Mac OS Lion and Sandboxing

Question

I am developping a file manager app for Mac OS and I was wondering what can be the impact of the new sandboxing function of Mac OS.

Any experience?

Thanks

Answer 1

The Matthieu's answer is obsolete. With Lion, you have to refer to Code Signing And Application Sandboxing Guide .

Answer 2

Sandboxing your application is currently optional. You have to put code in your application to sandbox it by using the sandbox_init() function.
