You can also add them directly to a target’s. In cases where there are read-only and read/write entitlement key pairs, use of either key in the pair is mutually exclusive with the other.Īdd these keys by using the Summary tab of the Xcode target editor. The default value for each key is false, so you can (and generally should) leave out the entitlement entirely rather than specifying a false value. entitlements file directly in a text editor, the corresponding Boolean values to use are and. The value to use for any of these keys is a Boolean YES or NO, with the default value in each case being NO. If App Sandbox is not enabled, the other keys in this section are meaningless. The first key enables App Sandbox the others configure the sandbox. This section describes the keys you can use to confer capabilities to a sandboxed app in macOS.

Restore capabilities to the sandboxed target, as needed, by configuring App Sandbox entitlementsĪt runtime, if a target requires a capability or a system resource for which the target isn’t entitled, the sandbox daemon ( sandboxd) logs a violation message to the console.įor more information about App Sandbox, read App Sandbox Design Guide.

You can think of using App Sandbox entitlements as a two-step process: The values are then incorporated into the target’s code signature when you build the project. These settings, in turn, add Boolean values to entitlement keys in the target’s. In your macOS Xcode project, configure fine-grained security permissions by enabling settings in the Summary tab of the target editor. Note: This chapter describes property list keys specific to the macOS implementation of App Sandbox.
