App Review declined 0.4.2 (3384) under guideline 2.4.5(i): the temporary
com.apple.security.temporary-exception.mach-lookup.global-name =
com.apple.audioanalyticsd exception "is not appropriate and will not be
granted." It had been added on the theory that CoreHaptics controller
rumble (RumbleRenderer / MenuHaptics) hard-crashes under the App Sandbox
without it, since the framework reaches the audio-analytics daemon over
Mach and the sandbox denies that global-name lookup.
Tested the theory directly on macOS with a real Xbox pad: a
CHHapticEngine start + full-intensity rumble in a genuinely enforced
sandbox (NSHomeDirectory redirected into the app container) with no
exception on the codesigned binary runs fine — no crash — even with a
live AVAudioEngine stream running concurrently. CoreHaptics tolerates
the denied lookup; the exception was never load-bearing.
So just remove it: CoreHaptics session rumble and menu haptics keep
working on macOS unchanged (no source change needed). DualSense stays on
its raw-HID path — a genuine Sony-motor gap — which needs no exception
either.
Resubmit requires a new build number and clearing the App Store Connect
App Sandbox entitlement-usage justification for this exception.
