get the filesoutside the application sandbox

In OSX, I want to get the filesoutside the application sandbox in the application. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, there is a way:


First of all, your app need the files.user-selected.... entitelement.

Keep in mind, that there always has to be a fileopen dialog to gain the rights to a specific file outside your app sandbox.


Second: This rights only last for a session. If the user closes your app, the rights are lost, unless you create and store a security-scoped -bookmark.


Take a look here:
