Rumor deemed false, apps using global hotkeys to remain in mac appstore - Juice Filling Machine

Contrary to an early Thursday report that claimed Apple would bebanning apps that use global hotkeys from the Mac App Store, newinformation asserts that no such change will be implemented. A post from blog TUAW caused quite the stir Thursday morning after reporting Apple "maybe end-of-life-ing all those great little hotkey shortcuts" seen inapps distributed through the company's Mac App Store starting inJune, but counter-claims from Macworld say that this is not the case. In the allegedly debunked report, TUAW's source noted that Apple would disallow hotkey-enabled apps in aneffort to make OS X a more secure and consumer-friendly operatingsystem. As part of the rumored change, Apple would purportedly haverejected all Mac App Store that used hotkey shortcuts starting June1, after which date existing "hotkey apps" would only be allowedbug fix updates.

The report said that only apps using system-widehotkeys would be subject to denial while programs using in-apphotkeys would remain unaffected. "While there's no indication Apple intends to prevent the sale ofapps with [systemwide] hotkey functionality outside the App Store,it is clear Apple is working to simplify the user experience withinthe Mac App Store, and that means "power user" utilities are atrisk," writes TUAW's Erica Sadun. The June 1 date is a crucial element to the story as this is whenApple intends to initiate new sandboxing elements for appsdistributed through its Mac App Store. However, citing its ownsources, Macworld said that, while the sandboxing will indeed occur, apps making useof hotkeys will not be rejected. "Macworld can confirm that no such hotkey ban is coming to the MacApp Store. Juice Filling Machine

In fact, Apple offers developers several public APIsthat make simple work of creating global keyboard shortcuts, andthose APIs aren going away," Lex Friedman writes. Friedman notes that global hotkey apps will be included in the MacApp Store as long as developers use Apple's APIs. There arenon-sanctioned APIs and backend workarounds that can be used topower global hotkeys, though Apple would no doubt block them fromthe App Store as their keylogging functionality can to be used forexploitative purposes. "Thus, so long as developers use Apple officially supported APIsto register systemwide global hotkeys, their apps will remaineligible for inclusion in the Mac App Store," writes Friedman. "Butdevelopers and their users can rest easy hat functionality isn going anywhere, and the Mac App Store won reject apps thatimplement it properly.". Glass Bottle Filling Machine
