Thank you for your followup! I understand that the error is something along the lines of:

connecting to desktop app: determining parent process of <pid>: operation not permitted

Can you please share what process has the ID? You can find that using ps aux. This will help us debug as we'll know whether it's going to far up the parent tree or whether there's another problem.

Also, if you are willing to install pstree (brew install pstree), that would be even more helpful.

In that case, if you can first run the op command and copy the error message and then immediately run pstree -w -p $$, that would be of great help. Then we have the full process tree and the PID of the process that is causing the problem.

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Best,
