Apple’s Sandboxing Deadline Has Arrived For Mac App Store Developers | Cult of Mac: "It’s June 1st, and that means Apple’s deadline for when Mac developers need to have their apps sandboxed has come to pass. After months and months of extending the deadline to iron out technical details, all apps submitted to the Mac App Store must now obey Apple’s sandboxing requirements. All existing Mac App Store apps cannot be updated until they meet the guidelines."

Unfortunately, some of this information is just plain wrong. Apps already in the Mac App Store do not have to be sandboxed and bug fixes for them can be submitted to the store.

The sandboxing deadline applies to new application submissions.
