Summary:

Application sandboxing causes problems with AddressBook.framework even when com.apple.security.personal-information.addressbook entitlement is enabled. Read-only mode works fine but when performing update the following errors are logget to console repeatedly:

4/24/12 12:34:13.877 PM sandboxd: ([5846]) ABSandboxTest(5846) deny file-read-data /Users/dev/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist.lockfile
4/24/12 12:34:13.878 PM sandboxd: ([5848]) AddressBookSync(5848) deny mach-lookup com.apple.syncservices.SyncServer
4/24/12 12:34:13.883 PM sandboxd: ([5846]) ABSandboxTest(5846) deny file-write-create /Users/dev/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist.sb-344ba5c6-QamLum

Another side effect is that application appears stuck for second or often more when saving updates to Address Book.

Steps to Reproduce:

Run the following code in a sandboxed Cocoa application with com.apple.security.personal-information.addressbook entitlement:

  ABAddressBook *ab = [ABAddressBook sharedAddressBook];
  (void)[[ABPerson alloc] initWithAddressBook:ab];
  [ab save];

Expected Results:

  This code is executed instantly, there are no sandboxing errors in console.

Actual Results:

  The code takes ~0.7 seconds when first executed, and causes a bunch of sandboxing errors in console as illustrated above.
