On MacOS Sonoma 14.8.5 (23J423) on an M1 Mac I am getting frequent alert dialogs:

"Mol v5 beta Apr-27-2026" would like to access files in your Documents folder.

If I click Allow, the file opens normally, but then if I quit and reopen the same file, I get the dialog again. Normally I only see one of these dialogs whenever I switch to a different version of MoI (in other words, once I Allow, that version will no longer trigger the dialog).

When I go to System Settings / Privacy & Security / Files and Folders / Mol v5 beta Apr-27-2026, Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folders are all allowed. When I quit MoI and check again, the same folders are still allowed (as I would expect)

I’m seeing the same thing,

Hi Larry, from a console window please run this:

codesign -s - --deep /Applications/MoI\ v5\ beta\ Apr-27-2026.app

Then it will still happen one more time but is it ok after that?

HI Michael,

I had the same problem and this has sorted it as far as I can tell…
