Unable to terminate other apps when sandbox

I developed an app that terminates other apps, It works perfectly when it's not sandboxed.

NSWorkspace.shared.runningApplication.forceTerminate()

Issue: When the app is sandbox I cannot terminate other apps.

Question: How can allow my app to have the capability to terminate other apps when sandbox?

Solution

  • When the app is sandbox I cannot terminate other apps.

    Correct. That is the essence of the sandbox: your application is isolated from other applications, and cannot interact with them outside of certain specific channels.

    You can't. (At least, not in the general case.)
