<p>However, App Sandboxing breaks this API by limiting an app’s access to the filesystem. </p>
<p>Turns out, Apple comes up with a new ServiceManagement API for developers to enable launch at login functionality:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Applications can contain a helper application as a full application bundle, stored inside the main application bundle in the Contents/Library/LoginItems directory. Set either the LSUIElement or LSBackgroundOnly key in the Info.plist file of the helper application’s bundle.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Better still, <a href="http://www.alexzielenski.com/">Alex Zielenski</a> has created an excellent library for just that. <a href="https://github.com/alexzielenski/StartAtLoginController">Github repo.</a>

<p>The fix is to use an alternative Markdown engine. To do this, run “gem install kramdown” and then modify the corresponding line in _config.yml:</p>
<p>“markdown: rdiscount” -> “markdown: kramdown”</p>
