Hello,

Unable to see the App Sandbox entitlement while creating a new App ID. Have tried to recreate APP ID multiple times. Don't see the option in Developer portal.

On macOS, some entitlements are unrestricted, meaning that they don’t need to be authorised by a provisioning profile. The App Sandbox entitlement (com.apple.security.app-sandbox) is one of those. Any program can claim it without need of a profile, and thus there’s no need to enable it as a capability on the Developer website.

For more background on how this works, see TN3125 Inside Code Signing: Provisioning Profiles.
