Sandboxing and "helper apps"

 In the past you could include a full UNIX application inside a Mac application bundle. For example, in the directory

	MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS

could be the Cocoa executable "MyApp" and the UNIX executable "my_helper_app".

In addition to running this helper app from the Cocoa app, this UNIX app could be launched by the command line from a Terminal application

	$ /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/my_helper_app -i /Users/Todd/some_file

or via a launchd configuration to be run in the background when I log in.


Is this functionality no longer allowed with Sandboxing?


Thanks,

Todd
