SwiftySandboxFileAccess UserDefaults value

SwiftySandboxFileAccess works the first time the user approves the NSOpenPanel selection, but the next time the app opens, the security bookmark doesn't have access even though SwiftySandboxFileAccess thinks it has access just because a value is saved in the UserDefaults I think?

This is what SwiftySandboxFileAccess is saving in UserDefaults

1. What's the bd_ it added at the beginning of the file:// path?
2. What're all these 8 bit things?

More Context:

This is how I'm trying to use the security bookmark:

  func accessRunFileVacuum(args: VacuumCli) {
    let access = SandboxFileAccess()
    let success = access.access(

      fileURL: URL(fileURLWithPath: "/Volumes"),
      askIfNecessary: true,
      persistPermission: true, with: {
      
      print("access the URL here")
      self.runFileVacuumCLI(args)

    })

    print("🤩 pickFile success: \(success)")
  }

"access the URL here" ..., URL... hum... 🤔

I was reading a related security bookmarks ticket and it mentioned that the Security Bookmark needs to be saved as a URL and then passed into the sub-process that wants to use it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27321020/1762493

the with: {} block is wrapped in startAccessingSecurityScopedResource/stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource already via SwiftySandboxFileAccess seen here: https://github.com/ConfusedVorlon/SwiftySandboxFileAccess/blob/master/SwiftySandboxFileAccess/Classes/SandboxFileAccess.swift#L87

runFileVacuumCLI() runs as a Queue Operation:

  func runFileVacuumCLI(_ args: VacuumCli) {
    checkVolumesAccess()

    if queue.operationCount < 1 {

      fvOperation = FileVacuumOperation(vacuumCli: args)
      queue.addOperations([fvOperation], waitUntilFinished: false)
      
    }
  }

SandboxFileAccess().requestPermissions() allowed control when startAccessingSecurityScopedResource was invoked. Turns out somehow calling securityScopedFileURL?.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() == true once before trying to access the file did the trick.

To be clear, SandboxFileAccess().access() also calls startAccessingSecurityScopedResource(), then executes a passed block{}, then calls stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource(). Since my function is async, stop was getting called and my access was closed on that file.

let success = access.requestPermissions(
    forFileURL: URL(fileURLWithPath: bodyString),
    askIfNecessary: true,
    persistPermission: true, with: { securityScopedFileURL, bookmarkData in

      if (securityScopedFileURL?.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() == true) {
        self.testLog("🎲 gainAccess inside startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() == true")
      }
})

self.testLog("🤩 pickFile success: \(success)")

I believe this is related to the "balancing of startAccessingSecurityScopedResource" mentioned in this other answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24301326/1762493
