I have been trying to notarize an app since yesterday tried about 20 times at various times of the day. Most times it stops during the upload and produces an error message "Couldn't communicate with a helper application" which occurs at various places while downloading. Three times the upload appeared to complete but then produced an error "This operation could not be completed (SotoS3.S3ErrorType.Multipart.error.1 I then looked in the status log which had several entries: Prepared archive for uploading (green check to left) Upload failed (red x to left) Notary error (red x to left) The operation couldn't be completed (SotoS3.S3ErrorType...) In Progress (grey timer icon to left)

I have an application that has worked fine for years, however on a latest build on Sonoma and the most recent version of Xcode when I run the app I receive errors trying to access a plist file via a shared defaults controller which contains preferences. This used to work but now generates errors that I am trying to access a file outside of the container I'd appreciate any help understanding what has changed and how I can resolve it. I have heard about a setting allowing read/write access to preferences but cannot find it in Xcode
