I have an app which runs using sandboxing. How can I run it without sandboxing? Suppose I can't just recompile the app with sandboxing off.
The macOS operating system and its file system operate differently and are structured differently. The idea is similar, though. Every application is given a sandbox, a directory it can use to store data in.
Overview. The App Sandbox is an access control technology that macOS provides and enforces at the kernel level. The sandbox's primary function is to contain damage to the system and the user's data if the user executes a compromised app.
iOS and iPadOS help ensure runtime security by using a “sandbox,” declared entitlements, and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).
This works:
$ ditto MySandboxedApp.app MySandboxedApp.backup.app
$ codesign -f -s- MySandboxedApp.app
Note the extra minus in "-s-".
