Description
Describe the bug
The PowerApp Cli seems to be creating the usersetting.json in a wrong path. Instead of creating in user's Library folder, it seems to be creating in the application folder. This is happening in MacOS. The attached screenshot will help explain this better.
Version: 1.15.3+g79950a8
To Reproduce
- Install Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio Code (Mac M1)
- Execute any Cli commands
- A new folder structure gets created inside the application folder instead of ~/Library
