Description
Hi folks,
As SourceKitten is using SourceKit, is it possible to create the app that is sandboxed and can still use SourceKitten?
I mean the app that can be distributed through the Mac App Store.
Is there any special entitlement that could be set to allow the app interacting with the SourceKit?
Or maybe could it be enabled by the user (eg granting access to some directory through NSPanel)?

Research direction
The issue names SourceKitten, SourceKit, Mac App Store sandboxing, entitlements, and NSPanel but no source files or tests. Start by investigating SourceKitten's SourceKit interaction and the relevant sandbox and App Store rules. Done means establishing whether sandboxed distribution is supported and documenting any required entitlement or user-grant flow.
