Binding failed while starting the server

[srijanraj]

var address = sockaddr_in6()
#if !os(Linux)
address.sin6_len = UInt8(MemoryLayout<sockaddr_in6>.stride)
#endif
address.sin6_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET6)
address.sin6_port = UInt16(port).bigEndian //This basically I think Cause error
address.sin6_flowinfo = 0
address.sin6_addr = try ipAddressToStruct(address: interface)
address.sin6_scope_id = 0
let size = socklen_t(MemoryLayout<sockaddr_in6>.size)
// bind the address and port on socket
guard withUnsafePointer(to: &address, { pointer in
return pointer.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: Int(size)) { pointer in
return SystemLibrary.bind(fileDescriptor, pointer, size) >= 0
}
}) else {
throw OSError.lastIOError()
}

This part of the code is throwing the error. Error number 1 and error description "Operation Not Permitted". I am new to swift and trying to implement mock server on the ongoing project. Can someone have answer for this?

@srijanraj What's the port number you are binding to? As far as I know, if you are binding to port numbers which are below 1024 or a certain number, say you're binding port 80, it will usually require root permission to do so. I guess that's why you are seeing Operation Not Permitted error. If it's the case, I would suggest to use port numbers like 8080 or any number you like that's higher than 1024

I set port 8880 and I got the same issue, when I create severer from main app target it's okay, but when I try start server from uitests target for macOS app (for iOS it works) then I got same issue:

Embassy.OSError.ioError(number: 1, message: "Operation not permitted")

Additionally my entitlements are set:
