A similar form of this question has been asked a few times on this forum, but the answers varied a lot, and things have changed since previous posts.*
My application is inside the 'App Sandbox', I want to communicate with another application which is not inside the sandbox at all.
The non-sandboxed application has an IPC file which is present in the following location:
/var/folders/0x/h5vjdg1s1gb3s__gfr5mmx040000gn/T/discord-ipc-0
cbyrne@Conors-Air in ~
❯ echo $TMPDIR
/var/folders/0x/h5vjdg1s1gb3s__gfr5mmx040000gn/T/
My application can't see that file, and when I try to give it permission to see that file by using the NSOpenPanel dialog, swift-nio is unable to establish a connection to the socket:
connect(descriptor:addr:size:): Operation not permitted (errno: 1)
However, if I let my app out of the 'App Sandbox':
<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
<false/>
It works fine, and my app is able to communicate with the non-sandboxed app.
So, can sandboxed apps not communicate with other non-sandboxed apps via IPC at all?
