I've run across an unexpected and undocumented problem, and couldn't google anything on it.
It seems that if an app is sandboxed, it is not permitted to eject disks or unmount volumes. I tried -[NSWorkspace unmountAndEjectDeviceAtPath:], FSUnmountVolumeAsync / FSEjectVolumeAsync, DADiskUnmount / DADiskEject but all I get is failure with a message like "Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-47 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -47.)" (fBsyErr: File is busy (delete))" and in Console I see "com.apple.SecurityServer[16]: Sandbox denied authorizing right 'system.volume.internal.unmount' by client …" The "system.volume.internal.unmount entitlement" is not documented, and when I tried to add it to the list of entitlements, the app fails to start at all, saying not enough permissions. What's going on? Is there a way to eject/unmount disks in sandboxed mode? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
