File access in a sandboxed Mac app with swift

时光总嘲笑我的痴心妄想 提交于 2019-12-03 12:53:20

问题


I am working on an app for OS X 10.9 with swift, sandboxed.

The app needs access to a SQLite database file. I let the user choose/open a file with NSOpenPanel. I then save the file path with NSUserDefaults for later use.

I want this file to be opened automatically every time when the app is started again. I get the stored path from the NSUserDefault, but when I open the file with this path I get an error, saying I have no permission to access the file.

(it is working without sandboxing)

It looks like bookmark's are the solution to my problem.

Is there a good tutorial how to use bookmark's with swift for an osx app? Any other suggestion?

Here is my answer that I've just got working in Swift 3 with a little help from http://swiftrien.blogspot.com/2015/07/persisting-file-access-rights-between.html

import Foundation
import Cocoa

var bookmarks = [URL: Data]()

func bookmarkPath() -> String
{
    var url = app.applicationDocumentsDirectory
    url = url.appendingPathComponent("Bookmarks.dict")
    return url.path
}

func loadBookmarks()
{
    let path = bookmarkPath()
    bookmarks = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(withFile: path) as! [URL: Data]
    for bookmark in bookmarks
    {
        restoreBookmark(bookmark)
    }
}

func saveBookmarks()
{
    let path = bookmarkPath()
    NSKeyedArchiver.archiveRootObject(bookmarks, toFile: path)
}

func storeBookmark(url: URL)
{
    do
    {
        let data = try url.bookmarkData(options: NSURL.BookmarkCreationOptions.withSecurityScope, includingResourceValuesForKeys: nil, relativeTo: nil)
        bookmarks[url] = data
    }
    catch
    {
        Swift.print ("Error storing bookmarks")
    }

}

func restoreBookmark(_ bookmark: (key: URL, value: Data))
{
    let restoredUrl: URL?
    var isStale = false

    Swift.print ("Restoring \(bookmark.key)")
    do
    {
        restoredUrl = try URL.init(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmark.value, options: NSURL.BookmarkResolutionOptions.withSecurityScope, relativeTo: nil, bookmarkDataIsStale: &isStale)
    }
    catch
    {
        Swift.print ("Error restoring bookmarks")
        restoredUrl = nil
    }

    if let url = restoredUrl
    {
        if isStale
        {
            Swift.print ("URL is stale")
        }
        else
        {
            if !url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
            {
                Swift.print ("Couldn't access: \(url.path)")
            }
        }
    }

}

func allowFolder() -> URL?
{
    let openPanel = NSOpenPanel()
    openPanel.allowsMultipleSelection = false
    openPanel.canChooseDirectories = true
    openPanel.canCreateDirectories = true
    openPanel.canChooseFiles = false
    openPanel.begin
        { (result) -> Void in
            if result == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton
            {
                let url = openPanel.url
                storeBookmark(url: url!)
            }
    }
    return openPanel.url
}

Swift 4 (update):

import Foundation
import Cocoa

var bookmarks = [URL: Data]()

func fileExists(_ url: URL) -> Bool
{
    var isDir = ObjCBool(false)
    let exists = FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path, isDirectory: &isDir)

    return exists
}

func bookmarkURL() -> URL
{
    let urls = FileManager.default.urls(for: .applicationSupportDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
    let appSupportURL = urls[urls.count - 1]
    let url = appSupportURL.appendingPathComponent("Bookmarks.dict")
    return url
}

func loadBookmarks()
{

    let url = bookmarkURL()
    if fileExists(url)
    {
        do
        {
            let fileData = try Data(contentsOf: url)
            if let fileBookmarks = try NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveTopLevelObjectWithData(fileData) as! [URL: Data]?
            {
                bookmarks = fileBookmarks
                for bookmark in bookmarks
                {
                    restoreBookmark(bookmark)
                }
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            print ("Couldn't load bookmarks")
        }

    }
}

func saveBookmarks()
{
    let url = bookmarkURL()
    do
    {
        let data = try NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: bookmarks, requiringSecureCoding: false)
        try data.write(to: url)
    }
    catch
    {
        print("Couldn't save bookmarks")
    }
}    

func storeBookmark(url: URL)
{
    do
    {
        let data = try url.bookmarkData(options: NSURL.BookmarkCreationOptions.withSecurityScope, includingResourceValuesForKeys: nil, relativeTo: nil)
        bookmarks[url] = data
    }
    catch
    {
        Swift.print ("Error storing bookmarks")
    }

}

func restoreBookmark(_ bookmark: (key: URL, value: Data))
{
    let restoredUrl: URL?
    var isStale = false

    Swift.print ("Restoring \(bookmark.key)")
    do
    {
        restoredUrl = try URL.init(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmark.value, options: NSURL.BookmarkResolutionOptions.withSecurityScope, relativeTo: nil, bookmarkDataIsStale: &isStale)
    }
    catch
    {
        Swift.print ("Error restoring bookmarks")
        restoredUrl = nil
    }

    if let url = restoredUrl
    {
        if isStale
        {
            Swift.print ("URL is stale")
        }
        else
        {
            if !url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
            {
                Swift.print ("Couldn't access: \(url.path)")
            }
        }
    }

}

func allowFolder() -> URL?
{
    let openPanel = NSOpenPanel()
    openPanel.allowsMultipleSelection = false
    openPanel.canChooseDirectories = true
    openPanel.canCreateDirectories = true
    openPanel.canChooseFiles = false
    openPanel.begin
        { (result) -> Void in
            if result == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton
            {
                let url = openPanel.url
                storeBookmark(url: url!)
            }
    }
    return openPanel.url
}

To use this code you must first call NSOpenPanel so the user can select which folders to give you access to. The NSOpenPanel must be stored as a bookmark and saved to disk.

let url = allowFolder()
saveBookmarks()

When you restart the application you must call

loadBookmarks()

then your app will have the same level of access as it did when the user selected the folder. Hope this helps someone.




回答2:


security scoped bookmarks is exactly the way to go. good starting point is apple documentation on AppStore sandbox (which includes sample code) and class reference of NSFileManager.

you then will not store the path in user defaults but the binary data of the bookmark.
