Hi Matthias,
The quote from Apple was in reference to the Library/Preferences folder in
the User directory, not the one in the root. To make it even more
abundantly clear this is what was meant, this page specifically references

Of course asking end users to change permissions on folders is pretty much a
non-starter.

Hi Sean,

folder. And therefore the user should have write access to it.
As i wrote. On a new Mojave installation on a VM (i still have 10.13.6 here) i

Hi Matthias,
This is, without any doubt, a permissions issue and definitely nothing to
do with sandboxing. You need to unlock the folder you are saving to. The

Sounds like more onerous sandboxing. I see why it's necessary, but I have a
simpler and more elegant solution: Have an international moratorium on all
malicious hackers where the penalty is a life sentence on the frozen moon Rura
Penthe. By that I mean hard labor. Until we get tough, and I mean
We make and sell a couple of research applications developed in
LiveCode. Increasingly, on both OSX and Windows, we are running into to
customers who's permissions prevent out app from writing to locations

Hi.
Today i was informed by a customer that my app BRx Converter is not able to
write data to the preference folder ~/library/preferences.
The app normally writes some registration info after successful registration to
that folder. After that the app is switched from demo to full mode.
