CocoaPods can run in the App Sandbox. We've implemented this mainly to make CocoaPods safer to use for developers.
When downloading and running scripts from the web from federated sources you never know what you're going to execute. The App Sandbox gives you a bit of extra protection. Install scripts in Pods will not be able to operate outside of their sandbox when installing.
- Pods will not be able to read and write files outside of their environment
