I was thinking about modifying Script Timer for the app store, but there is no point in doing so if the scheduling engine won't work because of sandboxing. If the scheduling engine couldn't access other applications the usefulness of the program would be decimated.
Hello Don,
As far as I understand the current implementation of sandboxing wrt AppleEvents:
a sandboxed application may send AppleEvents to itself without restrictions
a sandboxed application may respond to any AppleEvent without restriction
The problem occurs when a sandboxed application wants to send AppleEvents to other applications, in which case entitlements are required.
So, the first question is to know whether your background engine makes use of AppleEvents targeted to other applications, or if it relies on some other kind of IPC.
