Sandboxing and Code Collector Pro

Martin Pilkington:

Ever since the Mac App Store was released, sales through the M Cubed website have dropped off. Most of my sales now come through the App Store. This sounds good until you realise that in November March June Apple will be requiring all applications use the new sandboxing functionality in Lion. While Lighthouse Keeper was quite easy to fit in the sandbox, Code Collector Pro is impossible to.

So he’s going to stop selling it, open-source it, and focus on this other products. This is a bit surprising, since one would expect developers to look beyond the Mac App Store to find their tools.
