[bug] [macOS] NSOpenPanel openPanel returns NULL

[dwosk]

Describe the bug

On startup, my application will check for updates and automatically download and install them in the background. Once complete, the app will display a "Restart app" indicator to the user so that they can restart the app when they are ready to apply the update.

However, it seems like after an update is installed, opening a file dialog will result in a panic. For example, via the open export of @tauri-apps/plugin-dialog.

Found this error in Console.app:

Based off that message, here are the previous logs from that specific xpc service. Just a screenshot as not sure how to export as text:

I'm guessing Apple invalidates the xpc connection for security reasons?

So far having good results by adding a couple of entitlements:
