Document-scope, Security scoped bookmarks for file packages
appstore-sandbox, cocoa, macos, sandbox
Solution
I asked about this elsewhere and was told:
...we didn't implement support for it because it's complicated and there have been very few requests for it.
So that's that, you can't create this kind of bookmark because it's not implemented. I also filed a bug with Apple but the response just quoted the docs at me (i.e. telling me stuff I already knew and had mentioned in my report) before closing it. So, as of now and probably for the foreseeable future, this is not possible.
Problem
I'm trying to create document-scope security scoped bookmarks for file packages. That is, directories where `NSURLIsPackageKey` is `YES`. I know you're not normally supposed to be able to create document-scope bookmarks to directories, but I would have expected packages to be exempt from that (after all, I get access to them using an `NSOpenPanel` which isn't allowed to select directories, but there's no problem there). I've got my entitlements set up with `com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.document-scope` = `true`, and I'm doing a basic bookmark creation call with a file URL that I've just received from an `NSOpenPanel` (so I have access): ``` NSError *bookmarkError = nil; NSData *bookmark = [fileURL bookmarkDataWithOptions:NSURLBookmarkCreationWithSecurityScope includingResourceValuesForKeys:nil relativeToURL:[self fileURL] error:&bookmarkError]; ``` After this call though, both `bookmark` and `bookmarkError` are `nil`. Do I just need to give up on this and create app-scope bookmarks, even though I have a document-based app? That seems inappropriate, but I don't see another workaround.
