Summary:
In OS X Mavericks (10.9), after deleting an app's sandbox container, on next run, the sandbox container is recreated, with the exception of the app's Preferences plist.

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to Reproduce:

 1. Run either of the included apps in Xcode 4.6.3 or Xcode 5 Developer Preview. It has a single checkbox that is persisted to the sandbox's Preferences plist.
 2. Click the checkbox and quit the app.
 3. Re-run the app to verify the checkbox is checked on subsequent launch, and quit the app.
 4. Delete the app's Sandbox: rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.orangutango.SandboxDefaults (or com.orangutango.SandboxDefaultsXcode4)
 5. Re-run the app from Xcode, click the checkbox, and quit.
 6. Re-run the app from Xcode, verify the checkbox is *not* checked.
 7. Verify that ~/Library/Containers/com.orangutango.SandboxDefaults{Xcode4}/Data/Library/Preferences/com.orangutango.SandboxDefaults{Xcode4}.plist does not exist.

Expected Results:
 When the Sandbox is recreated, it's expected that the plist for the app's defaults is recreated.

Actual Results:
While the rest of the Sandbox is recreated, the app's defaults plist is not.

Version:
Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

Notes:
Attached is a sample project you can use to verify the bug (just supplying the Xcode 5 version)

Creating the defaults plist manually in the recreated containers folder makes it so values will start saving again.
