will it be possible to publish a screensaver on the upcoming mac app store?


We are working on a stylish screensaver that we would like to publish on the upcoming mac app store. Do you think it will be possible to release a screensaver? We reviewed the draft guidelines but still not sure about it.

Thanks, Renaud


Solution

  • No you can't. It requires the app to create files outside its area. There are plenty of restrictions in the App development guidelines which prohibit that. I think you need authorisation for that which is also a recipe for rejection.

    From June all apps has to be sandboxed which makes it even more impossible.
