Library container directories on macOS manage data and resources for applications. Container directories can be either system wide, or user-specific in multi-user environments.
Features of container directories:
- User-specific application data isolation using
~/Library/Containers/where directories are organised by the app bundle identifier. - Application specific container directories to prevent other apps from accessing or modifying data.
- Providing a place to store application-specific preference plist files.
- Providing a place to store application logs and diagnostic information.
Applications should store data in container directories to enhance security and privacy on macOS.
