Unless I am severely mistaken, sand boxing is not designed to let you see details like that because whether or not the user has a password is of no concern to an app in the Mac App Store. You may be able to get what you need through the defaults system, particularly in regards to the screensaver... you will very likely need temporary entitlements though. > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com <javascript:;>) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/sevenbitstech%40gmail.com > > This email sent to sevenbitst...@gmail.com <javascript:;> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
