Apparently, I am not authorized to view any information on sandboxing besides "[a]s of March 1, 2012 all apps submitted to the Mac App Store must implement sandboxing" and that it "is a great way to protect systems and users by limiting the resources apps can access and making it more difficult for malicious software to compromise users' systems."

Apple's developer relations with anyone who doesn't want to fork over $100 just to read the docs are really poor.




http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Genera... provides pretty much everything on sandboxing from a non-architectural, developer point of view.


It's free to register as an Apple developer and your ID will then work:

http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/

Though to your point, I'm not sure why Apple requires someone to login just to read the docs.


No it isn't. I'm an iOS dev but not Mac and I can't read the docs. You have to pay to read the docs and find out what sand boxing entails. But I suppose if you're not distributing through the App Store why would you even care?


You're right. I should have verified that before posting.


I'm not a registered dev, and opening the link works fine.
