Basic Information

Start Sandbox

Processes are not born sandboxed on macOS: unlike iOS, where the sandbox is applied by the kernel before the first instruction of a program executes, on macOS a process must elect to place itself into the sandbox.

Processes are automatically Sandboxed from userland when they start if they have the entitlement: com.apple.security.app-sandbox. For a detailed explanation of this process check:
