I’m new to building application on Mac. I have global data that I need to share between users and not sure where to store this data on Mac to avoid permissions issues when reading and writing files.
On Windows I have stored it in /ProgramData/ in the past.
Changeable goes in /Library/Application Support/application-name however note you will need to ask for an admin username and password.
If the data is never change or only at install then it can be held inside the Application bundle.
