I have several testers and only one has the problem. He's running Mac
Ventura, but so are a couple of others. The app is signed and notarized
using your wonderful tool. Normally the Mac asks if the app can write files
to disk and directs the user to system prefs / privacy and security so the
user can give permissions. Either one tester ignored the dialog or never
saw it. Without write permissions the prefs file is never copied to the
Preferences folder.
I directed him to system prefs to solve the problem but I don't want users
to have to do that. I read that apps can automatically write to preferences
or application support if the app is sandboxed, and it doesn't need any
special entitlements to do that, so I think think that's what I need to do.
But I'd like verify my assumption is correct.
@Matthias, if I enable the entitlements checkbox in your tool but don't add
any of the listed entitlements, will it add the sandbox directive
automatically? I think I only need that one line.

This is what Apple says:
"If you distribute your macOS app through the App Store, you must enable
App Sandbox. If you notarize your macOS app to distribute it outside of the
App Store, you must enable hardened runtime and, optionally, can also
enable App Sandbox."

What os does the user run who has the problems to run the app? Did he allow
to run programs from outside the App Store?
If you don't mind, you can send me your app and i will try it here.

Short version: how do I bypass Gatekeeper to write a prefs file?
I need to save a file in ~/Library/Application Support/myAppFolder/. Am I
correct that I need to sandbox the app before I can write a file there?
I read an LC lesson that said no special entitlements are required to
create an app folder and a file. I can't test it myself because I already
have full access.
If this is correct so far, then do I just need to provide the sandbox
entitlement and nothing else?
