NSOpenPanel in Cocoa app with app-sandboxing gives an error

I am doing a simple file open panel in my Cocoa app. I enable entitlements and app sandboxing and the following code now gives me an error on setFloatingPanel. Can't figure out why?

NSArray* fileTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"png", @"PNG", nil];  
NSOpenPanel *panel;
panel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
[panel setTitle:@"Select Photo"];
[panel setFloatingPanel:YES];

result in the following error

As you've mentioned you've enabled app sandboxing, that explains why you're seeing NSRemoteOpenPanel in your crash log.

Apparently Apple's NSRemoteOpenPanel doesn't descend from NSOpenPanel or NSSavePanel or NSPanel (which is where the setFloatingPanel method gets defined).

I'd recommend filing an enhancement request (or bug) at http://bugreporter.apple.com

It also may be that Apple doesn't want sandboxed apps to have floating panels or windows that live outside the "normal" Window layer, in which case your bug will get closed or commented upon really quick.
