Just keep your MAS build on disk somewhere, launch the direct build, and choose Purchase > Unlock Coda. I’ll add this to our FAQ.

Either way, keep making great software guys!!! :o D

The trouble with the sandboxing APIs is that Apple designed them for “document-based” applications. They envisioned an application like Pages, where the user opens a document, edits it, and then closes it. The API is very poorly designed for apps that want to do complex things with many different files, like Coda, a GIT client or many “utility” applications such as disk tools or backup apps.

Apple needs to modify the sandboxing APIs to better support apps that are not strictly document-based.

Wooster –

A very wise decision.

What might be the problems encountered if you were developing a new app from scratch with Sandboxing? Would there be easier ways to design it were sandboxing not being implemented on an existing app?
