Persistent Data with Standalone App OS X 10.8 Max 6
Oct 25 2012 | 12:59 am
Hi all, this might seem like kind of a vague question. I've been told by some users that our app no longer seems to be reading and writing a text file that we were writing to /Library/Application Support/ and it's affecting usability. But I'm not on 10.8. I'm just wondering if this is a standalone app issue? A Security issue to do with 10.8? Or something else? Sorry this isn't clearer, but I'm not entirely sure what the problem is since I can't see what they are seeing. Has anyone else experienced an issue like this or is 10.8 not actually the problem?

However, you might want to consider using ~/Library/Application Support/* in the user folder.I have a vague recollection that the App Store had more restrictive guidelines about where an app may or may not write.Sorry not to have more detail off the top of my head.
