Mac App Rejection - Temporary Exception Entitlement Key for Safari

Let's consider an app doing the following steps using AppleScript, in order to auto-login to some website: 1- Open "Safari" and navigate to website 2- Fill the username and password fields with JavaScript do JavaScript " document.getElementById('password_input').value = 'userPassword' " 3- Submit form using JavaScript --- do JavaScript " document.forms['login_form'].submit() " For a sandboxed Mac app, com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events entitlement key must be added for "Safari", in order to execute AppleScript procedure above. <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.apple-events</key> <array> <string>com.apple.safari</string> </array> Everything works great this way, without any problem. Here is my question: Does the app get rejected because of this temporary exception usage for Safari? applescript  mac-app-store  entitlements  appstore-sandbox  macapplication share | improve this question edited Feb 7 '13 at 8:57 asked  Oct 12 '12 at 12:02 erkanyildiz 3,275 3 20 44

	Thanks for the link. But I don't think it's the same scenario. So just an up-vote. –   erkanyildiz  Oct 12 '12 at 15:37 1   This link might be of interest. In particular the paragraph about the temporary exception :hamishrickerby.com/page/2 –   Yahel  Oct 12 '12 at 16:57 add a comment

In entitlements section of iTunesConnect, I briefly explained why I used this entitlement key, and my app got approved without any problem. So I can say that temporary exception usage for Safari is NOT a reject reason. share | improve this answer answered  Dec 16 '12 at 16:44 erkanyildiz 3,275 3 20 44
