Ddyracer Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Will it ever be updated to 2.0? It's not too big a deal for me but for someone who likes getting everything from the MAS it could be an issue. Edit: forgot the t in the title can a mod fix it?

Alfred is too tightly integrated into OS X to qualify for the App Store. The App Store requires that apps be 'sandboxed', contained in its own closed environment; Alfred would have to be severely crippled to conform the the Store's standards. Link to comment
Ddyracer Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Woah, thats oxymoron. Alfred is integrated yet not sandboxed. Edited March 28, 2013 by Ddyracer Ddyracer 1 Link to comment
Andrew Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Woah, thats oxymoron. Alfred is integrated yet not sandboxed. The Sandbox actually prohibits OS X integration by keeping all apps separate and independent, much like an iOS app. Alfred uses OS X's Gatekeeper / Developer ID technology which allows Alfred to keep you safe like a sandboxed app but also allows deep integration into OS X and other applications, something which is essential for Alfred to work. As such, Alfred is available exclusively from our website and not through the Mac App Store. Ddyracer 1 Link to comment
