Without this entitlement, users that wish to attach a debugger to the
codesign Julia executable they receive from julialang.org must strip
the codesigning signature from the Julia executable (e.g. via codesign --remove-signature Julia-1.5.app/Contents/Resources/bin/julia). This
has its disadvantages, of course, so much better to simply declare to
the OS that it's alright for other processes to attach to this process.

It should be com.apple.security.get-task-allow (delete the .cs).

Perhaps you can open a PR with the fix?

I'm not sure I know how to test the fix. I really know nothing about code signing other than googling the error message led me to here and I noticed the miss-spelling.
I've done --remove-signature to work around the problem on my mac for now.

Thanks for the heads up notinaboat! This will be fixed with #41559, so you can see the change is quite simple. :)
