votes

I have an Application for the Mac that I want to publish on in the app store. I order to get it published I need to put in a sandbox. The app access Sqlite files outside the sandbox which the user selects from a openpanel. The App works fine when is performs a select but it fails on inserts and updates. I can remember reading something about some function you could call that could give you write access to files outside the sandbox but for the life I can remember what is was Can anyone enlighten me ?

Add "com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope" with boolean value YES in entitlement file of your project. Add follow "With Sandboxing" section of this link --
