- outworlder 11y agoOh please. Where did you take your 1% from? If your application is not a game, or it does not fit the model of "here be a document, type on it", chances are the sandbox won't allow it. Actually, even if you do follow that model: see BBEdit and Coda. What about Postbox? iStatsMenu? Heck, even Alfred. Or Parallels, Microsoft Office, the Adobe suite? These cannot be sandboxed. Frankly, I could come up with more applications if I did some research, but why bother. Nearly everything that's interesting that's not a game will be crippled or just unavailable. And, for games, Steam is better in every way. EDIT: By "cannot be sandboxed", I mean that they cannot be sandboxed under Apple's current draconian sandboxing rules.
