Apple's sandboxing doesn't allow you to sandbox the a11y application,
but applications still have a11y support[1]. That's fine, things like
the screen reader, zoom, etc. are already considered part of the system
in GNOME.

[1]: "With App Sandbox, you can and should enable your app for
accessibility, as described in Accessibility Overview for OS X. However,
you cannot sandbox an assistive app such as a screen reader, and you
cannot sandbox an app that controls another app."
