Did macOS Sonoma add additional file read-write restrictions?

Hello,

I have an app in the App Store that is your typical cleaner app. The app searches for files from deleted apps and can remove them. Under macOS Sonoma the app does no longer work.

When deleting files, the following message appears in the Console:

System Policy: App(1636) deny(1) file-write-unlink

The app has scoped bookmarks for the folder and additionally I added Full Disk Access for my app - it still does not work? Is there another layer on top of that?

The app works perfectly fine on Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura.

Regards, Sascha

The files are in /Users/admin/Library/Containers.

Yes. See WWDC 2023 Session 10053 What’s new in privacy, starting around 17:46.
