Description

I was walking through the continue tutorial and I think on macos, with the new strictness about allowing things to write to the file system, having to grant special permissions to specific apps, I’ve run into a problem with the tutorial. Here is a screenshot. I'm trying to figure out what would need to be granted write permission and how/where to do that.

Determine which tutorial step fails when creating the SQLite database and identify the required write permission; done means the tutorial works or clearly documents the macOS permission steps.
