Comment on How to enable AppleScript between Parent and Child applications within sandbox for Mac App Store?
`         let process = Process()         let url = Bundle.main.bundleURL.path + "/Contents/MacOS/Child.app/Contents/MacOS/Child"         process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath:url)         process.terminationHandler = { (process) in            print("\ndidFinish: (!process.isRunning)")         }         do {           try process.run()         } catch let error as NSError {             NSLog("Failed to execute ", error)         } `

I'm no expert but I thought the additions to <key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key> explicitly call out applescript targets is what the AppStore requires. As for why am I using AS at all? Well I could revisit it but it works great and this code has been distributed to customers with Developer ID-signed installers. I'm tasked with getting this on the App Store and I'm trying to touch as little code as possible.

Absolutely. The parent app is a persistent app that presents an icon and menu in the toolbar and is doing some tasks in the background. It's responsible for handling user activation and sign out with a server. The child process is a GUI that is started from the toolbar and presents the user with a control panel of sorts. The child app needs to know things that only the Parent app knows. So I'm achieving that right now with a simple AppleScript interface for me to query the parent. It works great. I hate that I might have to build an entire XPC service and framework for the few comms I need to support. My 1 day of just perusing XPC docs seems like it's more for doing one-off tasks than IPC but I haven't spent a lot of time yet. The daily tasks of the job have me busy.

Comment on Code signature validation failed fatally
I came here from google trying to resolve a similar issue but I don't have a file called embedded.provisionprofile anywhere in my .app folder. I also don't see it in other apps I've installed from the App Store. Did something change in the last year since this post was made where these aren't distributed any longer? Is there an equivalent way today for me to compare my entitlements against the prov profile?
