Ok here's my follow-up...I confirmed that everything I told you was true and finally said to myself I will just communicate with this executable inside my bundle. This works until I submit it to the Mac App Store and I get invalid binary because this executable (3rd party) is not sandboxed. So I give this binary entitlements and now when I try to communicate with it via NSTask it crashes and the crash report reveals that a sandbox cannot be created. I thought that any of my resources carried the same sandbox anyways as my main app? So now I still don't know what to do? If I don't sandbox the executable it works but the App Store won't accept it, and if I do sandbox it the App Store (presumably) will accept it but it crashes. What should I do?
Thanks for the help in advance as I'm quite stuck here, rc On Jun 23, 2012, at 3:25 AM, Nick Zitzmann wrote: > > On Jun 22, 2012, at 4:51 AM, Rick C. wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> In the non-sandboxed version of my app upon first launch I copied a helper >> executable from my bundle to my application support folder (standard >> location) and communicated with it via nstask.
