Submit CloudyTabs to the Mac App Store #3

SSIA. Love the app but I prefer to keep everything to the MAS where possible. Not a deal breaker, just nice to have.

I totally agree – I'd love to be able to submit this to the Mac App Store, but I can't see Apple ever approving it with the MAS' current review criteria. The way CloudyTabs works is by reading the com.apple.Safari.plist located at ~/Library/SyncedPreferences/, which would fall outside of a traditional App's Sandbox. However, I may be able to make use of a temporary entitlement which I'll definitely look into.

If it turns out that I can't get it accepted into the App Store I still plan to sign the app with a Developer ID and put it up on it's own website (when I find enough spare time) which will be significantly better than directing people to the project's GitHub page.

Cheers!
