Exiting with: Operation not permitted hdiutil: create failed

[aziesemer]

Worked fine for years, but now, when I try to run, I'm getting:

Creating disk image...
could not access /Volumes/xx/xxxt.app - Operation not permitted hdiutil: create failed - Operation not permitted

It may have something to do with MacOS 13.4.1 or Xcode 14.3.1 that I recently updated.

This is the full log:

You need to grant full disk access for the Terminal app.
