Description
When sandboxing and bundling a macOS app, it is necessary to include the following entitlement:
<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
<true/>
Without this, the app fails to function correctly.(white screen) While I am not entirely sure whether this requirement is due to Tauri’s backend-frontend communication architecture or the use of a WebView, I would greatly appreciate any insights on this.
Debugging and resolving this issue was extremely time-consuming and frustrating. I believe it would be beneficial to document this properly to help others facing the same problem.
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by locating the macOS sandboxing or app-bundling documentation in the repository. Document the com.apple.security.network.client entitlement and explain that omitting it can cause a bundled sandboxed app to show a white screen, while clarifying its relevance to Tauri's backend-frontend communication or WebView usage if the documentation establishes that.
