Writing files to a shared location from a managed application

I'm writing an MDM managed application that will be used to write files to a location that is accessible by other applications. I've attempted to write to /Library/Application Support and /usr/local/etc. Both locations fail because my application doesn't have permission.

I tried using a launchd plist to launch the application as a daemon (where it is running as root) and I converted the application to background-only but neither of those made a difference.

I also granted the application Full Disk Access to no avail.

Is there a better location I can write a file that other apps will be able to read? Is there a step I am missing in getting a managed application permission to write to any of these locations?

Try /Users/Shared.
