I think that's right, Apple enforces this rule.
The standalone builder will move files to a Resources folder when it
builds the app. For backward compatibility, scripts that reference the
engine folder are redirected to the Resources folder automatically.

To my understanding, it's a requirement in accordance with Apple's
sandboxing policies, if you want an executable to be able to make
changes to files inside the executable bundle. The way it's supposed
to work, no application is allowed to write or modify anything in the
old location where the actual application binary resides, but in the
new location they can.
As an administrative user I am able to copy files to both locations,
but sandboxing is not about folder permissions. It's about executable
permissions and it's baked into the OS so no one can (ostensibly)
change it.
That is my understanding at least. I've not dug in enough to know for
certain.

Hello, "Apple requires" - Is this only a "best practise" guideline
or what will happen if you don't care? I have an old application
just migrated to LC 8, where I am running an independent stack file
in that old dir("Contents/MacOS"), and it is running fine on MacOS
10.12.3 Is there any Apple link about that or are there any
informations, into which issue you can run, if you put files into
the old dir? If you integrate Valentina, they also keep one file in
that directory. Thanks for any info Tiemo
