If the app contains security holes (or any framework that it's using), a hacker can potentially exploit those weaknesses and use the app to take control of the Mac that it is running on.īy limiting access to resources on a per-application basis, a sandboxed app provides a line of defense against theft, corruption or malicious intent on the part of an application running on the user's machine. The App Sandbox provides strong defense against damage that can be caused by a malicious application being run on a Mac by limiting the access that an application has to system resources.Ī non-sandboxed application has the full rights of the user that is running the app and can access or do anything that the user can. You may want to take a look at the Exposing C# classes / methods to Objective-C section of the Xamarin.Mac Internals document as well, it explains the Register and Export attributes used to wire up your C# classes to Objective-C objects and UI elements. It is highly suggested that you work through the Hello, Mac article first, specifically the Introduction to Xcode and Interface Builder and Outlets and Actions sections, as it covers key concepts and techniques that we'll be using in this article. In this article, we'll cover the basics of working with sandboxing in a Xamarin.Mac application and all of the elements that go into sandboxing: container directories, entitlements, user-determined permissions, privilege separation, and kernel enforcement. NET in a Xamarin.Mac application, you have the same ability to sandbox an application as you do when working with Objective-C or Swift. It covers all of the elements that go into sandboxing, such as container directories, entitlements, user-determined permissions, privilege separation, and kernel enforcement.
This article covers sandboxing a Xamarin.Mac application for release on the App Store.
