Are macOS app in the app store ensured to have stricter sandboxing? That would be reason enough.
- bouke 1y agoWhy is it that only App Store apps are sandboxed? I would like to sandbox most of the apps I’m running. No app needs a blanket slate to access my files. Sure there’s some of the permissions, but they aren’t granular enough.
- comex 1y agoThey can be, but the app itself has to opt in. You can see whether an app is sandboxed in Activity Monitor (it’s a hidden-by-default column named Sandbox).
