Hello Paul,
I was thinking that a way to make things simpler, which might solve these
permissions woes is to not have the separate libraries folder sitting
outside the app bundle, but instead add the whole folder in the Copy Files
section of the standalone, and then in your code access this folder
List Folks: A head up of a Catalina issue:
If your code signed Standalone is trying to access stacks that are
OUTSIDE the app bundle under Catalina, sometimes Catalina will not
properly detect your apps need for access. You will not get an "App
wants access to blah blah: Allow or Deny" dialogs
