OK, so I was able to obtain the Privileged File Operations entitlement, but now I am needing some help getting it to work. When I request authorization, I see the message that my app "wants to install symlinks in /usr/local. Is it possible to change this path or is this API only for this location? I've only found a couple examples of people using it online and the ones I've come across are using it for installing command line tools. When I get my authorization, I call the function signature specified in the documentation but then I crash with "Invalid path/URL argument" ... The URLs work if I force the operation with a temporary exception, so not sure what the issue is there. I get this crash even if I try to create my symlink in /usr/local/. Perhaps I can get some code-level support on this? Any help appreciated!

OK so it does work reliably if instead I use com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write and put my symlink in the user library. Would still be interested to know the answer to my original question if anyone has some insight!

Hi did you make any progress on this?
