Privacy
Are you able to reproduce the issue?
Yes
What software version(s) and hardware have you reproduced the issue on?
macOS 13.5.2 / macOS 14
MacBook Air M1 / MacBook Air M2
Description
When using FileManager.selectFile to reveal an app in the /Applications folder, a notification is shown saying: "Appname was prevented from modifying apps on your Mac."
The application is then listed in System Settings > Privacy & Security > App Management.
This behavior is incorrect. Revealing a file in the Finder should not trigger a security notification as there's no modification on the target file.
Attached is an example project demonstrating the issue.
