I of course don't actually use sparkle in the app store build, but the framework is still bundled into the application
Developers do not bundle Sparkle for App Store builds.
Developers do indeed bundle Sparkle for App Store builds.
I'm half-certain your app will be rejected if you include Sparkle in your app even if you get past these issues. It's not advised and most if not all apps do not do it. Plus you are bundling a framework you don't need for an App Store build, so it's also a waste.
Sparkle has never been fully sandboxed and developers have been shipping App Store and Sparkle builds side-by-side since 2011 or whenever the App Store came out for macOS.
Summary
sparkle framework fails app store connect verification due to missing sandboxing for its bundled executables
I of course don't actually use sparkle in the app store build, but the framework is still bundled into the application
Possible Fix
enable the app sandbox for all bundled executables
Version
2.6.4
