Re: music.read-only sandbox entitlement doesn't seem to work
I've figured out what is going on (I think). As long as your iTunes library is installed in this path: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/, the music entitlement works. It is path specific! This makes com.apple.security.assets.music.* only sligtly better than com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.* in that the music entitlement is not temporary. However The user can break it by going into iTunes preferences and moving their media files. I haven't tested it but I assume this will brake the movies entitlement as well. - Michael On Jan 15, 2012, at 2:55 PM, Michael Crawford wrote: I tried replacing my Core Audio code for reading and decoding the music files with calls to the AV Foundation framework.
