that the XPC service perform the operation on its behalf. An XPC service can be useful even when there is a temporary exception entitlement to disable a specific sandbox security limit. Continuing the Apple event example from above, if you put the code that sends the Apple event into an XPC service, you only need to apply the temporary exception entitlement to that service, not to your app as a whole. Conclusion If you directly distribute your app, consider enabling the App Sandbox. It has some important benefits, and it might be more feasible than you think.

Hello, our app is non-sandboxed app, but we do want to support widget extension and safari extension. Those extensions require sandboxing. Is it possible to do this without sandboxing our app? Thank you!

Hi. I'm trying to learn macOS app development. i'm trying to run unix commands: func execute(_ command: String) throws -&gt; String { let process = Process() let pipe = Pipe() process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/bin/bash") process.arguments = ["-c", command] process.standardOutput = pipe // process.standardError try process.run() process.waitUntilExit() guard let data = try pipe.fileHandleForReading.readToEnd() else { throw CommandError.readError } guard let output = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) else { throw CommandError.invalidData } process.waitUntilExit() guard process.terminationStatus == 0 else { throw CommandError.commandFailed(output) } return output } when try to run "pgrep" in sandbox mode ON, i get: sysmon request failed with error: sysmond service not found error. if i turn it off it works. i don't know what to do. anyone can help me out?

The application search for the occurences of a string into files and folders. Everything work fine until I enable sanbox. Then opendir(path_to_folder) report "Operation not permitted". By example dp = opendir("/Users/alain/Desktop"); set dp to NULL for my own Desktop. The application need only read access. How can I get this access ?

I’m attempting to make an app that uses Disk Arbitration to intercept a disk mount (by creating and returning a dissenter in the appropriate callback) and then mount the disk with certain options (specifically, read-only, nobrowse, or both, depending on user options). For example: DADiskMountWithArguments(disk, nil, DADiskMountOptions(kDADiskMountOptionDefault), nil, nil, kReadOnly) …where kReadOnly is a pointer to an array only containing a “rdonly” CFString. While DADiskMountWithArguments seems to be usable in a sandboxed app for disk images, it doesn’t work when the disk is an external disk (e.g. connected via USB). I see lines like this in Console.app when this happens: Sandbox denied authorizing right 'system.volume.external.mount' by client '/path/to/exe' [17934] (engine 580) I’ve identified two workarounds that allow this to work in a sandbox, but both have their own problems: If a LaunchDaemon (even a sandboxed one, which is required for registration with SMAppService.daemon from the sandboxed app) does the call to DADiskMountWithArguments, it will succeed. But App Store policies don’t allow escalation to root. If I use the undocumented entitlement com.apple.security.temporary-exception.sbpl with a value of (allow authorization-right-obtain (right-name "system.volume.external.mount")), the mount works without escalation to root. But I understand that App Review is likely to reject the use of this entitlement, and that this entitlement isn't supported to begin with. Specifically, these are the behaviors I see on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 and Xcode 16.2. Since I would like to try to publish this app on the App Store, neither of these seem like acceptable solutions. I don’t see why this should be restricted if the sandboxed app is not declaring a special path (i.e. the path in DADiskMountWithArguments is set to nil) and still does not have access to the mounted filesystem - am I missing something/is there a way to accomplish this?

I am currently developing a No-Sandbox application. What I want to achieve is to use AuthorizationCopyRights in a No-Sandbox application to elevate to root, then register SMAppService.daemon after elevation, and finally call the registered daemon from within the No-Sandbox application. Implementation Details Here is the Plist that I am registering with SMAppService: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.example.agent</string> <key>BundleProgram</key> <string>/usr/local/bin/test</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/bin/test</string> <string>login</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Code that successfully performs privilege escalation (a helper tool popup appears) private func registerSMAppServiceDaemon() -> Bool { let service = SMAppService.daemon(plistName: "com.example.plist") do { try service.register() print("Successfully registered \(service)") return true } catch { print("Unable to register \(error)") return false } } private func levelUpRoot() -> Bool { var authRef: AuthorizationRef? let status = AuthorizationCreate(nil, nil, [], &authRef) if status != errAuthorizationSuccess { return false } let rightName = kSMRightBlessPrivilegedHelper return rightName.withCString { cStringName -> Bool in var authItem = AuthorizationItem( name: cStringName, valueLength: 0, value: nil, flags: 0 ) return withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &authItem) { authItemPointer -> Bool in var authRights = AuthorizationRights(count: 1, items: authItemPointer) let authFlags: AuthorizationFlags = [.interactionAllowed, .preAuthorize, .extendRights] let status = AuthorizationCopyRights(authRef!, &authRights, nil, authFlags, nil) if status == errAuthorizationSuccess { if !registerSMAppServiceDaemon() { return false } return true } return false } } } Error Details Unable to register Error Domain=SMAppServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Operation not permitted} The likely cause of this error is that /usr/local/bin/test is being bundled. However, based on my understanding, since this is a non-sandboxed application, the binary should be accessible as long as it is run as root. Trying post as mentioned in the response, placing the test binary under Contents/Resources/ allows SMAppService to successfully register it. However, executing the binary results in a different error. Here is the plist at that time. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.example.agent</string> <key>BundleProgram</key> <string>Contents/Resources/test</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>Contents/Resources/test</string> <string>login</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Here is the function at that time. private func executeBin() { let bundle = Bundle.main if let binaryPath = bundle.path(forResource: "test", ofType: nil) { print(binaryPath) let task = Process() task.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: binaryPath) task.arguments = ["login"] let pipe = Pipe() task.standardOutput = pipe task.standardError = pipe do { try task.run() let outputData = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile() if let output = String(data: outputData, encoding: .utf8) { print("Binary output: \(output)") } task.waitUntilExit() if task.terminationStatus == 0 { print("Binary executed successfully") } else { print("Binary execution failed with status: \(task.terminationStatus)") } } catch { print("Error executing binary: \(error)") } } else { print("Binary not found in the app bundle") } } Executed After Error Binary output: Binary execution failed with status: 5 Are there any other ways to execute a specific binary as root when using AuthorizationCopyRights? For example, by preparing a Helper Tool?

Hello, I'm buiding a macos app where I bundled a command line tool (Python) with my app. I put the tool in ****.app/Contents/MacOS folder, but it seems like the tool can not execute/read/ access. I don't know if a sandbox app can access/create a folder inside ****.app/Contents folder??? If not where can I put the tool that can access from my macos app? Any idea would be appreciated!

My app is a Safari extension. When trying to validate the app, I get the following error: App sandbox not enabled. The following executables must include the "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" entitlement with a Boolean value of true in the entitlements property list: [( "app.rango.Rango.pkg/Payload/Rango for Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Rango for Safari" )] Refer to App Sandbox page at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/app_sandbox for more information on sandboxing your app. I don't know why this is happening. I have app sandbox enabled in both the app and the extension target. I have both entitlement files. When executing codesign -d --entitlements :- /path/to/binary I get the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "https://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key><true/><key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key><true/><key>com.apple.security.get-task-allow</key><true/><key>com.apple.security.network.client</key><true/></dict></plist> If I check on Activity Monitor, on the sandbox column it shows true. I have no idea why I keep getting this error when all indicates that the app is actually sandboxed.

i recently upgraded to sequoia, and now, more often than not, when running in the debugger, opening my database causes a hang: When i run outside the debugger, it opens just fine. I suspect it has to do with "full disk access"? but i've given my app full disk access. i've also set Qt and Xcode to have "Allow apps to use developer tools" permissions. as a test i also added my app into that permission group, all to no avail. the path to the DB being opened is in my user's Music folder, and having full disk access gives permission for everything, including things in that folder. confused!

Dear Apple Developer Experts, We're experiencing an intermittent issue with WKWebView in our macOS application where local HTML file access is occasionally denied by the sandbox, despite proper implementation and permissions. We seek your guidance in understanding and resolving this issue. Issue Description: The WKWebView occasionally fails to load local HTML files stored in the app's Contents/Resources directory Error occurs in WebKit Networking Process with sandbox denial Issue is intermittent and can be resolved by app restart or WebKit Networking Process restart Affects all local HTML files in the same directory once the issue occurs Technical Details: Error from Kernel Log: 2025-02-07 14:57:17.179821 +0800 kernel Sandbox: com.apple.WebKit.Networking(58661) deny(1) file-read-data /Applications/DingTalk.app/Contents/Resources/webcontent/contact-2024.html WKWebView Delegate Error (captured in WKNavigationDelegate method): (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView didFailProvisionalNavigation:(WKNavigation *)navigation withError:(NSError *)error Error Details: Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code: 1 Description: "Operation not permitted" UserInfo: { networkTaskMetricsPrivacyStance: Unknown, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey: LocalDataTask &lt;3694CA1E-481B-4E06-975D-E3A56AD56C0F&gt;.&lt;1&gt;, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey: 1, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey: 1 } Key Observations: Error is captured in WKNavigationDelegate's didFailProvisionalNavigation method The issue affects all local HTML files in the same directory once it occurs Temporary workarounds we've discovered: Restarting the application completely resolves the issue Without restarting the application, terminating the "WebKit Networking Process" via Activity Monitor causes the process to automatically restart, and this resolves the issue and load works again Additional Information: We've collected complete system diagnostics (system_logs.logarchive) at the time of failure The issue appears similar to discussions in Apple Developer Forums (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/110072), though we're uncertain if it's the same root cause We've prepared a minimal demo project demonstrating: Our release version app can be downloaded from: https://dtapp-pub.dingtalk.com/dingtalk-desktop/mac_dmg/Release/M1-Beta/DingTalk_v7.6.45_43521682_universal.dmg?spm=0.0.0.0.UuwovG&amp;file=DingTalk_v7.6.45_43521682_universal.dmg for examining our app's codesign, sandbox, and entitlements configurations if needed Important Investigation Finding: We attempted to simulate the issue by using chmod 000 /path/to/test.html, but this produces a different error: CopyError Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1102 Description="You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

Questions: Is this a known issue with the WebKit sandbox in recent macOS versions? Are there recommended best practices or workarounds to prevent this sandbox denial? Could this be related to the WebKit Networking Process's sandbox configuration? Are there additional diagnostics or logs we should collect to help investigate this issue?

Windows 10 使用 VirtualBox 创建的 Monterey 12.6.7 macOS 虚拟机不能识别到 iPhone 7 手机。 iPhone 7 已经连接到电脑主机 (win 10) 的 USB 3.0 口子，手机已经信任电脑。 在 win 10，我看到了 “此电脑\Apple iPhone”，就是说，宿主机识别到了 手机。 现在，开启macOS 虚拟机，虚拟机右下角的 usb 图标，显示并且勾选到了 "Apple Inc. iPhone [0901]"，但虚拟机还是没看到手机设备，导致 Xcode 也看不到手机设备。 虚拟机运行后，插拔 iPhone 7 手机，通过 sudo log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "usbmuxd"' --info 看到了报错信息： 2025-02-13 10:31:06.541201+0800 0xa3c Error 0x0 0 0 kernel: (Sandbox) 1 duplicate report for System Policy: usbmuxd(22583) deny(1) file-write-mode /private/var/db/lockdown 2025-02-13 10:31:07.090321+0800 0xf807 Error 0x0 140 0 sandboxd: [com.apple.sandbox.reporting:violation] System Policy: usbmuxd(22583) deny(1) file-write-mode /private/var/db/lockdown Violation: deny(1) file-write-mode /private/var/db/lockdown Process: usbmuxd [22583] Path: /usr/local/sbin/usbmuxd Load Address: 0x10564b000 Identifier: usbmuxd Version: ???

Environment: Xcode v. 16.2; Swift version 6+ Scenario: I have an .xcodeproj within an .xcsworkingspace that must follow the 'command-line' paradigm outside the sandbox. My UnitTest (using the newer 'Swift Test' vs 'XCTest') is hitting runtime fatal errors due to sandbox violations. Here's a typical error line from the compiler: 1 duplicate report for Sandbox: chmod(41377) deny(1) file-read-data /Users/Ric/Library/.. I've set the .entitlement to ignore sandbox: &amp;lt;key&amp;gt;com.apple.security.app-sandbox&amp;lt;/key&amp;gt; &amp;lt;false/&amp;gt; I also created a shell script in the project build phase to access my TestData which was copied via a Build Phase: #!/bin/bash BUILD_DIR="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}" TEST_DATA="${SRCROOT}/SwiftModelTest/TestData" mkdir -p "${BUILD_DIR}/TestData" cp -R "${TEST_DATA}/" "${BUILD_DIR}/TestData/" What do I need to allow real-time Testing of my code without worrying about the Sandbox?

I am trying to simulate a paste command and it seems to not want to paste. It worked at one point with the same code and now is causing issues. My code looks like this: ` func simulatePaste() { guard let source = CGEventSource(stateID: .hidSystemState) else { print("Failed to create event source") return } let keyDown = CGEvent(keyboardEventSource: source, virtualKey: CGKeyCode(9), keyDown: true) let keyUp = CGEvent(keyboardEventSource: source, virtualKey: CGKeyCode(9), keyDown: false) keyDown?.flags = .maskCommand keyUp?.flags = .maskCommand keyDown?.post(tap: .cgAnnotatedSessionEventTap) keyUp?.post(tap: .cgAnnotatedSessionEventTap) print("Simulated Cmd + V") } I know that there is some issues around permissions and so in my Info.plist I have this: &lt;string&gt;NSApplication&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;NSAppleEventsUsageDescription&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;This app requires permission to send keyboard input for pasting from the clipboard.&lt;/string&gt; I have also disabled sandbox. It does ask me if I want to give the app permissions but after approving it, it still doesn't paste.

Hello, I’m developing a sandboxed macOS app using Qt, which will be distributed via the Mac App Store. The app: Monitors the clipboard to store copied items. Overrides the paste function of the operating system via keyboard shortcuts. Modifies clipboard content, replacing what the user pastes with stored data. So, I have some questions: Can a sandboxed app continuously read and modify clipboard content? What entitlements are required? What permissions should I request from the user to ensure that my app works? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Beril Bayram

Not sure if my question is weird or not, but I didnt find any documentation about an sdks access to an apps documents directory. Im assuming that because sdk is part of the sandbox that it can access and read from the documents directory? i.e. if i used NSFileManager.defaultManager.URLForDirectory( directory = NSCachesDirectory, inDomain = NSUserDomainMask, appropriateForURL = null, create = false, error = null, ) to write a file called "file.txt", then any sdk my app used has the ability to access the contents of said directory? If yes, why isnt this considered something more worth mentioning? usually in filemanager tutorials they never warn about this. FYI: Im asking more for iOS and iPadOs then MacOs.

hey everyone.!! In one of my macOS projects I am trying to fetch the files and folders available on "Desktop" and "Document" folder and trying to showing it on collection view inside the my project, but when I try to fetch the files and folder of desktop and document, I am not able to fetch it. But if i try it by setting the entitlements False, I am able to fetch it. If any have face the similar issue, or have an alternative it please suggest. NOTE:- I have tried implementing it using NSOpenPanel and it works, but it lowers the user experience.
