New version in Mac OS - cannot open business file

I had been keeping my Manager (Desktop version on Mac OS 14.6.1) open while working, but had closed it and updated recently. Since then, I cannot open the program without seeing the following error message:

Access to path {my local path} is denied. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘{my local path}’ is denied. —>

System.IO.IOException: Operation not permitted — End of inner exception stack trace — at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator1.CreateDirectoryHandle(String path, Boolean ignoreNotFound) at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator1.Init() at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerable`1..ctor(String directory, FindTransform transform, EnumerationOptions options, Boolean isNormalized) at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerableFactory.UserFiles(String directory, String expression, EnumerationOptions options) at System.IO.Directory.InternalEnumeratePaths(String path, String searchPattern, SearchTarget searchTarget, EnumerationOptions options) at System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path, String searchPattern, EnumerationOptions enumerationOptions) at Manager.ApplicationData.Refresh() in /Users/runner/work/Manager/Manager/Manager/ApplicationData.cs:line 138 at Manager.ApplicationData..cctor() in /Users/runner/work/Manager/Manager/Manager/ApplicationData.cs:line 58

Given the line numbers referenced, I’m curious if this is a bug in the new version. I have no options when opening the application - I can’t import a new business, I am just presented with the error message.

Manager version 25.4.2.2221 - downloaded April 2, 2025

Welcome to the forum @spaceforsunflowers,

This is a bug.

Meanwhile, try upgrading to the latest version 25.4.3.2227 and see if your issue is resolved.

HI @Ealfardan,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this did not solve my issue. After updating to 25.4.3.2227 I am still receiving the same error.
