The same app build in xcode 10 is not throwing user consent when trying to access Documents , but when i rebuild it with xcode 11 latest SDK, it started asking for user consent when accessing documents. I tested this in catalina environment.

I am seeing a weird behaviour when i copied my app to application folder without code signing and notarizing then i am seeing multiple User consents related to file access, but when i codesign and notarize and then copy it to my applications folder and use , i am not seeing user consents related to Files and Folders access. How is this related ?

With new security and permission related checks including in Mojave and Catalina. In my swift application I am trying to create a copy of file using below function“open func copyItem(at srcURL: URL, to dstURL: URL) throws”As I call this function , my application entry is created under Full Disk Access panel of Security & Privacy in System Preferences. Unless until I enable this I can’t create a copy of my file using the function I mentioned above.My issue: This entry getting added to the Full Disk Access is happening silently, I dont see any security alert asking me to allow or dont allow. We dont even have any API to get this information , so that we can ask user to manually add it.Where can I get appropriate documentation about Full Disk access feature which will help to understand which locations are restricted to access and how can I enable it programtically without users interference

Applications which require Full Disk Access in macOS 10.14 Mojave must instruct their users to navigate into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access and add the application to the whitelist. This procedure is complicated and will frustrate new users of such an app.There should be a API for this – an asynchronous function which, when called by an app, would present the user with a dialog requesting Full Disk Access and, if the user clicks OK, automatically enter the calling app into the Full Disk Access whitelist. This function should pass the user's YES or NO to its completion handler. There should be another function which would indicate an app's Full Disk Access status.It appears that Apple has added API to check for AppleEvent authorization. Did they added something similar for Full disk access, if yes please redirect me to that API

In mac osx when user logouts from it, I want to do certain action to make it graceful. I added my code in func applicationWillTerminate(_ aNotification: Notification) { // do some housekeeping }But my code is not completely executing, I want to block logout until my operation is complete.
