App Sandbox information

macOS

If you use App Sandbox entitlements, Apple needs information on each temporary exception entitlement included in the app. You add a temporary exception entitlement by editing the .entitlements property list file in the Xcode project. For more information, visit App Sandbox Design Guide.

Property

Description

Entitlement Key

The entitlement key that corresponds to a temporary exception entitlement implemented in the app.

Usage Information

Information describing how to assess the entitlement and a description of the values in an array value used by the entitlement. If the entitlement works around a missing App Sandbox feature, file a bug report describing the exception using Feedback Assistant and include the bug ID in the usage information.

The description should include:

  • How the entitlement can be assessed

  • Why the entitlement is needed by the app

  • What functionality this entitlement enables

  • If the entitlement uses an array value, provide information on each value in the array

  • If the entitlement works around a missing App Sandbox feature, the ID of the bug you filed describing the exception
