The sandbox was announced at WWDC in June when Lion was already essentially done. So there wasn&rsquo;t really time to make any fixes based on developer feedback before it shipped. It wasn&rsquo;t until now that the sandbox requirement even appeared in writing on Apple&rsquo;s developer Web site. Now the deadline has changed to March, which means that either Apple plans to introduce major changes in a 0.0.1 update or that they don&rsquo;t plan to make many improvements before then. It&rsquo;s the opposite of other major transitions: Carbon, Intel, 64-bit, etc. where the plan was announced well ahead of time and Apple was clearly eating its own dog food for a cycle or two in advance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lex Friedman: The Many Tricks team&mdash;Peter Maurer and former Macworld senior editor Rob Griffiths&mdash;is also concerned. &ldquo;As of now, entitlements for the core features of many of our apps don&rsquo;t even exist, which means we cannot make them compliant at all,&rdquo; the developers said in an email interview. &ldquo;In fact, these entitlements may never exist, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"2024-06-11T22:26:28Z","apple_news_api_id":"d2659456-02f7-41ca-b757-9b696f2fc636","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2024-06-11T22:26:28Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A0mWUVgL3Qcq3V5tpby_GNg","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[30,155,53],"class_list":["post-3972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-mac","tag-moom","tag-sandboxing"],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3972"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20500,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3972\/revisions\/20500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
