macOS Mac OS XCode - Network Access

[d0zz0r]

I create an application that try to do HTTP Get Request. I do it with call "curl" with "popen()". I log response of curl and get:


"Operation not permitted. Couldn't connect to server"


I know that if i compile binary just from cli - all ok. Problem with C-Obj or XCode or something same. Who know whats problem and how resolve it ?

No one is going to be able to help much without knowing a lot more details, for example platform/OS, exactly what you are doing, what you have done so far, maybe a minimal example, etc.

Generally I agree with you; People should give as much context as they can when asking technical question to take away the guesswork. However in this case I knew exactly what the problem was immediately

When you make an app project in Xcode, it sets up your project with sandboxing, which compiling with clang or GCC directly from the CLI won’t. You need to add a “hole” in your sandbox for networking. It’s intentional behaviour for security. If another program finds a way to exploit your program to get arbitrary code execution on the machine inside your program’s execution space, their possibilities will be limited by your sandboxing needs.
There should be a simple checkbox for it in the top level project view, but also this key does it for outgoing request

com.apple.security.network.client | Apple Developer Documentation

A Boolean value indicating whether your app may open outgoing network connections.

developer.apple.com

There’s a similar key for incoming networking called server instead of client

I won't take money for anything, but I'll gladly help.

It should be placed in the file that ends with .entitlements

It's a plist, Xcode has a nice editor for it. You add a row, fill in that entitlement name, set it to boolean and write either YES or 1 in the value field
