OS X Sandbox breaks app

NerveStorm · Post by **NerveStorm** » Tue Dec 03, 2013 7:51 am

I have a small app that on mouseup uses an open/save dialog. It allows you to select a folder with images in it and it copies the files to a new size, and writes them to the same location, leaving the original images. The app works fine on half dozen systems for testing, but as soon as I add sandboxing to the app, it hangs as soon as I open the file selection dialog. I need to prep it for the Mac App Store, and I have used both App Wrapper and RB package Maker to sign and sandbox the app. I can sign it with out issue, but as soon as I add sandboxing it fails. I am giving it read/write access to open/save dialogs. I suspect it is an Entitlement issue, but can not seem to find the right access to allow. Anyone have an idea?

Hi,

Does it work on all version of Mac OS X except for (possibly) 10.8 and 10.9? It seems to be a LiveCode bug that needs to be fixed before you submit the app to the app store.

Kind regards,

Mark

Yes!
Thanks for the heads up Mark. Now I have to pray for a quick bug fix

Being open source, do you know if there's a working list of issues being addressed. That way I can get some idea of when it might be handled?

Hi,

Look at the bugs. That will tell you what is currently being worked on.

If you read the bug to which I posted a link, you'll see there's a workaround.

Kind regards,

Mark

Mark,

Thank you for your assistance, and sorry if it is obvious, but i'm new to live code. "Look at the bugs." where? in these forums? RunRev Lists? (there is someone there who has the same issue over the last few days though he is using 6.1.3 and I am using 6.5 both on OS X 10.9). Is there a bug list on GitHub? Again I apologize for my naiveté, still educating myself on the tool, and this issue is HUGE for me. So, where exactly is the bug posting with a workaround?

Hi Todd,

Did you see the link I posted earlier in this thread? It leads to one bug in a very big database. If you look at all those bugs and filter them by their status, you'll be able to see what is currently going on.

Thank you, I did not see the link. I have since read the thread and postings by Treavor, but didn't see any comment by you, or a workaround.

Hi,

It says you have to copy your file to another locations, e.g. temp.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi All,

If you need to create an installer package for the Mac AppStore and need it to have Sandbox entitlements then I've created this package maker and it's free for all Commercial Livecode developers.

Links to the latest version:

All the best
