I cannot access any permissions, especially Bluetooth, and local data in the MacCatalyst app when App Sandbox is enabled in MAUI. The popup asking for permissions is not displaying even though I have set all permissions in Info.plist and Entitlements.plist as below

Note:When I disable Sandbox everything works fine.But I need to enable sandbox in order to work with secure storage

Entitlement.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
