In the case of an Electron app packaged for the MAS (more importantly, subsequently sandboxed for such), this issue may also have the same underlying cause as a sandbox violation reported by the system console when the Electron app is started up.

Here's an example from using the 1Password8 beta and watching the event stream in Console.app:

This is still an issue. At least in Electron 26.3.0. Not tried newer yet, but since it's been here since Electron 13 I doubt it has been fixed.
