Summary:

A sandboxed app will generate incomplete Quick Look previews of vCard (.vcf) files unless the app meets these two requirements:

1.  The app has the "com.apple.security.personal-information.addressbook" entitlement.
2.  The system prompts the user for access to the address book and the user accepts.

Since the only information that Quick Look displays is in the vCard file to which the app has access, I do not believe it should be necessary for the app to have access to the address book.

Steps to Reproduce:

I am attaching an Xcode project that demonstrates the issue.

1.  Compile and launch the app.
2.  Click on the Quick Look button in the app's window.  

Expected Results:

I expect to see all the information in the vCard, such as my name, title, company, email address, web site link, and Twitter handles.  I would see that information if the app was not sandboxed.

Actual Results:

Instead I see a preview of the vCard that displays my picture but is missing my contact information.

Regression:

Notes:

The vCard file in the sample is included as a resource file, "contactinfo.vcf".

The following is written to the console output when attempting to generate a Quick Look preview of the vCard file:
