In addition to what Stéphane said, there's still no Mac App Store-compatible way for an app to bind to low-numbered ports. The obvious approach, binding directly to the port, won't work because OS X still requires root for binding to low-numbered ports (despite the fact that we lifted that restriction on iOS years ago). Other approaches, like using a launchd daemon privileged helper tool, are not compatible with the Mac App Store sandboxing requirements.
I'm sorry I don't have better news.
