Re: So it looks like the data file which is wrapped up inside the application can’t be used
After opening the app's package, doing a "Get Info" on the contents, making permissions R/W, and then building the app, that message went away in the built application. I had set the DB preference to not alert when the database was in R/O mode, but now that I think about it, it was set for the app's DB and not for the Default Data folder's DB. Might revisit that first.
