Surprisingly, the Mac App Store will get rejected if you put stuff in the
users home/Preferences folder.
I believe the difference there is installation vs. runtime.
The OS X HIG clearly notes that files in the Preferences folder is for
user-generated data. As such, your app should never need to install
anything there, but of course will need to write there at runtime when
the user makes changes in your app's Preferences window.
If you need to install data for your app in a user-writable folder, the
HIG suggests using the Application Data folder for that.
In short, the Preferences folder is the same as it's always been, with
the Application Support folder also available for non-user-generated
data. AFAIK, the only difference now is that Apple is finally enforcing
the guidelines they've been publishing for the last decade.
