GetHomeDirectory()

Ok, my app was just rejected because they said the default output was /Users/Guest/Desktop/. Which is set by GetHomeDirectory of course. On my system it returns /Users/jbaker/Desktop/ like it should. Why would it return guest? I'm assuming the tester person was signed on as a guest and didn't even use the option to change the directory as I did implement that in the app.

?????? WTF?
I'm also using this function and it works fine. Perhaps you should use the "Documents" our "user login" dir? (Yep it is stupid... but sometimes...)

Yeah, I think the person testing the app just doesn't know what they're doing. I don't understand how people like this get positions they clearly are not qualified for. I guess I'll just have to wait for a response.

Hi J.Baker,
had the same problem with my latest App. I am waiting for approval atm.
The tester mailed me: Don't prefill the destination folder.
Actually, they did tell me /Users/guest/Documents was not appropriate. D'oh!

You should sandbox your application, this will let you know if you
are using the correct directory for writing. This is also good practice
for the future.
I believe /Library/Container/Bundle Identifier/ is the proper place to write/read data for your program
if you are going to be distributing your apps to the app store.

Yeah, I had it pre filled but the user also had the option to change it. Which whoever was testing didn't even try.

Yeah I would do that but the app for app data but it doesn't export anything except for what is being converted for the user.

Hi J.Baker,
Apple approved my App after all, needing 5 versions ...
I only had to remove the prefilled Home-Directory. The String-Gadget is empty now. What a mess

Good luck
I am satisfied now, as I had 15 downloads in 3 days... Now for the 15 per day
