I should have been more clear that this was for an app, sorry about that. I can create the file
too on my own drive. The problem is with a built app on someone else's drive. OS permissions
normally forbid any file or folder creation outside the app bundle.
I'm not sure if I need to sandbox the app or if there's an easier way. One tester had no
trouble (the Mac asked for permissions) but another tester didn't get a notification and
thought the app was broken.

Not sure if this helps: I just put this in the message box in the IDE and hit
enter, and it created the folder successfully. I don’t remember ever
specifically allowing LC to do that, but then I think I have given LC
permissions to modify files on the OS drive.
put "~/Library/Application Support/FormsGen" into tFoldername;create folder
tFolderName

Short version: how do I bypass Gatekeeper to write a prefs file?
I need to save a file in ~/Library/Application Support/myAppFolder/. Am I
correct that I need to sandbox the app before I can write a file there?
I read an LC lesson that said no special entitlements are required to create an
app folder and a file. I can't test it myself because I already have full
access.
If this is correct so far, then do I just need to provide the sandbox
entitlement and nothing else?
