TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by adjusting the approval settings to balance security with the required level of access for the app to function outside the sandbox.

Guidance

  • Review the approval settings to ensure they are not overly restrictive, as the "Full" setting seems to be causing the app to be blocked.
  • Consider setting the approval to a level that allows the necessary access for the app to run outside the sandbox while maintaining security.
  • Test the app with different approval settings to find the optimal balance between security and functionality.
  • Verify that the expected behavior is clearly defined and understood before adjusting settings.

Notes

The exact expected behavior is not specified, which might affect the choice of approval settings. Understanding the intended functionality of the app when setting approvals to "Full" is crucial for resolving the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the approval settings to a level that allows the app to run outside the sandbox while ensuring security, as the current "Full" setting seems too restrictive.
