Define Entitlements

Keep your entitlements.plist outside of the /Applications/CoreAmp.app folder. Based on your previous logs, this setup allows network access and location while satisfying the apsd (push notification) requirements.

File: ~/build/entitlements.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.personal-information.location</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Sign the App

Even without a paid Developer ID, you must "Ad-Hoc" sign the app so the macOS kernel knows it matches the entitlements you just defined.

codesign --force --deep --sign - --entitlements ~/build/entitlements.plist /Applications/CoreAmp.app
