Mac App Store rejection

MacOSX and iOS
1

We just got a rejection on an update to an existing app from the (Mac) app store due to the use of

com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write TRUE

I think its something JUCE adds? Does anyone knows if there’s a way to get rid of that/what does it mean? We’re building with CMake.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks to me like that’s added if APP_SANDBOX_ENABLED is TRUE and APP_SANDBOX_FILE_ACCESS_HOME_RW has been set. If you’re using APP_SANDBOX_FILE_ACCESS_HOME_RW, you should pass the set of file paths that the app needs to access, rather than just TRUE or FALSE.

Brilliant, thank you.
Can you elaborate on the exact syntax to add those?

It’s documented in the CMake API file in the repo.

juce_add_gui_app(...
    APP_SANDBOX_ENABLED TRUE
    APP_SANDBOX_FILE_ACCESS_HOME_RW "/path/one" "/path/two"
    ...

Produces an entitlements.plist like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
	<true/>
	<key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write</key>
	<array>
		<string>/path/one</string>
		<string>/path/two</string>
	</array>
</dict>
</plist>
