Using Cocoa NSSavePanel in Sandbox causes Assertion failure

Question

I'm trying to use the NSSavePanel and added this line to my code.

let test = NSSavePanel()

Everytime this code is called the this error appears. I'm not quite sure what is happening here because I'm only creating a new object. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Your File Access permissions for the User Selected File type are probably still set to the default Read Only value

1. Navigate to the 'Capabilities' tab for your target

2. Set the User Selected File permission to Read/Write

3. Run your app (the bridge absent error should be gone)
