After being uploaded i receive mail from Apple.

Dear developer,

We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "Monosnap". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:

App sandbox not enabled - The following executables must include the "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" entitlement with a Boolean value of true in the entitlements property list. Refer to the App Sandbox page for more information on sandboxing your app.

Monosnap.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/MonosnapLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/MonosnapLauncher Once these issues have been corrected, go to the Version Details page and click "Ready to Upload Binary." Continue through the submission process until the app status is "Waiting for Upload." You can then deliver the corrected binary.

Regards,

The App Store team

At the project level all items are sandboxed: 1 - http://take.ms/9S9BJ 2 - http://take.ms/nFNY9

Here the result of checking with terminal .entitlement file has correct info codesign from terminal gives me this : http://take.ms/j4o2vh

How can i enable sandbox to helperApp?

Answer 1

In Xcode 5, what you only need to do is turning "App Sandbox" on in Capabilities tab for your project target. It'll generate a file named project_name.entitlements for you automatically.

This works for me, and it changed to "Waiting for Review" state now. ;)
