@Catfish_Man Any idea why CFPreferencesSetAppValue with some other app's bundle ID would not be observable with `defaults read`?

@eridius use this dtrace script to take a look. Pass the pid of the cfprefsd instance for your user. http://pastebin.com/QRbJQs5M

@catfish_man Is there any way for me to read from/write to the target app's sandbox? -
@eridius only via SPI currently, sorry - View other replies

@catfish_man Can I trust that `defaults` always punches through the sandbox? I guess I'm going to have to use NSTask to talk to that. -
@eridius defaults(1) uses heuristics to determine where to write to. It will prefer container prefs if the container name matches the domain -
@catfish_man Ok, since it uses the container now, I trust it will continue to work. Thanks for your help!

@catfish_man That script is awesome. Looks like the target app is sandboxed, `defaults read` uses sandbox, CFPrefs doesn't. -
@catfish_man Thanks, I'll give that a shot
