It feels like a pretty serious bug to me. This entitlement is meant for safety, and it seems that the code underpinning it is broken. I feel I should file a bug report to prevent Other developers building apps with that entitlements set as false, not knowing this fails Other bugs in that code (a bug might hide others) I understand your point about binary compatibility, but at the very least a warning on the documentation page not to explicitly set the value as false would be useful. Ultimately, I'll rely on your judgement though, what do you think?

Hi Eskimo, thanks for your help. when I remove the line entirely (but keep the sandbox entitlement), it seems it is not making network connections. (I am not entirely sure because the network connections are only sporadic, but that seems to be the case). That is odd, is that entitlement broken?
