Sandbox and preference pane

Question

I've written an application that handle preferences stored in a group container. This preferences file is used by this application and by a daemon. I would like to convert the application into a preference pane located in the system preferences. But when I create the project in Xcode, there are no capabilities options in the target of the project.

The System Preferences is the main application but is there a way to make the preference pane run in a sandbox ?

Answer 1

See System preferences panel (install)

If you're sandboxing the App to be distributed in Mac App Store, you're out of luck as Preference Panes aren't allowed (Section 2.15 of the guideline)
