Where do you save preferences?

Hi Monte,
I'm still of the opinion that apps that write to the Preferences folder, no
matter how they do it, will be rejected by the Mac App Store, although I
will admit that it's far from clear.  I've already switched my app over to
comply with the MAS guidelines.

I will attempty to get clarification on this from Apple.
