![]() We continue to recommend using the direct version from which receives updates much faster (review delays on MAS are running at several weeks) and is also able to support some features which MAS does not allow.Īpple has now stopped accepting updates to SourceTree in the Mac App Store, as we expected, although a little later than we thought. We will continue to submit them as a convenience for our users who still wish to use the Mac App Store version, for as long as they continue to be approved, but must warn you that this situation may not continue indefinitely – we’re basically at Apple’s mercy here. Given the official line from Apple that only bugfix releases will be allowed on the Mac App Store without sandboxing, we cannot guarantee that further updates will be accepted. We decided to speculatively submit further 1.5 updates to the Mac App Store anyway, and so far, reviewers have allowed the updates to be approved. ![]() Therefore our position has not materially changed since the original decision: SourceTree 1.5 onwards will only be distributed via . We advise all users on the Mac App Store to migrate to the direct download version, either now or when 1.5 is released, so you can benefit from the awesome new stuff we have in store for you. We also have to consider the fact that the main alternatives to SourceTree are not distributed on the Mac App Store and are therefore not constrained by these rules. While we could work around them, it would downgrade the user experience, which has always been a red line for us. Going forward with future releases, however, the changes that have been made to the sandbox still do not quite address all of the issues we have with it. We even had an expedited bug fix approved after the 1st June deadline, which was very useful. ![]() We have subsequently been able to publish SourceTree 1.4 to the App Store. Apple decided that they would still allow bugfix updates to non-sandboxed apps that were already available in the Mac App Store prior to 1st JuneĪll these moves were welcome, and we thank Apple for making them.Apple made some changes to OS X to allow more behaviours to be supported within the sandbox. ![]()
