Sep 20, 2012 06:52 AM. From Sasmito Adibowo, sasmito.adibowo@gmail.com. As per previous clarification: Sep 10, 2012 09:19 PM. From Sasmito Adibowo, sasmito.adibowo@gmail.com. News Anchor is able to generate audio podcast files and writes them into the user's Music folder. This is activated when the user checks the "generate podcast" box in a channel's settings. However this capability is currently hindered by QTMovie bug rdar://10644859 which also relates to the sandbox. Once rdar://10644859 is fixed, News Anchor will generate audio files and place them into the user's music folder. ref: http://openradar.appspot.com/10644859

NewsAnchor.app/Contents/MacOS/GeneratePodcast Common reasons for this violation include: * Setting "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" or any other sandboxing entitlement to "False" instead of "True". If an app does not use an entitlement, it should be removed. * Setting a sandboxing entitlement to "Yes" instead of "True". * Not sandboxing all Mach-O executables. For an app to properly implement sandboxing, all Mach-O executables must have "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" set to "True". * Including "com.apple.security.inherit" without also including "com.apple.security.app-sandbox". * Starting a file path with anything other than "/". All paths must start with "/". * Setting a string-based or array-based entitlement to a boolean value. For example, setting "com.apple.security.temporaryexception.apple-events" to "True" instead of a non-empty string or array of non-empty strings of the targeted apps. * Requesting "read-write" access to a read-only system location such as "/Library/Desktop Pictures/". Apps must be sandboxed as of June 1, 2012. New apps that are not sandboxed will be rejected. Updates to non-sandboxed apps may be submitted if they only addresses bug fixes and new OS X feature adoption provided that your app was on the Mac App Store prior to June 1st. See App Sandboxing for links to essential video and documentation to learn how to sandbox your application. Should you need code-level assistance implementing sandboxing, contact Apple Developer Technical Support.
