In my sandboxed MacOS app I want to access OSLogStore programmatically to fetch logs for multi-component application (app, libraries, deriver) for further analysis. According to the documentation, the app should have com.apple.logging.local-storeentitlement.

I have added this entitlement "by hand" to the entitlement file as I I can't find a correspondent entry in the Xcode -> Sign & Capabilities interface.

When I run the app, I get Unsatisfied entitlements: com.apple.logging.local-store error and the app doesn't start.

If I remove the entitlement, the app can't get access to the logd subsystem.

How can I add com.apple.logging.local-store to my app?
Should I request this not visible via Xcode configuration UI from apple?

Thanks!

This is good news / bad news story:

The bad news is that there’s no way for a third-party developer to get the com.apple.logging.local-store entitlement.
The good news is that it’s not necessary: As long as you’re running as an admin user, you don’t need the entitlement.
The bad news is that this won’t work from within the App Sandox. AFAICT there’s no way for a third-party sandboxed app to access the log store.

We were just bitten by this same issue. Three years and the documentation is still apparently wrong. 😠 Deleting the entitlement solves the problem. I'm glad to have stumbled onto this discussion.
