Help - Can't switch off security warning

Hi, I'm using Swift Playground version 4.6.4 (1997.50) on macOS Tahoe 26.1 and when I create new apps, I get a security warning message every time I try to add a new line of code or switch between ContentView and MyApp source files 🤬

The message is "My app.app would like to access data from other apps"

I've checked my Mac's Privacy & Security settings to ensure Playground has full disk access. Clicking the "Allow" button does not resolve the issue, it keeps happening each time I do anything - its makes Playground unusable 😞

Does anyone know how to stop these messages ? Is this a bug ?

I don’t have any answers for you, sadly, but I will point out that you’re not the only one hitting this. See Reoccurring data access prompt issue with Swift Playgrounds 4.6.4 on macOS 26.1.

@DTS Engineer - Is there a bug report for this / do you know if its being addressed soon (MacOS 26.2) ?? Its a big productivity blocker for me :-(

Rather than dilute our efforts here, I’ve reply on that other thread I mentioned.
