Has anyone here encountered this? It's driving me crazy.

Screenshot 2025-07-11 at 12.38.42 PM.png

It appears on launch.

App Sandbox is enabled. The proper entitlement is selected (com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write)

I believe this is causing an issue with app functionality for users on different machines.

There is zero documentation across the internet on this problem.

I am on macOS 26 beta. This error appears in both Xcode and Xcode-beta.

Please help!

Thank you, Logan

This is very likely to be log noise. You wrote:

What evidence do you have for that?

I’m not being snarky here, I genuinely want to know. Because my experience is that, when folks see a log entry like this, they tend to ‘lock on’ o that error and assume it’s causing all their problems. However, in most cases there’s either no error, which is the point I try to explain in On Log Noise, or there is an error but it’s not actually related to the log entry.

Of course sometimes it is actually related to the log entry, so there’s a judgement call to be made here |-:

So I figured something out - if I remove App Sandbox under the Signing and Capabilities tab, the error goes away. This pin points where the issue is coming from. But now, I can't find a way to re-enable App Sandbox without getting the console error again. Any thoughts?

I've already tried the following:

Removing and re-adding my developer account
Clearing Derived Data
Downloading the latest Xcode (s)

I've determined this to be a bug with macOS 26 beta. I opened a previously submitted project, and encountered the same error where I had not seen it before.
