However, there is a security issue, in the eyes of some, that writing

Another issue would be if a user was rendering content that they
didn't want other users (such as those logged via SSH) to see.

What are the options/suggestions for tmp file writing that is secure
but also follows Apple's guidelines? What are other folks doing?

As far as I know, mkstemp() is what you're supposed to use (man 3 mkstemp). You can take the returned FD and wrap it in an NSFileHandle for convenience. _______________________________________________
