Hi,
I want my app to be able to run /usr/bin/ibtool.
However when my app is sandboxed, it won't allow me to run it.
Does anyone know what entitlement I need to give my app so that I can run ibtool - from within my app?
Thanks!
Chris

xcrun: error: cannot be used within an App Sandbox.
Or modern systems
/usr/bin/ibtool
is a trampoline that uses
xcrun
to find your preferred version of Xcode (the one selected via
xcode-select) and launch the
ibtool
from there.
xcrun
doesn’t like running in the sandbox, and so you get this error.
The solution is to ask your user to select their preferred version of Xcode and then run
ibtool
from within that. You may run into other problems down the pike, but this will be enough to
ibtool
actually launching.

With this code:
let task:NSTask = NSTask()
task.launchPath = "/usr/bin/ibtool"
task.arguments = ["--compile", modifiedPath, modifiedPath]
let pipe = NSPipe()
task.standardOutput = pipe
task.launch()
let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
let output = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

Hi there,
I am really new to this whole thing, and don't exactly know what I am doing honestly. How do I go about setting a prefered version of Xcode? I am trying to run a python script within a 3rd party IDE and continue to get the error "xcrun: error: cannot be used within an App Sandbox.". It is a Python3 script so I thought by installing Python3 it would do it but it doesn't.
Would you mind helping me out please? Thanks 🙂

Code Block Couldn't posix_spawn: error 13
You can't run that tool in the sandbox. Sorry.Hello, I am trying to run "xcrun simctl ..." commands in a App Sandboxed app but I am getting errors like: I let the user select the Xcode.app path but I really don't know what to do after that.
It is virtually always a bad idea to make plans based on what you see some other apps are doing, or appear to do. Maybe they are doing something else. Maybe they were grandfathered in. Maybe they know people at Apple and got one of those golden temporary entitlements.I am pretty sure it's possible. I have some apps downloaded from the App Store that do some things that are available only with that command.
That message is coming from xcrun, not simctl. xcrun has a general guard against it being run from within the App Sandbox. You can bypass that by running the target tool directly from Xcode.When I run xcrun simctl --help, I get the following:
xcrun: error: cannot be used within an App Sandbox.
That sounds pretty definitive to me.
Code Block do { switch result { case.success(let urls): guard let url = urls.first else { return } let bookmarkData = try url.bookmarkData(options: .withSecurityScope, includingResourceValuesForKeys: nil, relativeTo: nil) var isState = false let newURL = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmarkData, options: .withSecurityScope, relativeTo: nil, bookmarkDataIsStale: & isState) _ = newURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() getDeviceList( in: newURL) case.failure(let error): print("There was a problem selecting the file - \(error)") } } catch { print("Unable to read file contents") print(error.localizedDescription) }
Code Block func getDeviceList(in xcodeURL: URL) { let task = Process() task.launchPath = xcodeURL.path task.arguments = [ "xcrun simctl list devices" ] let pipe = Pipe() task.standardOutput = pipe task.launch() let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile() if let string = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) { print(string) } }
caught non-fatal NSInternalInconsistencyException 'Couldn't posix_spawn: error 13'
No, sorry. Earlier I wrote “I’d be quite concerned about the compatibility risks associated with running [simctl] from within the App Sandbox” and I’m not going to help you go down a path that may eventually run off the end of a cliff.Would you please provide me some more information on how to solve the
issue?
@jaespeaks, I'm running into the same issue with python3
, which is more concerning now that Monterey displays a warning for apps that use Python 2.7.

If your app relies on Python my advice is that you bundle a copy of Python in the app. This is based on the Scripting Language Runtimes note in the macOS Catalina 10.15 Release Notes.
