Your files belong in ~/Library/Application Support/YourSubfolder, not
in ~/YourSubfolder. See the section of the "File System Overview"
document entitled "Don't Pollute User Space":

I don't install files into that folder, my application writes files
to that location (by default, the user can change it) once installed.
From the above document:
"It is important to remember that the user domain (/Users) is
intended for files created by the user. With the exception of the ~/
Library directory, your application should never ***install*** files
into the user’s home directory. In particular, you should never
install files into a user’s Documents directory or into the /Users/
Shared directory. These directories should only be modified by the
user."
They keyword here is ***install***.
Only admin's are required to install the App.
Just because only admins need to install it doesn't imply that they
don't want to run it from elsewhere.
They can run the app from elsewhere, just not install it. This is the
way we want it to work for a number of reasons far too long to go
into now.
